Tabitha emerged from her shower, leisurely blow–drying her hair. It was already past nine o’clock in the

evening when she picked up her phone and dialed Emmanuel’s number.

“Emmanuel, I just saw your message. Where are you?” she inquired.

“I’m outside the Universal Theater. Has the recital ended?” Emmanuel quickly responded.

Tabitha’s expression turned icy, but her tone carried a hint of sorrow. “You didn’t come, so I lost interest

and only watched Mr. Goya’s performance. After that, I went straight home.”

When Emmanuel heard that, his heart skipped a beat.

Tabitha said that she had lost interest in the recital because I didn’t show

1. up.

“What does she mean by that? Could it be that she genuinely has some feelings for me?‘ he wondered.

Emmanuel, who was normally calm and adept at controlling his emotions, was suddenly overwhelmed

by an uncontrollable surge of emotions. He piped up cautiously, “I’m sorry. It was not my intention to

stand you up.”

“It’s okay. I’m not someone important to you anyway. I just finished showering and feel a bit tired. I’m

going to rest now.” Tabitha’s gaze was icy, but her voice carried a subtle trace of bitterness.

“All right. Get some rest. Good night.” Emmanuel’s tone was light, exuding tenderness and a deep, but

unspoken, desire.

Tabitha replied, “Good night.”

Tabitha hung up the phone and walked to the window, gazing at the vast

It had been raining for the past few days, but it finally cleared up that day. As the moon shone brightly,

a glint of coldness flashed through Tabitha’s

eyes.

Tabitha stood there until her limbs became stiff. Then, she lay down on the bed, sighed, and gradually

fell asleep. novelbin

The next day, when Naomi woke up, she saw the two housekeepers had already packed their things

and were ready to leave. Her face immediately darkened.

After the housekeepers left, Naomi sat motionless on the balcony, looking at the vibrant and beautiful

flowers. Her mood remained unsettled for a long time.

She didn’t like this house when she first moved in because she believed that once Malcolm and Tabitha

divorced, she would be able to move into the Sinclair residence in the wealthy district and become the

enviable lady of a prominent family.

Everything was going smoothly.

If Tabitha had not persisted in her pursuit of Malcolm, Naomi’s deception would not have been exposed

in front of him, sparking an investigation.

Not only did Malcolm despise her now, but Emmanuel also wanted her to leave Xosa. Even worse,

Giuseppe also wanted her dead.

‘It’s entirely Tabitha’s fault that I ended up in this situation!‘ she exclaimed inwardly.

Naomi reasoned that since Tabitha had caused her to lose everything and endure such hardships, she

should not be blamed if she took ruthless and decisive action against her.

After ordering Saul to dismiss the housekeepers, Malcolm called Naomi and asked, “Have you figured

out an answer?”

“Give me one more day. You agreed to give me three days previously, and today is only the second

day.” Naomi pretended to panic.

Malcolm frowned, his tone devoid of any emotion. “I want to see the evidence by tomorrow morning.”

“Okay. Malcolm, even if I tell you that I lied to you because I wanted to marry you, you will never forgive

me, right?” Naomi asked cautiously.

‘Forgive?‘ Malcolm thought, and his gaze suddenly turned icy.

Ever since he found out the truth, he had been constantly pondering how to make Naomi pay for

endangering his and Tabitha’s child.

“In order to frame Tabitha, you even hurt your own child. At that very moment, my gratitude and

affection for you had vanished.” With that said, Malcolm hung up the phone.

Listening to the monotonous beeping sound on the other end of the phone, Naomi couldn’t conceal her

hatred anymore. She immediately called Giuseppe. “Mr. Koopman, I have something urgent to discuss

with you. Let’s meet at Honey Café at half past ten in the morning.”

Dressed in her prettiest skirt and with delicate makeup, Naomi left the house.

Ever since the incident where he failed to kill Tabitha, Giuseppe had refrained from making any rash

moves because two separate groups were investigating him.

