Chapter 126 

After conducting prior research, Jessie took Naomi directly to the hospital upon arrival in Atopan. 

“Ms. Edwards, 11l be in Atopan for a few days. If you encounter any trouble or need help during this time, feel free to reach out to me. Here’s my business card.” Jessie handed her card to Naomi. “Ms. Edwards, I believe you might need it” 

Naomi accepted in, saying, “Thank you” 

She was still dressed in her attire from the party. After nodding slightly in gratitude, she quickly ran into the hospital. Wearing high heels, she stumbled on the stairs. Jane hurried to assist, but Naomi had already taken off her shoes and continued inside holding them 

Barbara had been transferred to a VIP room. Inside the room, besides Mike, there was another person accompanying her 

Shawn didn’t want to stay in the hospital room, so he walked out From a distance, he saw Naomi running towards him with her high heels in hand. He stood still, thinking he must be mistaken. 

When Naomi saw him, her face immediately lit up with a smile. After the seven–hour car journey, her makeup had already smudged, and avoiding sleep and food had left her visibly tired. Despite stumbling earlier and feeling a slight pain in her knee, all she wanted was to see Shawn. 

Rushing towards him, she joyfully called out from afar, “Mr. Fischer? 

Shawn hesitated for a moment but eventually slowly opened his arms. The next second, she threw herself into his embrace. Breathing heavily, with her dirty face and bright eyes, she said, “Mr. Fischer, I missed you so much?” 

Shawn gazed at her for a while, a smile playing on his lips, and his eyes softened a bit. “Why are you in such a state, Naomi? You look truly disheveled 

Naomi exclaimed in surprise, the joy of their reunion instantly shattered by Shawn’s comment. Pouting, she abruptly pushed him away, saying 

Then I’ll leave.” 

Shawn reached out and grabbed her hand. “Go see Grandma.” 

“But look at me like this. Named stated, but Shawn was already pulling her into the hospital room. All three people in the room simultaneously. 

looked up 

Upon seeing Emily, Naomi had a sense of impending doo, and true enough, the nest moment Barbara spoke up, “Naomi, you’re back. Come here, dear” 

Habara waved at her, saying. “Let me introduce you. This is Emily, the heiress of the Fowler family. She had been engaged to Shawn before they were even barn. Emily had been abroad all this time and just returned recently. Upon hearing that I fell, she immediately rushed over to take care 

Naomi looked towards Sham, who stood at a distance, his expression clearly disdainful

As she walked forward, Barbara took her hand, saying. “Naomi, you and Shawn have been together for so long, yet you there something wrong with your health?” 

“What healthy issue could Naomi possibly have? She’s just having an affair outside Rosalind voce chimed in, followed by her graceful entry into the hospital roo 

She held a newspaper and some photos, offering them smilingly, “Mrs Fischer, here are some rumors circulating 

ng about Naomi during her time at 

Barbara looked puzzled at Rosalind. “And who are you?” 

Tm Rosalind, Naomi’s sister,” Rosalind presented her gift. “Mrs. Fischer, I heard you were hospitalized, and I was worried. I was afraid Naomi might inadvertently upset you, so I hurriedly bought these gifts to visit you” 

“Mrs. Fischer, a small token of goodwill, please don’t be offended,” she added. 

Harbora, having seen it all, and met all kinds of people, knew Rosalind’s intentions. She took the newspaper and photos, glanced at them, then looked back at Naomi. Her gaze was no longer as friendly and approachable as when they first met at Spring Villa 

“Naomi, shouldn’t you explain a bit?” the asked. 

Naomi also saw the photos, showing Kevin approaching her car window after rear–ending her, followed by her slapping him 

These photos were clearly taken deliberately, with angles carefully chosen and designed to depict Naomi and Kevin in an intimate and ambiguous light. 

“Mrs. Fischer, I didn’t do this, Naomi calmly replied. “If you trust me, there’s no need for me to explain. If you don’t trust me, then my explanation

would be in vain” 

Barbara chuckled. “You have me at a loss for words” 

Emily picked up the photos and remarked. “This one seems to be a newly emerging actor names Kevin, Handsome and charming, bracnally seems to complement Ms. Edwards quite well.” 

“Ms. Edwards has been working at Rack during this time, and being around such a handsome boy might stir feelings. If she has betrayed Shawn. she should leave him early! Emily stated. 

Naomi gazed steadily at Emily, who was smiling at her with an uplifted corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with coldness, seemingly wishing to pummel her to death. 

“I didn’t know why Kevin dared to be so bold before, but now I understand, it was by Ms. Fowler’s design, Naomi said, approaching Shawn. “Shawn, 1 didn’t have any inappropriate relationships with other men. I only love you.” 

