Daddy’s Doting Addiction

Chapter 22

Chapter 22 “Spreading rumors and defamation will not only land you a hefty fine, but you will also have to go to prison. You might want to think before doing this. Do you dare defame the Hough Corp?”

“You better consider this carefully. Bribery is not worth risking your life over!”

Naomi said logically and sensibly. In her last sentence, she even slowed down and enunciated clearly. She did not raise her tone, but it was filled with danger.

The paparazzi looked at each other, baffled and in a daze.

“I‘ll give you all one more chance. Are there any other questions?” Naomi cleared her throat and looked at them.

“Miss Green. We’re sorry! We were just following orders from our boss! This has nothing to do with us!” A smart reporter immediately came to his senses. He apologized to Naomi while deleting the footage he took of Naomi in front of her.

The others soon follow suit.

“Missus Hough, so sorry! We‘re fools!”

The smarter ones immediately changed their attitude and the topic.

“Missus Hough, everyone says you and Mister Hough are a match made in heaven. Do you mind sharing a few stories of the courtship?”

“Yes, yes, Miss Green, what do you like about Mister Hough?”

The other reporters came to their senses and started flattering Naomi. An interview that was supposed to tarnish Naomi‘s image was completely turned around by her!

“The details? Hmm…” Naomi smiled and started making stuff up to the reporters. 10 minutes later, everyone left harmoniously.

At the corner of the school entrance, Clarissa was baffled looking at them. Why did the reporters suddenly treat Naomi so well?

She immediately fished her phone out with a darkened expression and dialed the boss of the paparazzi. She reprimanded, “What the hell is going on? I spent so much money! It‘s not so you can create traction for Naomi!”

On the other end of the line, not only did the other party not apologize to Clarissa, but he also harrumphed coldly This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Hmph! We can‘t afford to offend the Houghs. If you want to do your terrible deeds, don’t look for us! You can get someone else to do it!”

“Then, I demand a refund!” Clarissa thought of using money to threaten him. She never expected that he would be more ruthless than her.

“Refund? My reporters have done according to what you asked. We already did what we were told! No refunds!”

“You!” Clarissa was infuriated. She was about to scream at him, but the other party hung up on her!

“Ah! How dare he do that to me!” Clarissa was so furious she was trembling. If she was not at the school entrance, she would have smashed her phone to pieces!

“Clarissa, what are you doing here?” Suddenly, Gary’s voice rang out from behind. Clarissa immediately

collected her angry look. She turned around and made a pitiful and gentle look.

“Gary, I heard that the reporters were attacking Naomi. I was worried, so I came over to have a look.”

“You’re still ever so kind! Unlike Naomi!” Looking at Clarissa‘s face, Gary almost swooned. At the thought of Naomi, his face was instantly filled with disgust and disappointment.

“You gave up your chance to get matched with Jack Hough so that she could have him, yet you’re still worried for her! What about her? She caused a huge mess in your family. She even said harsh things to you! People like her are not worth your kindness!”

Gary was feeling unfair on behalf of Clarissa and hugged her in his arms dotingly.

“Gary, don‘t say that. After all, Naomi thought that I was the one who took you away from her.”

Clarissa pretended to be submissive, leaning into Gary‘s arms.

“Hmph! I‘m not her boyfriend. She can‘t control who I like!” When Gary heard what Clarissa said, his detes for Naomi grew further!

“Sigh, I never would have thought that Naomi would change once she got married to Mister Hough. She even beat you up yesterday, embarrassing you…” Clarissa said nonchalantly, but every word she said was stoking the flames.

Sure enough, Gary‘s expressions were ugly! The more he thought, the angrier he got!

“She will pay for it today!”

“Gary, don‘t do anything silly. I just want to be with you.” Clarissa was delighted. She pretended to be worried for Gary and hugged him, all while acting innocent. “Don‘t worry, I have it all planned out…”
