Naomi looked at Francisco.
‘So, he’s a prosecutor?’
He was the one who had helped her last time, and then he helped her again this time.
Francisco looked at Naomi and squinted. He had not recognized her until now. He had come to help
them because it seemed to him that they were in trouble, and now, upon closer inspection, he felt that
the woman in front of him was familiar.
Naomi suddenly remembered something and pulled out $4 out of her purse. “Sir, this is the money for
the coffee last time. Thank you very much.”
Francisco was stunned. His memories
were slowly coining back to him as he said, “Are you the woman from that day?”
Naomi nodded with a smile on her face.
Francisco laughed and rubbed his temples helplessly. He pushed the money back to her and said, “I
think I’ve already told you that you don’t need to give me back the money. Consider it a treat from me.”
“No, you have to take money. I can’t let you treat me for nothing.” Naomi pushed the money back to
Francisco. “Besides, we barely know each other, so I can’t take advantage of you, sir.”
Francisco looked at the $4 in his hand and then at the serious woman in front of him. After a short while,
he took the money and said, “Alright then. If you insist, I’ll take the money.”
After Francisco said something to the
police officer, he went back into his car and drove away. Naomi watched as the car slowly disappeared
from her vision. Suddenly, she approached a police officer and asked,” Could you tell me that man’s
name?” The police officer looked at her and said with a smile, “You want to thank him right? He is
Francisco Boucher, the second heir of the Bouchers.”
Upon mentioning him, the police officer couldn’t help himself and continued. “He used to be a playboy in
Bassburgh. None of us had expected he would turn a new leaf and become a prosecutor all of a
sudden.”
Naomi thanked the police officer and walked back to the car. After Lucy had given her statement, she
patted her chest and sighed. “Luckily, you were here. If not, I don’t know what I should do at all.
Honestly, I’m starting to look at you in a new light.”
“In a new light? What do you mean?” Naomi asked incredulously after she heard what Lucy said.
Smiling, Lucy replied, “I thought you had social fears and were afraid of contact with people, but today
you were really firm when you faced that man alone.” Honestly, if she were to run into a situation like this,
she was that kind of person whose brain would go blank and would not know what to do since she was
on the wrong side.
However, Naomi was different.
Lucy thought of something and asked, “By the way, how did you know so much about cars?”
Not only the car, but she knew the maintenance fee, annual inspection fee, and repair cost clearly.
Besides, the cheapest model of the Land Rover cost about $15,000, and the price would only be higher
for those with better performance. Even the Land Rover at the price point of $ 15,000 was not something
that an ordinary family could afford, let alone a Land Rover that cost about $270,00
Naomi smiled but did not say anything.
This was because her father’s Land Rover cost about $270,000. He used to drive the most expensive
model from Mercedes too, so she was aware of the cost of keeping a car like that.
In fact, it was not that her father couldn’t afford a Bently or a racing car. It was just that he did not think it
was necessary.
In the evening, Naomi saw bags of luxurious goods on the table when she got home. Some of them were
clothes, while the others were bags, cosmetics, supplements, and so on.
She looked at Mrs. Irving and asked, “Who bought these?”
She knew it was not her father since her father was never a person who would spend a lot of money.
Mrs. Irving smiled helplessly and replied.” They are gifts from Mrs. Gosling.” “Give them back to her. I
don’t want them.” Naomi glanced across those luxurious gifts and went upstairs alone. She closed the
door once she was in her room. She pulled the chair and sat in front of the desk. She took her sketches
and pencils out of the drawer and continued to work on her unfinished design with a small desk lamp on.
