Naomi’s shoulders were trembling. She looked extremely frightened and said in a panic. “I don’t know.”
Malcolm noticed every expression on her face. Naturally, he could see the fear in her eyes and knew that she
truly did not know the real culprit. Thus, he did not ask her again and merely asked Saul to drive faster.
At the hospital, after having a check-up, Malcolm was told that his elbow had been injured, but it was not a
major issue.
The doctor said, “There may be sswelling and pain these few days. Be careful not to exert too much force,
and eat light.”
After listening to the doctor's advice, Malcolm walked out of the ward with a file in his hand.
Then, Malcolm looked at Naomi who was still frightened before turning to say to Saul, “Stay outside.”
“Yes, sir.”
Then, Saul went out and shut the door. He stood still and guarded the
entrance.
There were only two people left in the ward, and Malcolm's scrutinizing eyes, with a heavy sense of pressure, fell
on Naomi.
Naomi’s heart skipped a beat because of his gaze. Then, she asked cautiously, “Malcolm, why are you looking at
“Naomi, you cto see Emmanuel today, didn’t you?” he asked.
Before Naomi went to the company that day to see Emmanuel, she had already figured out an excuse. Thus, she
pretended to stutter, “Malcolm, you haven't been seeinglately or answering my calls. I'm so upset—"

“There is no need to change the subject. Malcolm's eyes flashed with disgust. He added coldly. “Answer me

Then, Naomi added in a low voice quickly. “Last tat the hospital, | saw Emmanuel deliver food to Tabitha.
After that, Tabitha adjusted his collar and even acted coquettishly with him. She asked him to visit her more
often. She also said she liked the food he cooked...”
Although Malcolm knew that Naomi might be deliberately making it up, his expression was still grim.
“I don’t want to speak ill of her behind her back, but you won't get a divorce. I'm worried that you have fallen in
love with her. So | went to see Emmanuel to talk to him. If it's confirmed that he likes Tabitha, then—"
“Then what?” he interrupted.
Malcolm's lips were completely pursed. Meanwhile, his tone was cold as he added, “Do you want to cooperate
with Emmanuel to set him up with Tabitha?”
“I don’t want to do this either.” Naomi immediately cried as she added. “But | don’t have any other option. You
care too much about her now. I'm afraid you're already in love with her.”
Indeed, he was already in love with Tabitha.
Perhaps he had fallen in love with her earlier, but he merely refused to admit it.
Now that he wanted to admit it, he had no chance to talk to her anymore.
Malcolm had no expression on his face. “Let's not talk about it for a

Naomi’s hand trembled briefly. She was shocked. “What do you mean, Malcolm? Do you know who's trying to kill
me?”
“Don’t tellyou have no idea who it was.” Malcolm stared at her. With a mocking smile, he added, “How did
you and Emmanuel know each other? Do | have to repeat it? Moreover, Giuseppe has just arrived in Xosa a few
days ago...”
Naomi was stunned and forgot to pretend to cry. Then, the realization dawned on her. She thought, ‘Malcolm
already knows everything! So he’s been secretly investigatingthese days. What else did he find besides
Emmanuel and Giuseppe?”
“Naomi, | don’t have to expose everything. | trusted and respected you, so | didn’t want to send anyone to
investigate you. But you'd better know that Emmanuel is not as capable as | am,” Malcolm said.
Therefore, if Malcolm wanted to investigate anything, no one could hide from him.
Naomi’s brain was working at full speed. In an instant, she covered her face and cried.

“Now, I'm the only one who can save your life, Naomi. If you're not planning to tellthe truth, | don’t have to

A strong feeling of disgust appeared in Malcolm's gaze as he turned around and wanted to walk away.
Malcolm, you can’t leavealone,” she said.
Thinking of the frightening scene just now, Naomi immediately fell to the ground and grabbed the corner of his
shirt. She started to cry miserably.
“If I die, Tabitha will never know the real Emmanuel!” she exclaimed.
Malcolm’s gaze darkened.
‘She’s fallen for it, he thought.
He shook off Naomi’s hand and said coldly, “If you wantto save your life, then telleverything you have
done before.”

Although he had already found out about it, he still needed to hear the confirmation from Naomi.
“You're right,” Naomi whispered. Then, she added, “I entered your room immediately after Tabitha left. You woke

Malcolm's jawline was tense, and he stared at Naomi with frost in his blue.
eyes.
Since he was a child, Alaric had been teaching him in a highly pressuring way. Thus, his emotions rarely showed.
However, at this moment, he was truly angered.
The person who had been with him was Tabitha. Nevertheless, because of Naomi, he misunderstood that
Tabitha’s child was illegitimate. Now, it caused them to almost break up.
Moreover, a scarier assumption appeared in Malcolm’s mind. He thought, ‘Back then, did Naomi really refuse to
help Raphael and Meghan? She only managed to escape because Giuseppe dealt with it.”
Then, he continued to muse to himself, “Tabitha has always been calm and composed. She doesn’t look like B
