Chapter 784
"Um...okay then."
Damian's assistant then went to call Naomi again.Damian assumed that it was just one of those tricks
that celebrities pulled.
To him, they were just trying to extort more money from him.
Nobody was out of his reach as long as he paid them.He sat down and had a few more drinks before
his assistant returned a short while later.
The assistant had Damian’s phone with him this time and handed it over.
"Mr.Tanner, I don't think she's giving an excuse.I told her what you said, and she sent this over."
The assistant positioned the phone nearer to Damian's face as he spoke.
When Damian saw the photo, he almost dropped the glass in his hand.
"What the hell?!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNaomi had sent him a picture with the message, "I had an allergic reaction.I'm in the hospital now.If you
don't believe me, here's a picture of my face for you."
Although only half of her face was in the photo, she was flushed and covered in pimples.It was a
terrifying sight.It was no wonder Damian almost dropped his glass.
"Put that away! That’s cursed! Why’d you show it to me?!"
He growled, "All right, who cares if she's not coming? Why don't I ask someone to send her a get-well-
soon gift basket to demonstrate my consideration? We must leave a good impression so they can't find
fault in us."
He took another bottle after pausing to reflect, poured himself a drink, and then said, "Hold up, get two
more things for her.Then call some reporters in to take a few photos to show our company's concern."
This sounded like a good idea.Damian's assistant nodded and immediately carried out his orders.
Then there was another wave of flatteries.
They all praised him for his authoritative demeanor, incredible strategies, and the fact that this
company was experiencing its most prosperous period.
In all of Damian's twenty-plus years, this was the happiest night.
Suddenly, he felt that all those humiliating years of his past were buried, and the path ahead was
bright.
Meanwhile, Naomi slowly wiped her face with a towel, then looked in the mirror.
Although she did have a rash on her face, it wasn't as bad as the one in the picture Damian had
received.She lightly tapped on the red dots, and her gaze darkened.
"Naomi, you're being put through a lot."
The person standing by her hospital bed was Eloise.
"Eloise, how can you say that? If I hadn't had your support back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't know where
I'd be.This is nothing to me."

Naomi put the mirror down.
Although her face did suffer, it didn't matter.
"That's a result of both your talent and luck.I guess we're fated.After being out of the industry for so
many years, I didn't expect you to become such a big star.Destiny is an amazing thing!"
Eloise was a little emotional as she said this.
If she hadn't stepped away from the scene back then and become a trophy wife, would her life have
been different today? Would she be more successful? Nonetheless, there were no "ifs" in this world.
Nobody knows what life would be like if they could go back in time.Still, it made sense that someone
who had lost something would spend sleepless nights tossing and turning over it.
"You're doing pretty well yourself.You can enjoy life with peace of mind and don't need to work hard to
make money like the rest of us," Naomi responded.
"Am I?"
Eloise slowly sat on the stool next to the bed with a wry smile and said, "At this age, I'm still thinking of
ways to help my children.Now, I'm here to ask for your help..."
