My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 1076

Of course, Naomi did not really want to talk about business with Bennett! It was just out of compassion

that she wanted that poor woman, Frida, to sober up.

There were already so many pitiful people in the world.

Why would she waste her time on people that were not worth it?

Bennett arrived in Rosaville City the next day after the call.

The two of them had agreed to meet in a coffee shop. Bennett had even brought his wife along with

him.

Naomi remembered that his wife was called Joanne!

She looked incredibly demure as she stood behind Bennett like a small animal.

Upon seeing Naomi, the two of them said something to each other. Then, Bennett kissed her on the

cheek before he walked up to Naomi.

Joanne, on the other hand, sat at a smaller table at the corner quietly.

As she thought about it, Bennett came over.

"Miss George, right? Nice to meet you."

Naomi came to her senses and hummed in assent absent-mindedly.

"Mr. Chilton."

Bennett went straight to the point. After he ordered a cup of coffee, he immediately took out the

documents from the briefcase he had brought with him.

"This is the information about our company. Miss George, please have a look."

Naomi took it, but did not open the document.

Bennett thought that Naomi was thinking about how small their company was, therefore he explained,

"Although our company is small, we always strive for perfection in terms of completing projects. We are

confident that we can cooperate with Valiant East to develop better projects..."

Naomi pursed her lips and finally opened her mouth.

"All this money that you've used on the company is all from Frida, am I right?"

Bennett's fingers paused, and the smile on his face froze instantly.

"You..." He opened his mouth and took a deep breath. He asked, "Have you heard those rumors?

We are..." "Frida told me that personally!" Naomi looked into Bennett's eyes.

"She told me that she had a fiance who had been waiting for her for many years!"

Bennett's eyes were filled with panic and avoidance, and his voice became sharp upon hearing

Naomi's words.

"That's just her own wishful thinking. I didn't say that I would wait for her!"

"Then, why did you take her money?" Naomi felt a rush of anger welling up in her chest.

"I..." Bennett was rendered speechless by her question and hurriedly explained, "It's not like that. I

really was going to wait for her, but she made a mistake and I..."

"Oh..." Naomi only felt the irony as she said, "Do you know why she made a mistake?"

Bennett was in a daze.

"She wanted freedom! What kind of job do you think she was doing that could let you build a company

in just a few years time? Everything she did was with her blood, sweat and tears. She was going to

give up her job to be with you. Did you know that? However, she could not leave, therefore she pulled

off one last job. She didn't expect that last job to cost her her life!"

Bennett frowned tightly. He realized that Naomi was not here to discuss business with him. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Therefore, his tone became a little rude.

He said, "So what? I didn't force her to do all that."

Naomi smiled wryly as she retorted, "You didn't force her, but you tied her to an empty promise for your

love. If you told her from the beginning that you would not wait for her, and that you had already gotten

married three years ago, do you think she would still do all that?"

"That's none of your business." Bennett stood up angrily. "I thought Valiant East was a big company. It

turns out that the staff of Valiant East likes to meddle in other people's business. It seems that we have

nothing more to discuss!"

Then, he turned around and walked out.

Joanne, who waited for him, stood up as well.

Upon seeing the scene in front of her, she looked a little worried.

Naomi gritted her teeth and said, "Stop right there! You must go and see her. Do you know that she has

been sentenced to death?"

She failed to bring up the reprieve because she felt that there was no need to make things so clear.

She hoped that Bennett had a conscience, and that he would go and meet Frida!

Bennett froze. Perhaps he had genuinely not been aware about the matters, or perhaps he did not care

what crime Frida had committed at all!

He had never truly cared about her.

"Oh!" He replied faintly. "That's unfortunate. However, I don't have much time. I don't have the time to

visit her."

"Are you really that busy? Or are you afraid that she will affect the reputation of your company?"

Naomi's words hit him right on the nail.

Bennett became angry from embarrassment. He responded, "What on earth do you want me to do?"

"I want you to meet her! Otherwise, I will spread all the rumors about you! For a small company like

yours that has just started out, such news will undoubtedly be a disaster!"

"You..." Bennett gritted his teeth while saying, "Okay, fine! You win, you vicious woman!"

"Vicious? You're far worse than me!" Naomi said.

After that, Bennett walked up to a worried Joanne again. She could vaguely hear Joanne asking

Bennett about the situation.

Bennett's voice was gentle as he said, "It's just a small matter that I need to take care of. You can go

back to the hotel and wait for me there. When I come back, well go home!"

Naomi looked at the scene with contempt. She saw Joanne shake her head, turn around and leave.

Soon, she hailed a taxi and disappeared.

"Let's go!" Bennett said.

It was Naomi's first visit to prison after the incident.

Although only half a month had passed, it seemed like half a lifetime had passed for Naomi.

"What do you want me to say?" Bennett suddenly asked, interrupting Naomi's thoughts.

Naomi came to her senses and said, "Just say..."

She paused. She had initially wanted Bennett to tell Frida everything. That way, Frida would be able to

sober up sooner.

However, as she stood there, her heart inexplicably softened!

She suddenly felt that as a woman, under such circumstances, to know such a truth was too cruel!

"Since you've already lied to her, why don't you lie to her for a bit longer?" she finally said.

"Ridiculous!" Bennett snorted and walked in with the prison guard.

Naomi did not enter. She found a seat at the waiting area outside and sat down.

Nelson was also here. The person who had deceived her was also here.

Just as she thought about that, footsteps could be heard from outside.

"Monique is going to be executed tomorrow, isn't she?"

"That's right! She just applied for a notice and said that she wanted to meet Nelson. I heard that they

used to be lovers."

"Really? Where did you hear that from?"

As the voices drifted further and further away, Naomi felt as if all the blood in her body was going to

freeze over.