“Kevin rear–ended my car, the driver and Jane saw it happen. Later, Jessie drove us back, but Kevin persistently followed us. I was fed up with his pestering, so I slapped him.” Naomi explained to Shawn, word by word. “I have a clear conscience. These few photos were used to spread such outrageous rumors about me I am falsely accused” 

As long as there are photos, paparazzi can spin all sorts of

numbers. 

After Naomi and Jackson did a photoshoot for Elaine Jewelry’s endorsements, they attracted a wave of fans due to their beauty. She then substituted for Joanna on a variety show, and with good luck and natural charm, she gathered even more fans without makeup, with some fams hoping she would be with Jackson. The two were so beautiful that each of their expressions perfectly matched the other’s, 

Now, with the addition of Kevin, Naomi suddenly became a trending topic. She hadn’t even officially debuted yet, but she was already being praised and criticized 

Shawn pulled her towards the exit, feeling disgusted just looking back at the people in hospital room. 

“Shawn, do you believe me?” Naomi asked, her bare feet cold on the floor, despite it being summer, 

With his tall figure and long legs, she had to jog to keep up with him until they reached a comer where Chandler was alreatly waiting with a bac- “Mr. Fischer, M. Edward” 

Shawn glanced down at Naomi’s feel “Pit on the shoes” 

“Thank you, Mr. Fischer: Naomi accepted the bag, which contained a pair of flat soft leather shoes. “My feet are dirty, let’s go back like this: She didn’t want to soil these obviously expensive shoes. 

“Naomi Shawn’s tone slightly raised with a

of anger. Naomi immediately bent down to put on the shoes, 

Follow me.” Shawn said. 

“Okay, Naomi said. 

Shaven took her straight back to Spring Villa. As soon as she entered, Carla greeted her. “Naomi, I’ve prepared your hath. Go shower first, then come downstairs for dinner? 

“Thank you, Carla” Naomi was truly tired and hungry, to preoccupied to be polite. She quickly showered, changed clothes, and went downstairs to 

Shawn sat at 

– dining table, reading the trending news online. The rumor about Naomi and Kevin had already hit the top of the trending topics 

The images of them together made Shawn feel uncomfortable and irritated. Knowing the truth behind the rumors, he didn’t lash out at Naomi 

“Come here,” said Shawn 

Naomi walked over and sat beside him. Shawn speared a piece of beef with a fork and brought it to her lips. Open up” 

Naomi ate the meat, followed by a piece of fish he offered. 

Shawn liked feeding her, watching her eat seemed to lighten his mood. Naomi wasn’t picky; she ate whatever Shawn fed her with a puffed–up mouth, looking focused and serious. Even with black bread, she managed to make it seem delicious 

“How do you plan to handle the rumors?” Shawn asked after feeding her another piece of fish. 

“I will definitely deny it and then reveal the truth” Naomi replied with her mouth full. “I don’t want to indulge in fake relationships with others, and that Kevin is not a good person. 

Should I have Chandler help you?” Shawn asked. 

Chapter 126 

“No” Naomi shook her head. “I can handle this on my own.” 

Shawn fell silent and soon after, Naomi finished rating. Shawn stopped feeding her and said, “Co rest. When you wake up, go to Elaine Jewelry and find Elsie. It’s time to start shooting the Valentine’s Day promotional ads” 

“Alright,” Naomi replied.

Having eaten her 611 and feeling refreshed Naomi asked, “Mr. Fischer, would you 

Shawn said, “Sure,” 

Shawn couldn’t sleep well without Naomi beside him. Since Oscar didn’t provide him with sleeping pills, he decided to stay awake. 

After they went to sleep, various exaggerated stories about Naomi started circulating online. Some claimed she hard powerful connections, others said she practiced witchcraft, and there were even rumors about her being adept at manipulating people, allegedly being involved with multiple actors, including the A–lister Jackson, who she apparently had wrapped around her finger. 

Roulind took advantage of the situation to defame Naomi further, fabricating scandals between her and Freddy. She even edited intimate photos. of herself and Freddy to make it appear as though they were of Naomi and Freddy, which she then sent to paparazzi. 

As the trending topics about Naomi proliferated online, she was peacefully sleeping in Shawn’s arms. 

Meanwhile, Jessie collected Naomi’s hair in the car. She carefully bagged it, labeling one bag with additional hair samples before putting them together 

Reflecting on the two bags of hair, Jessie pondered for a while before calling Alfred. “Hello, Mr. Edwards, I’ve collected Ms. Edward’s hair 

“Jessic, be careful not to be discovered by Shawn’s people,” Alfred cautioned. “And regarding this matter, don’t les Philip and Duncan, as well as Ivy, know about it 

“Yes, Mr. Edwards, I know what to do,” Jessie assured him. After hanging up. Jessie drove to a private hospital in the north of Atopan City.
