Tabitha smiled sarcastically. “Why? Are you guilty?”
Naomi’s eyes flashed, and her heart trembled with panic. However, she pretended to be tough. “I just
don’t think it is appropriate to install a surveillance camera near the swimming pool. It is easy to invade
the privacy of guests.”
“There was a theft in the hotel,” Chadwick explained. “After all, the guests in the hotel are from famous
families. For the safety of customers‘ property, we installed pinhole cameras.”
Naomi didn’t dare to say anything.
Seeing her shut up, Chadwick said gently, “Mr. Sinclair, I’ll arrange for the waiter to take you to change
into clean clothes first, and then we can check the surveillance camera footage together.”
Before he nodded, Naomi had already hurried to speak, “There’s no need to trouble you. In fact, it was
because my finger size did not match the ring. that the ring fell off. It had nothing to do with Ms. Jarvis.
Malcolm, you had misunderstood Ms. Jarvis.”
Malcolm frowned and gave Naomi a complicated look.
Tabitha and Chadwick were waiting for them to make a statement, but Naomi seemed very reluctant to
look at the footage.
The atmosphere was a little stiff.
The reporter, who had been stopped outside, was getting agitated and recognized Malcolm.
He recognized Malcolm to be the young and promising upstart who often appeared on the cover of
magazines. ‘Why did he look so disheveled?‘ he wondered.

There must be something going on.
The reporter wanted to take a shot.
Chadwick suggested, “Mr. Sinclair, you’d better go change your clothes first so as not to be
photographed by the reporter. I fear they would write nonsense again.”
Chadwick then turned to look at Tabitha and said, “I’m afraid you may need to take care of those
reporters outside.”
Tabitha nodded, turned around, and left with Chadwick without looking at
Malcolm.
Malcolm was cold and stiff, but Tabitha was indifferent to him. Malcom couldn’t help feeling terrible.
He was angry, depressed, aggrieved, and somewhat inexplicably upset.
Naomi was quietly relieved to see Chadwick and Tabitha leave.
She pulled Malcolm and said with concern, “Malcolm, let me accompany you to change your clothes.
It’s so cold. You’ll catch a cold.”
Malcolm took her hand away quietly, and his gaze fell on her for a long
time.
“If Tabitha really bullied you, I’ll get the surveillance camera footage and ask her to find the ring and
apologize to you,” Malcolm said.
The smile on Naomi’s face froze for a moment. She tried to calm herself down and hide the panic in her
eyes.
“As I said just now, the ring fell off by accident. It really has nothing to do with Ms. Jarvis,” Naomi said
quietly.
Malcolm’s frown deepened, and no emotion could be seen on his face.

“Ms. Jarvis is pregnant and injured. If you really want to find fault with her, it will be bad for her health if
she gets angry,” Naomi said.
She gently tugged at Malcolm’s sleeve and whispered, “I don’t want to pursue this matter. How about
letting it go?”
Malcolm stared at Naomi’s face. Her reactions sent a chill down his spine.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Naomi had never said that Tabitha had thrown away the ring. But her ambiguous words were clearly
misleading him.
Even after he misunderstood Tabitha, she didn’t explain anything.
Seeing that Malcolm didn’t respond, Naomi became more uneasy and. shouted timidly, “Malcolm?”
Malcolm said indifferently, “Okay. I’ll let it go.”
They might not see the end of it if he persisted.
Naomi breathed a sigh of relief and took Malcolm’s hand intimately. “Your hands are so cold. Go
change out of the wet clothes.”
Malcolm looked at her innocent face and suddenly remembered the text message about the tulip.
He reckoned that this might happen because Naomi was feeling indignant. ‘But this has happened
twice now,’ Malcolm thought.
In front of him, she acted pure and innocent. He couldn’t help but wonder how she behaved in front of
Tabitha.
Despite Malcolm’s reluctance to admit it, he did misunderstand Tabitha again.
The relationship between them was not good. Ever since Naomi showed up, it seemed to get worse.

They came to the hotel lounge. When Malcolm was changing into clean. clothes, Naomi asked the
waiter to bring hot ginger tea.
She approached him with ginger tea and said softly, “Malcolm, drink this ginger tea. I don’t get what’s
up with Ms. Jarvis, really. Even if we had misunderstood each other, it would be better to explain
clearly. How could she push you into the water? It’s so cold…”
Naomi complained in a low voice, seemingly saying such words out of concern for him. But Malcolm
couldn’t trust her completely after the incident with the surveillance camera.
Especially when he misunderstood Tabitha, every complaint of Naomi at the moment seemed like a
slap to his face.
Malcolm couldn’t stand it anymore. He stepped back and distanced
himself from her.
Seeing this, Naomi was slightly surprised and felt aggrieved.
“Malcolm, what’s wrong?” Naomi asked.
Malcolm looked at her with a confused expression on his handsome face. “What happened between
you two before I came to the pool?”
