Chapter 15
Heather remarked, "Chloe is cozying up to Brendan for money. It she wants money, we'll give it to her.
"So, Naomi, take this check to her, and have her leave Ashburgh with her mother and brother. Otherwise, she won't get even a penny from Brendan."
Upon seeing the check of 20 million dollars from Heather, Naomi couldn't help but find the situation both amining and bewildering Heather, who was usually a smart person, seemed a bit confused right now.
Mom, if I do this with Chloe, I'm just putting myself in a difficult situation. She won't take the money, and she won't leave Ashbergh."
If she were to really take this check to Chloe, it would only accelerate her divorce with Brendan. She hadn't even become pregnant yet!
Heather insisted and said, "Naomi, trust me on this, It can't
"Take the check to Chloe first, and I'll meet her afterward. She won't be able to resist, since she needs the money to support her mother and brother." Naomi hesitated and said, "Moin, this Heather interrupted and remarked, "Naomi, you're too honest. Chloe is cralty. You can't outsmart her."
Sering Heather's strong emotions, Naomi chose not to argue with her.
She couldn't outsmart Chloe, not because of her inability to do it but because Brendan's heart wasn't with her.
The more she intervened, the worse things would turn out, like a referee with a blased heart.
"Naomi," Heather called out her name again.
Naomi snapped back to reality and took the check "Fine, I'll go and meet her."
With Heather being so insistent, Naomi had no choice but to go along with it. Otherwise, things would become more complicated if she were to let Heather take action first.
It would be bad for both her and the Ludwig family's reputation if the situation worsened.
Taking Heather's check with her, Naomi met with Chloe the next day, In the cafe, she didn't say much to Chloe, only asking her to take the money and leave with her mother and brother.
Chloe was pale, but she remained quiet.
However, by noon, Jason called Naomi and said, "Ms. Goodwin, Mr. Ludwig wants you to come to the office in the afternoon."
After the call, Naomi couldn't help but smile wryly. She knew why Brendan wanted to see her.
After half an hour, she entered Brendan's office. As expected, Chloe was standing next to him, looking upset With a serious expression, Brendan tossed the check at Naomi. "Did you give her this in the morning?"
Seeming like a victim, Chloe tried to explain, "Naomi, you seem to have misunderstood. It's not what you think. There's nothing going on between Brendan and me
Ignoring Chloe, Naomi casually pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Brendan. She teased, "What's the matter? Your mistress isn't satisfied? She continued, "How about you give me 20 million dollars instead? I'll have someone draft the divorce agreement, and I'll agree to it."

Chlor was surprised and whispered, "Naomi, it's just 20 million dollars."
As the daughter of the Goodwin family, Naomi wouldn't divorce Brendan for such a small amount.
Finally, Naomi looked at Chloe and said with a faint smile, "You're really devoted to him. This is just what I value him at Recalling that night at Yellowind Bay, she thought of how he would rather go to the bathroom to deal with it that touch her. He had even be with Chlor
