They haven’t reached this level yet!
“You’ve spent your money. Come and pay!”
The manager pointed to Franklin and Eleanor.
They trembled with fear, wanting to shout, “No, don’t come here. We have no money!
But some security guards in black came and pulled them away.
Franklin and Eleanor had no idea where they were being dragged. They kept begging for mercy: “Manager, please let us go.”
The manager of The Broadview Hotel stepped forward, saying, “The person you should be looking for is not me. Someone wants to see you.”
Who?
At this time, the manager pushed open the door of a room. Franklin and Eleanor were pushed in. They looked up and saw a slim figure standing by the French window in front.
Oriana!
Franklin and Eleanor were both stunned, not expecting to see Oriana here!
The beautiful Oriana stood in front of the French window. She turned, her bright eyes looking at them, then she pursed her red lips slightly. “Here you are. I’ve been waiting here for so long.
Franklin and Eleanor looked at each other confused. They mumbled, “Miss… Miss Hendrix, what are you waiting for us? What do you want?”
“We have nothing right now. Don’t make it hard for us. We are just rural people. Please let us go home.”
Franklin and Eleanor thought it was better to he in the countryside, so they wanted to go home.
Oriana looked at them, her clear eyes shining. She said, “Don’t be afraid. I have no malice. I just have a few questions to ask you.”
Ask some questions?
“Okay, Miss Hendrix. Please ask. We promise to tell you everything we know!”
Oriana nodded. “Actually, I just wanted to talk with you about your daughter’s growing up. Naomi.”
What?
Franklin and Eleanor didn’t know why Oriana wanted to talk about this, but they couldn’t help but say what they had to say: “Naomi is our daughter. So far she has been very obedient and understanding. Anyway, she is going to marry a man in the future so we always hope she can marry a rich man, but she has a good academic record and gets enthusiastic help from a good person in the big city when she was very young and she went to school all the way.”
Sadie brought the chair. Oriana sat down. She quickly heard it, raised her eyebrows and asked: “A good person in the big city?”
“That’s right, we don’t know who that good person in the big city is because Naomi never told us about this. We’re not allowed to talk about it either.”
“I remember one year, that good person from that big city took Naomi to live there for a few days.”
Oriana curled her red lips. She guessed that the good person in this big city was Aunt Bounty.
Aunt Bounty started helping poor children in the mountains many years ago. That year, on her birthday, she took Naomi hack to Imperial and into the Armstead family’s house. Only then did a series of things happen.
“Then what happened?”
Oriana asked.
“Later Naomi grew up and went to the big city by herself. She barely contacted us. When we called her, she didn’t want to say anything, but she would send us money often.”
Oriana listened attentively, asking again: “Is that so… So do you see anything unusual about her? Or is there something different about her?”
About that?
Franklin and Eleanor quickly glanced at each other. They all thought of Naomi’s cold, viper-like appearance just now.
“Well…”
They said hesitantly.
“Don’t you want to talk? Forget it. I was originally going to beg Mr. Armstead for you. Anyway you’ve spent so much money, this is really just a bottomless pit. Naol probably doesn’t have that much money, does she?”
Oriana blinked innocently, looking pitifully at them.”
Franklin and Eleanor’s eyes lit up when they heard that. In their eyes there is no daughter, as long as their life is better. Eleanor said, “I will tell you. I will tell you… Naomi used to be cute and weak, but just now she seemed like a different person. She was cold and cruel. She even broke my arm.’ “Actually, if you think about it carefully, Naomi is quite strange. Once upon a time, in the mountains, there was a dog next door that often barked at night. She felt uncomfortable. The next day, the dog died, and it was a terrible death. It was stabbed to death with a knife.”
Oriana nodded, fully understanding that this Naomi was fake, and that the real Naomi could have been dead long ago.
However, she has a doubt. Based on her age, Naomi is definitely not just 20 years old.
