Naomi's heart sank instantly.
Along the journey there, she had given the matter a lot of thought.
It was her misfortune to have such cruel parents. However, if she were to resign herself to fate, she would be responsible for her own undoing.
I am the master of my destiny, not them!
With that, she anxiously waited for Ashlyn and Lucas to rescue her.
As she glanced at her phone intermittently, she finally noticed Ashlyn's reply: Wait for me!
It was then that Naomi began to calm down. Ashlyn will find me. She definitely will.
After all, she had shared her location throughout the journey.
“What are you spacing out for? Get out of the car.” When Livia gave Naomi a shove, the latter shot her a glare. “Stop pushing me! I'll get down myself.”
Just as she spoke, she alighted from the car and stood still in silence.
Hearing the commotion outside, the mansion's butler came out to greet them, “This way, please.”
The Zimmerman family dealt in sanitary wares and got rich doing so.
Nonetheless, Joshua Zimmerman wasn't cultured at all, as he was considered new money.
In fact, he was the richest among the new money and wielded significant power and influence.
Ever since his wife died a few years ago, he endeavored to remarry a young and beautiful girl from a prominent family.
Even though he philandered often, none of the girls he had been with qualified to be his wife.
Moreover, there was no way new money like him could break into the social circles of the old money.
Naomi's heart sank instantly.
Along the journey there, she had given the matter a lot of thought.
After all, no one in their right mind would let their daughter marry an old man like him who was already sixty.
Unfortunately, the Nolans were indeed sick in the head, for they were willing to offer their daughter's hand in marriage in exchange for a three hundred million investment.
Ironically, Naomi didn't expect that she would be worth that much one day.
Upon entering the living room, she saw a coffee table in the center. There was also a TV cabinet and sofa placed neatly in it.
On the sofa sat a middle-aged man with a pot belly, smiling gleefully at her.
From his eyes, one could see how astounded he was by her beauty.
What a gorgeous girl! She has pretty features, a stunning body, and a charming aura, just as expected of a daughter from a prominent family.
“Come, come, please have a seat.” Joshua got to his feet. He was extremely satisfied with Naomi's looks. Furthermore, he was elated over her age, considering how young she was.
Franklin plainly remarked, “Mr. Zimmerman, now that we have brought her, I hope you will keep your end of the bargain and transfer the money.”
