“Take it easy,” said Emmanuel.
He glanced at the door and the bathroom, then calmly walked toward the bathroom.
His facial features were handsome and his skin was slightly tanned. He had a pair of hazel eyes that made him look like he was always plotting something. Nevertheless, his gaze was usually calm, and he would look at people without warmth in his eyes.
Looking at his casual attitude, Naomi somehow felt that he and Tabitha looked slightly similar to each other.
However, the terrifying illusion was so unbelievable that Naomi quickly suppressed her bewilderment and went to open the door.
Saul stood outside and said politely, “Ms. Boyle, Mr. Sinclair asked me to pick you up.”
“Thank you,” she replied.
As Naomi and Saul walked out of the hotel, they noticed that Tabitha and Chadwick were there as well.
Tabitha and Chadwick had just finished dealing with the final group of reporters. At last, the commotion that appeared as a result of what had happened in the swimming pool was over.
Only then did Chadwick find his chance to slyly ask Tabitha, “Why were you so sure that there are cameras in the swimming pool area?”
Normally, hotels were not allowed to install cameras in places like
swimming pools. Naomi guessed the same, which was the reason why she dared to be so arrogant.

Tabitha blinked at him. There was a hint of a smile at the corner of her eyes. “I was… not sure.”
Nevertheless, she knew that Naomi did not dare to bet. If there were cameras, her good image in Malcolm’s mind would be ruined.
Chadwick saw through her thoughts but pretended to be stunned. “But just
now, you-”
Saul went to take the car, while Naomi quietly leaned over to hear what. they were talking about.
Tabitha had noticed Naomi’s presence for a while and deliberately raised her voice. “If I didn’t say so, how could I fool Naomi?”
Chadwick reacted briefly and smiled. “You’re the best.”
Naomi, who stood at the side, clearly heard what they said and glowered with rage.
Unfortunately, Saul was not there at the moment. No one would be able to testify on her behalf.
She cried out indignantly, “So you were tricking me! I’m going to tell Malcolm.”
“Indeed, Malcolm really shouldn’t be kept in the dark. Go ahead and tell him, Ms. Boyle,” Tabitha mocked disdainfully. She added, “Do you want me to call him over here?”
Naomi was left so speechless that her face turned pale. Even her expression looked very interesting.
‘I don’t even dare to tell him, she mused to herself.
After all, she had insisted that Tabitha was framed just now. Thus, she could not overturn her own words.

Moreover, Naomi was so angry that she wanted to curse. She did not expect Chadwick to trick her.
‘He’s a handsome man who looks so gentle and elegant. Tabitha must be a bad influence on him!‘ she exclaimed inwardly.
At this moment, Saul drove over and politely asked her to get in.
Suppressing her anger, Naomi glared at them and got into the car.
Tabitha felt happy when she saw that Naomi was humiliated, and felt like most of the injuries on her back had healed.
Chadwick could not help touching her head and said in a low voice, “I will help you get revenge if anyone bullies you in the future.”
When Tabitha heard him, she beamed. “You’re so kind, Chadwick.”
All of a sudden, a drizzle came down from the sky and the temperature dropped by several degrees.
Seeing that Tabitha was dressed inadequately, Chadwick said, “It’s too cold outside. Let’s go in first.”
“No, I’m not going in.” Tabitha did not want to see Malcolm’s suspicious. gaze anymore. Moreover, the fresh flowers inside also made her
uncomfortable. “I want to go home,” she added.
After all, she had shown up there with Malcolm. As the task was completed, she would be able to explain it to Alaric..
Chadwick said, “Good timing–I just so happen to have finished my work. as well. Let me take you home.”
Tabitha nodded and did not refuse.

The weather was getting colder. When Malcolm returned from the gala to the Sinclair residence, he noticed that the living room was dark, and frowned as he was not used to it.
In the past, Tabitha used to switch on a warm yellow light for him not matter how late he came back.
George heard the sound of the car engine being turned off and got up to turn on the lights in the living room.
He was astonished to see Malcolm standing in the doorway, looking sullen.