Initially, he was reluctant to heed Naomi’s call, but he suddenly thought that Naomi might have

concocted another sinister plan. Perhaps he could listen in and have a good time.

He came a little later than the scheduled time, but he still waited for more than ten minutes before

Naomi arrived.

Giuseppe secretly cursed her for acting like she was back in college, where she would arrive late

casually.

When he saw Naomi, he immediately began berating her, saying, “Who the hell do you think you are?

You were the one who invited me, and yet. you dare to be late? Do you have a death wish?”

Naomi calmly sat down and smiled ingratiatingly. “Mr. Koopman, don’t be angry. There was a traffic jam

on the way. It caused me to be delayed for a few minutes.”

The moment Giuseppe heard her deliberately softened voice, his anger simmered down a bit. When he

glanced at her face, done up alluringly, he found her appearance quite eye–catching.

Suppressing his temper, he asked, “So, what’s the matter?”

“Mr. Koopman, whatever mess we had between us was our own affair. Eight years ago, someone had

already confessed and gone to jail for that case. It was Tabitha’s continuous entanglement that forced

us to flee the country.” Naomi started.

Giuseppe remembered that eight years ago, due to Tabitha’s refusal to settle, he was nearly beaten to

death by Reuben and was bedridden for weeks. Later, Reuben spent a fortune to settle the case with

Cornelius. Subsequently, Giuseppe was sent abroad to study, and, to ensure Naomi wasn’t found out,

she was sent abroad too.

Originally, they thought it would be enough to hide for a few months. Nobody expected Tabitha to be so

adamant about the issue. Giuseppe’s time in hiding was extended because Reuben was a righteous

man and refused to deal with Tabitha illegally.

Giuseppe reasoned that if it had not been for his extended stay abroad, the

inheritance he received upon Reuben’s death would have been much larger.

Giuseppe’s eyes flashed with hatred. “What do you want?”

“Mr. Koopman, I know you have something in your possession. Even the most resolute person would

succumb to its effects. Give me a bit of it, and I’ll send Tabitha straight to hell for you, exacting revenge

for you,” Naomi replied.

Hearing that, Giuseppe burst into laughter, and a hint of disdain flickered across his eyes. “Enough with

the sugarcoating. You only want vengeance for yourself.”

“Anyway, only by destroying Tabitha can we have a good life. I heard she hired a powerful investigator

to look into the events eight years ago. If she discovers evidence, I’ll go to jail, and you won’t be able to

escape either.” Naomi narrowed her eyes, and a terrifying glint flashed across them.

Giuseppe knew that Naomi was right.

Since all Naomi did was ignore the victim, her crime was not as serious. Meanwhile, his crime was

hiring someone to commit murder. If the case was looked into, his punishment would be far harsher.

Furthermore, with Reuben no longer alive, there would be no one in the family to protect

him.

“All right, wait a moment,” Giuseppe said before making a call.

About 20 minutes later, a scrawny figure walked in. He handed Giuseppe a yellow envelope before

swiftly leaving.

Giuseppe opened the envelope and glanced inside. He then smirked wickedly at Naomi. “Listen

carefully. I have nothing to do with whatever you are about to do. If something goes wrong later and

you dare to bring up my name in the hopes of bringing me down, I will make you suffer a fate so bad

that you will wish you had been sent to prison instead.”

Tabitha was the lady of the Sinclair family, and Giuseppe had already experienced the Sinclair family’s

cruelty firsthand after being caught orchestrating the car accident. He would not have dared to do

anything to harm Tabitha if Naomi had not suggested it first.

He secretly vowed to kill Naomi if she dared to sell him out.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Koopman. It was all my idea, and my idea alone,” Naomi reassured him.

Naomi eagerly took the envelope and examined its contents. The next moment, a sinister gleam

flashed in her eyes.

Tabitha, do you think you are pure and innocent? Tonight, I’ll show you what it feels like to be in hell!‘

she exclaimed inwardly.
