Chapter 166

After her chat with Kelly, Naomi shared a meal with her before parting ways. Her first stop was the Edwards Manor, where Wilson had prepared an array of herbs upon hearing of her return. Each herb had a unique name, straight out of an ancient medical text that Wilson had passed down to her. The names were quite distinctive, not matching anything she could find online. Moreover, each ointment required a meticulous special procedure and precise quantities to be completed, If any step was off, the medicine’s effect would be vastly different. This was also why Wilson’s ointments had remained unimitated for so many years.

When Naomi arrived at the Edwards Manor, Wilson was lounging in a chair at the entrance, soaking up the sun and listening to music, with a pot of tea by his side. He’d close his eyes and hum a few bars, then open them to take a sip of sea–a far cry from his old days of wandering

“Mr. Walter, Naomi greeted as she walked in. Wilson lifted his eyelids to glance at her. “You’re back”

“Yep,” she replied. “Mr. Walter, Derek’s recovery is even better than I expected”

“Of course, you should know my skills, Wilson smiled. “Shawn paid me a visit earlier, asking if I’d be interested in cooperating with Fischer Group’s pharmaceutical company. Em old and used to my freedom. I can’t wrap my head around those contracts and clauses, and I don’t want to be tied down. But the terms Shawn offered are quite enticing. Do you want to talk to him!”.

Naomi’s heart skipped a beat, “Mr. Walter, did Shawn really come to you for cooperation? What kind of terms did he offer!”

“It’s about the scar removal ointment! He wants the formula and plans to mass produce it. But as you know, only we know how to make this ointment, I’m not comfortable handing it over to a machine. And with more people involved, who knows what the final effect will be? But the money he’s offering is really substantial Wilson held up eight fingers. Shawn said he’d give me eighty percent, and all I have to do is supervise nothing else! If I weren’t so indifferent to wealth. I’d be tempted”

“Eighty percent, that’s a fortune!” Naomi was secretly shocked. “Mr. Waher, didn’t you say that Shawn’s face was never really scarred! If his face is fine, then why is he willing to pay such a high price to dig you up?”

“Isn’t my reputation worth eighty percent? Although his face is a facade, Derek’s injury and Coco’s face are real, right? Weren’t they cured by you?” Wilson gave her a pointed look. “Just Derek’s injuries alone are a living advertisement, and Coco, no doctor dared to operate on her face for years, but you healed her. Ms. Quin and Derek, plus Shawn’s face, do you think Shawn would suffer a loss? No matter if Shawn’s face was really injured, he did appear in public with that appearance after the accident. Even if he wasn’t cured by the ointment, he’d still claim it was

Wilson tapped Naomi’s head. “Shawn trusts you and trusts me, so he dares to make such a bold move

“By the way. I’ve noticed that Shawn’s sleep quality isn’t good. When you get a chance, make him a calming herbal bag. Go to the backyard and pick the herbs yourself With that, Wilson started humming and singing again

Naomi rose and headed to the backyard. After gathering several types of calming herbs, she proceeded to the basement. The effects of dried versus fresh herbs vary, so the carefully selected a blend, crafted a dark gray lierbal bag, and embroidered a small “Shawn” on it with silk thread. Once finished, she bid farewell to Wilson and left the Edwards Manor, returning to the Spring Villa

Carla was momentarily stunned to see her, then overjoyed “Naomi, you’re barkt 11 inform Mr. Fischer right away” Before Naomi could respond. Carla rushed upstairs, calling out. “Mr. Fischer, Naomi is home”

“Carla. I’m a bit hungry. Is there anything to eat!” Naomi asked as she followed upstairs. “I’ll go see Mr. Fischer,”

“Okay, okay, okay,” Carla was so thrilled her eyes glistened, and she hurried downstairs to prepare a meal

Naomi knocked on the door and, upon bearing a response, pushed it open.

Shawn sat behind the desk, a stack of photos before him. At that moment, he looked stern, his piercing gaze fixed on Naomi as she entered.

Naomi’s heart fluttered, Whenever Shawn looked at her like that, it meant he knew about something she’d done wrong.

“Mr. Fischer.” Naomi stepped forward, speaking before Shawn could reprimand her. “I made you a sleep aid hag. It’s for you!

A dark–gray small medicine bag with a medicinal scent appeared before Shawn in the next instant, a tiny “Shawn” embroidered on it. Shawn’s piercing eyes softened imperceptibly.

Naomi also saw the photos on the table, and her eyes suddenly widened in shock. Those were the flirtatious moments she had with Shawn in Yeonland, which were secretly captured by Jessie, and even the ones Naomi willingly sent to Jessie herself. How could they all be here with Shawn?! she thought.

In a short time, a layer of cold sweat appeared on the back of Naomi’s body. How should she explain this?

“Naomi, don’t you have anything to say?” Shawn’s eyes, as dark as ink, stared straight at her, “Colluding with Jessie to plat against me, you really are something

Naomi immediately shook her head. “Mr. Fischer, I didn’t plot against you. Uh.. I wanted to tell you directly, but I was afraid you wouldn’t cooperate, thinking I was betraying you, so I took the initiative and reported later. Naomi bit her lip, her eyes slightly red with fear and anxiety,

She took a deep breath, trying to meady herself. “Mr. Fischer, when I was in Yennland, somente puudjievor si a to plot against you and drug you. hoping you would sleep with me.

Naomi obediently complied, and they fell back into their familiar dynamic as if she had never left the Spring Villa over the past month.
