Chapter 171

Upon seeing Henry and Madelyn walk toward them, Ronald rolled his eyes. Meanwhile, Bailey stuck her hands into her pockets and stood guard in front of Naomi.
"What a coincidence. Are you here for a meeting as well, Henry?" Ronald asked cheekily.
Henry smiled politely. "Yes, Ronald. You're quite free, aren't you?"
He glanced at Naomi and Bailey before continuing, "Aren't you scared that you'll lose your income if you keep wasting your time like this?"
Henry was trying to provoke him by hinting that Ronald had no real power in the Ludwig Corporation.
Ronald responded, "Don't worry, no matter what happens to me, Naomi will provide for me. I don't need to plot against my brother and father like you did."Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Henry's face darkened when he heard Ronald's words. However, he recovered his usual polite composure quickly.
He walked around and raised his hand to tidy Ronald's clothes. He smiled and said, "Ronald, I hope you always remain this carefree."
Ronald responded, "Don't worry, Henry, I will."
Upon seeing her brother get mocked, Madelyn said with fury, "Ronald, you and Brendan don't share a mother. You're going to suffer a horrible end."
Ronald said, "As long as I'm not buried in your ancestral grave, I don't need you to worry about me."
Ronald had no filter. After Henry conversed shortly with him, he looked at Naomi and said, "You've resorted to some brutal methods."
Henry didn't make it clear. However, Naomi knew that he was referring to what happened to Gwendolyn.
He thought that it was her doing.
Naomi didn't deny it. She smiled and said, "When it comes to things like these, we are not too different from each other."
He criticized her for resorting to such acts. He seemingly forgot how he treated Lily, not to mention they were once friends.
Henry's gaze darkened. He hadn't expected her to have gotten wind of what happened to Lily.
However, it made sense as well, Naomi was a lawyer.
Henry stared at her while Naomi asked smilingly, "You laid a heavy hand on her. Aren't you scared of the scared day that Lily gets the upper hand?"
Henry pushed his glasses and asked, "If you're not scared, why should I be scared, Naomi?"
Ever since taking up the South Glistenville project, their stock prices plummeted. However, he managed Chapter 1711
to keep their funds running. Yesterday, he even snatched two projects from Ludwig Corporation.

Just as Naomi was about to interfere, Dennis stopped her. He said that some things couldn't be reversed, and they should avoid engaging in constant conflict, which benefited no one.
Naomi's nonchalance angered Madelyn, who said, "Henry, let's not waste time with people like her. Stop paying attention to her."
She continued by threatening, "Naomi Goodwin, don't be too confident. I'm telling you now, Brendan will never fall in love with a woman like you..
"You can't even bear a child for him. I'll get him back someday, sooner rather than later. You just wait to be kicked out of his house."
Naomi and Brendan had been married for more than two years, Even if Brendan's parents wanted to protect her, they wouldn't like a t daughter-in-law who couldn't give them grandchildren.
After a few months, it would be their third marriage anniversary. If Naomi didn't show any signs of getting pregnant, her position as Mrs. Ludwig would hang in the balance.
Naomi smiled generously. "Alright, I'll sit and wait for you to take him from me."
Ronald was vastly entertained. If Madelyn wanted to have Brendan, he would thank her in the name of all of their ancestors.
If Madelyn wanted to fight with Brendan and receive silent treatment from him, good for her. Naomi wouldn't need to receive this kind of treatment anymore. Naomi smiled after she finished speaking. At this moment, Henry's phone started ringing. After he finished his call, he said goodbye to Naomi and left with Madelyn.
Ronald looked back at the siblings with both hands in his pocket. He m
pursed his lips and said, "What a pair, even saying that she would take Brendan from you. One day, I'll pack him up and send him to her."
Bailey added, "I'll help you with that."
In the next two days, Brendan was constantly in meetings.
When Naomi wasn't following Michael around, she was attending to her case files and was extremely busy. Thus, Ronald and Bailey returned to the city before her.
Instead, Naomi went back to the city with her colleagues on Monday afternoon.
"Naomi, you're back!" Just as she stepped into the house, Heather welcomed her excitedly.
