Chapter 200 Dead
“It’s not about money. She hates me for abandoning them,” Elijah said.
Naomi let out a derisive snort. “Why would she hate you for that? It’s normal for couples to get a divorce
when the spark is gone in the marriage. Moreover, you’re her father, and Harry is her half-brother.”
“She’s always been obstinate. There’s nothing I can do. My other daughter is busy filming abroad. I don’t
even know her exact address. Furthermore, I have no time to go and look for her,” said Elijah, at a loss
for what to do.
He continued, “Harry can’t wait any longer. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to come here and look for them.”
“Too bad my bone marrow isn’t a match with Harry’s.” Naomi gazed at Harry sympathetically. Or else,
Elijah wouldn’t need to resort to seeking help from his ex-wife’s daughter.
She pondered for a brief moment before suggesting to him, “Uncle Elijah, why don’t you just bring her to
the hospital for the surgery since she’s that intractable? You can give her some money as compensation
afterward.”
“I don’t think that’s appropriate.” Elijah frowned.
“What’s wrong with that?” Naomi pursed her lips and continued, “She’s your daughter and Harry’s sister,
after all. If you don’t feel comfortable doing that, I can find someone to do it for you instead.”
“Let me think about it.”
In spite of everything, Rayna was still his daughter, and Elijah felt that he indeed owed Rayna and his
siblings a lot over the past few years.
Since he already said so, Naomi stopped persuading him and implied, “Uncle Elijah, you know that my
aunt’s health is deteriorating. Harry is her only child, and she loves him dearly. She wouldn’t want him to
suffer this way. Besides, my father’s company needs him when he recovers later.”
“I know.”
The trio had dinner and chatted for quite some time in the restaurant.
Since it was getting late and Harry needed to stay in the hospital due to his sickness, Naomi sent them to
the hospital and used her connections to arrange a private ward for Harry.

“Naomi, I thought you were doing fine there. Why did you return to Chanaea? You even changed your
surname,” Elijah asked curiously. Since they had no business dealings in Chanaea, Elijah had never paid
attention to Faymon Group’s affairs.
“The salary is high here. Besides, I could gain exposure by working in a big company. I merely changed
my surname on the work application form for the sake of convenience,” Naomi replied.
“Which company are you working in?”
“Faymon Group.”
“This company is quite renowned. I heard that it’s the backbone of Norwal City.” Previously, Elijah had
done some research and found out that Rayna was working there too. He did not expect Naomi to work
in the same company as well.
“Times are bad for the company now. All our subsidiary companies are currently facing crises. Because
of that, our company’s stocks are falling drastically. We also have a new leader now.”
As an experienced businessman, Elijah immediately grasped the main point in her words. ”There must
be some family drama going on, right? How about you return with us? Your father misses you a lot.”
“I’m relieved that you’re there to help him, Uncle Elijah. I’m still young, and I wish to stay here and learn
more.” Naomi smiled faintly.
Elijah stopped persuading her at that.
Soon, they arrived at the hospital, and Naomi brought them to the private ward. Before she left, she
noticed the familiar background on Harry’s phone screen. “Harry, do you like Kristie?”
“You know her, too?” Harry turned to look at Naomi. He was a taciturn person, but his eyes lit up almost
instantly when he heard Kristie’s name.
“Yes. She’s my boss’ sister.”
“Really? She’s so pretty! I’m here huge fan, and I watch all her shows. I heard that she’s currently in
Norwal City,” Harry exclaimed in excitement.
Naomi ruffled his short hair and beamed. “Yes, Ms. Winton is now in Norwal City. Since you like her so
much, I’ll bring you to meet her after you’ve recovered.”
Harry became increasingly excited when he found out about the relationship between Naomi and Kristie.
The passion in his eyes burned as he couldn’t wait to meet Kristie right away.
“I’ll definitely do my best to get better! Naomi, you must keep your word!”
“Of course.”
Subsequently, Harry watched reluctantly as Naomi left the ward.
As soon as Naomi got into her car, her phone rang.
It was a call from someone named “Sellers.” Naomi’s gaze turned tender as soon as she saw the caller
ID. Without hesitation, she answered the call and said sweetly, “Hey, it’s been thirty-nine days since you
last contacted me.”
“Forgive me. I was busy. We’ve been apart for such a long time. Did you miss me?” The man’s voice
sounded gentle and attractive.
As she drove steadily, she responded playfully, “Why should I miss you?”
“You didn’t? I miss you every day, though. I wish you were by my side, especially when I’m tired from
work.” He chuckled lightly, his tone seductive.
His sweet nothings filled Naomi’s heart with happiness to the brim.
She fell head over heels for the man and was so obsessed with him that she could go to great lengths for
him and would listen to everything he said.
After saying how much they missed each other, Naomi switched the topic and said, “Jefferson has
disappeared in Hallsbay. I think he’s suffering from another episode and was hidden by Ringo in one of
the hospitals.”
“The intervals between his attacks have become shorter by the day. He still has many things to settle. It’s
going to be a pity if he dies just like that,” the man lamented.
“It’s all your fault! You didn’t tell me about your plan in advance and increased the dosage, disrupting our
subsequent plans!” Naomi roared on the other end of the line.

Naomi snorted and continued reporting, “Jefferson and Rayna stayed in Hallsbay for seven days, and he
took her to his newly-bought manor. Before Rayna left, she met up with Ringo.”
“Manor? What manor?”
“He bought a manor in Hallsbay when he went there previously and had someone plant a camellia
garden there.”
“Ask someone to burn it down.” The man’s voice turned cold abruptly.
Naomi sneered. “That’s because his mother likes camellia. He’s smart enough. He’s been hiding from
Rayna all these years and only dares to appear before her again after getting the inheritance.”
As Naomi continued speaking, she became puzzled. “I don’t get it. There’s nothing special about Rayna.
She’s pretty ordinary, but even Curtis falls for her. What do men see in him? Is she that attractive?”
“Is she smarter than you?” asked the man.
“No, of course. But she learns fast. After what happened to Curtis, she became the acting CEO of
Faymon Group and helped the company overcome a few crises.”
Naomi paused briefly and mocked, “However, she’s not cruel enough, clearly lacking experience in the
business world. In the end, she got fooled by Curtis and ended up in a wretched state.”
The man’s interest was piqued. “I can’t wait to meet her since you’ve put it that way. I sent someone to
attack Rayna so that I could see my dear brother suffer. To my surprise, she was so lucky that she
escaped unscathed! What a lucky woman.”
Naomi said in annoyance, “So it was you? I knew Sienna wouldn’t be fearless enough to do that under
her nephew’s nose. You should stop intervening. Leave this to me! Moreover, Jefferson is not the same
as he was. It will be troublesome to deal with him once he’s triggered.”
The man said appeasingly, “Okay. I won’t interrupt anymore. I’ll head to Chanaea half a month later.”
“For what?”
He let out a low chuckle. “I want to see you. Besides, I want to join in the fun.”