When Naomi and Aunt Bounty entered the Imperial, Deacon was not yet born. This year Deacon is over thirty years old, how can Naomi be only 20 years old?
“I have one last question. How old is she this year?”
Oriana’s shining eyes looked at Franklin and Eleanor.
“Well…”
Franklin and Eleanor were stunned, quickly snickering. “Miss Hendrix, since we’ve said it all, we won’t hide her age from you. We lied about her age. In fact, Naomi is… a little over thirty.”
“This idea was not invented by us, but Naomi came up with it herself. Speaking of which, she has grown up backwards, she looks like a young girl at first glance. It doesn’t matter if she pretends to be 20 years old. We think the younger a girl is, the more valuable she is, so, hehe, we listened to her…”
Oriana understood. It’s not surprising that Naomi grew up as the princess of the mermaids, but she’s an aunt in her thirties pretending to be a 20-year-old. Should she shed tears?
Naomi’s age can be faked, but she can’t hide it from Aunt Bounty. Once Aunt Bounty meets her, everything will be ruined.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Bounty also flew to Greenland, so Naomi weighed all considerations and let Molly poison her.
This way, everything is clear at a glance.
“Okay, thank you. I’ve heard what I wanted to hear. You can go.”
The security guard in black came in and dragged Franklin and Eleanor away.
“Miss… Miss Hendrix, don’t forget what you said just now. You’ll beg Mr. Armstead for us. Don’t forget…”
The couple’s voices gradually softened.
The room became quiet. Sadie went to Oriana’s side, saying, “Princess, Naomi seems to be the princess of the mermaids!”
Oriana nodded, “Yes, the mermaid princess was here before Deacon and I were born.”
“So should we arrest Naomi immediately?”
Sadie asked.
Oriana looked at Sadie, replying, “What do you think Mr. Armstead will do if we arrest her?”
Sadie stopped.
Oriana went to the French window, “Although there is nothing between Mr. Armstead and Naomi, I know that she is a very special existence for him. There is a story between them. It’s just.. I don’t know what that story is and Mr. Armstead doesn’t want to tell me either.”
“Princess, what should we do? We can’t let her go because of Mr. Armstead, can we?”
Sadie asked. She really didn’t know why Deacon was in such a frenzy. Why did he get involved with Naomi?
Oriana looked at the blue sky with white clouds outside the floor-to-ceiling window, trembling and said, “I promised to give him time, but now the time has come. I can’t wait any longer. Now I will personally reveal the secret between him and Naomi!”
Sadie’s eyes lit up. She looked at Oriana, who was shining brightly in front of her. This is her princess!
“But princess, Mr. Armstead doesn’t want to tell the story between him and Naomi, how can we uncover the secret?”
She asked.
Oriana turned around, her eyes clear and bright, and she slowly lifted her red lips, “Then don’t ask him, just ask his confidant.”
Sadie: “Princess, you mean… Peterson?”
Oriana nodded: “Yes, it’s him.”
Peterson didn’t know why, nor did he know the danger was approaching, he just sneezed. It was strange. Why did he feel that someone was targeting him?
Peterson arrived and was found by Sadie. They were walking in the hallway when Peterson asked, “Sadie, is Miss Hendrix looking for me?”
“That’s right. Our princess is looking for you.”
“Why is Miss Hendrix looking for me? My boss has h ooked a hotel and is waiting to have dinner with her.”
Sadie pushed open the door, solemnly said: “Then your boss won’t meet her. She already knows it all.”
What does she mean?
What does she know?
Peterson’s eyelids twitched. He hesitantly entered the room, only to see Oriana standing by the desk, her beautiful little face as cold as ice, as if she was losing her temper.
“Miss. Miss Hendrix, are you looking for me?”
Peterson asked. He had a bad premonition.
Oriana raised her eyes and snorted coldly: “Peterson, let me ask you what is your boss’s relationship with Naomi?”
“What’s wrong? It’s nothing!”
He said quickly.
