Alfred said, “Mr. Fischer, this way please.”

Alfred ignored his family and looked at Naomi guiltily. “Naomi, I’m sorry.

Naomi pursed her lips and subconsciously held Shawn’s arm tightly.

She didn’t cause trouble and she was not a pushover either.

Alfred’s attitude towards her was inexplicably strange. She asked Jessie tentatively, and Jessie told her that Alfred had no feelings for her and really treated her as his sister.

When the time came, Alfred would tell her himself.

Naomi was not stupid. She got another meaning from Jessie’s words, and she also had a bold guess in her heart, but the attitude of the Edwards family at that moment made her feel less about family affection.

Naomi stared at Lesley and Rodney, and then saw Ivy hugging Lesley and being comforted carefully. She suddenly found it an eyesore.

She lowered her head. “Shawn, let’s go!”

“Okay,” said Shawn.

Shawn took her to the other side. Although some people looked at them curiously, they didn’t dare to pay too much attention.

Shawn took her to another man and said, “This is Caden Lewis, the CEO of Lewis Technologies.”

Caden Lewis raised his glass. “Ms. Edwards, I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Naomi hurriedly raised her glass. “Hello, Mr. Lewis.”

Caden smiled, “Congratulations, Shawn. You finally got a girlfriend.

“We had an agreement that if one of us had a girlfriend first, he would show up in front of everyone with his girlfriend wearing a black wedding dress.

“Most girls don’t want to wear black wedding dresses, especially on non–wedding occasions. Shawn is so lucky to meet you, Ms. Edwards.”

Naomi looked at Shawn, and Shawn’s expression remained unchanged. “Don’t listen to him.”

“Shawn, girls should be treated sincerely.” Caden was still smiling. His sharp eyebrows and charming eyes seemed to be filled with affection, but at a closer look, the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

“Shawn, don’t be stubborn when you should be honest. Otherwise, you will regret it later,” said Caden.

Shawn turned around and left with Naomi.

Caden’s voice came from behind. “Shawn, you are so rude. Be careful that Ms. Edwards leaves you.”

Naomi looked at Shawn curiously. Shawn had a bad temper, but no matter what Caden said, he didn’t seem to be except for not talking.

angry

Shawn lowered his voice. “Lewis Technologies is not very famous. Caden is also very low–key, but he has a lot of money.

Naomi nodded. ‘I see, so it’s not you who found me, but Jessie who recognized me and found me, right?”

Alfred nødded again. “Yes, but Jessie has been working for me for so many years because she knows my obsession.

30%

“Besides, since we adopted Ivy, our parents have given up on looking for you. If we continued searching, they would be unhappy, so I’ve always done it secretly.

*Alfred, you shouldn’t have told me,” said Naomi.

Naomi’s eyes turned red. She wanted to force a smile, but it was worse than crying. “You shouldn’t have come to me or told me. I didn’t expect anything from you.

“When I was suffering in the Edwards family, you were doting on another girl.

“Huh… How ironic.

“I even feel sick now. The cooperation with Edwards Group is over!

“I will let Enzo contact you. I won’t compensate you, and you don’t need to compensate me. That’s it!”

With that, Naomi turned around and left. Alfred hurriedly caught up with her, stretched out his hand to hold her, and then hesitated for a second before carefully hugging her.

Alfred said, “Naomi, Naomi, I’m sorry.

“Don’t end the cooperation. Just take it as if I was farting just now, and pretend that I didn’t say anything. Please don’t hate me, okay?”

Alfred regretted it. He should have listened to Jessie and didn’t say it out so quickly.

“Let her go.” A cold and deep voice sounded. Shawn strode over, grabbed Alfred, and punched him hard in the face.

“Chop his hand off,” Shawn ordered.

The bodyguard in black stepped forward and quickly pulled Alfred. He pressed Alfred’s hand on the store table with a slap, and the next second the knife was about to fall.

“Wait,” Naomi shouted rationally. “Shawn, it’s not worth it.”

She hugged Shawn’s hand. “It’s not worth it.”

Shawn said angrily, “I won’t let you be touched by other men.”

Naomi’s eyes turned red. She stood on tiptoe and whispered to Shawn, “Alfred said he was my biological brother.”

After a pause, she slowly added, “He did the paternity test.

“Shawn, can you stay with me?”

Her voice choked. “I’m so sad.”

All of a sudden, Shawn suppressed all his anger. He held Naomi’s hand with his big hands. Their fingers were intertwined. I’ll leave with you.”

“Okay,” said Naomi.

Shawn left with Naomi. “Let him go.”

“Yes, sir.” The bodyguard let go of Alfred and followed Shawn.

Alfred stared at their backs with red eyes and regretted it.

Jessie walked forward, but she didn’t say anything. She just pulled Alfred away and left Emerald Mansion.

“Lily, do you want to go with us?” asked Jessie.

Lily nodded hurriedly. She didn’t ask anything and kept silent all the way.

Jessie said, “If you want to tell Philip, just tell him!”

Lily shook her head immediately. “Jessie, I’m not a nosy person.”

Jessie smiled, “Remember to tell me if you don’t work for Philip in the future.”

“Okay,” said Lily.

Lily hesitated for a moment and said cautiously, “I don’t want to work for Philip now. I want to be an assistant to Miah. Jessie, can you help me?”

Jessie stared at her for a while, but Lily was still calm. She didn’t compete for anything when she worked for Philip and did her job well. She didn’t care about anything else.

Lily was not jealous. She worked for Philip just for the salary. For the job she didn’t like, she had no passion at all.

“If Philip knew you had this idea, he would be sad,” said Jessie.

“He won’t,” Lily replied without hesitation. “Jessie, Philip and I are different from

Jessie smiled, “What is the difference?”

Lily didn’t say anything.

you and Alfred.”

Jessie said, “As for the matter that Mr. Edwards hugged Naomi, and I have to go back to deal with it later. I don’t know if there were any people taking photos at the scene. If they did, it would be bad when the photos spread out.”

Jessie pinched her eyebrows. “I have said that Shawn would not hold a welcome banquet with such kindness.

“But Philip didn’t listen to me and insisted on bringing Ivy here.”

Lily bit her lower lip and said, “I don’t like Ivy either, so I want to leave Philip.”

“Alright. I’ll let you go to Miah,” said Jessie.

Lily said, “Okay, thank you, Jessie.”

Alfred seemed to have lost his soul. He just leaned against the car window and looked outside, feeling that his heart was empty.

Naomi didn’t recognize him or his family.

She even hated them.

Alfred said, “Jessie, you were right. I shouldn’t have been impulsive.

“But I’m afraid that Naomi will misunderstand me.

“My parents‘ attitude and words at that time must have broken her heart.

“Ivy means nothing to me. It’s okay to spoil her at ho
