“My men… where are my men! Sofia, hurry, hurry and call my men in! Go!” Nathaniel tried to reach for Naomi, but she shrugged off his hand with a look of disgust. Naomi then walked over to Matteo and said, “Mr. Cramer sent me to help you. I can pretend I didn't see anything today. You can do as you please. Once you become the head of the Hartwell family, I am willing to serve you loyally.” Hearing Naomi's words, Nathaniel's expression turned even uglier. “You! You bitch! You dare betray me! Tell me, when did you hook up with this ungrateful bastard Matteo!” Nathaniel tried to get up to strike Naomi, but he was in no state to even get near her. Naomi simply walked to Matteo's side. “Mr. Hartwell, you should understand the principle of the student surpassing the master. I am merely following your wishes by helping Matteo. It's time for you, the old horse, to exit the stage.” “Cramer?” Nathaniel's face darkened when he heard the name. “I've never offended Cramer! Why would he make a move against me?” “You can ask the devil.” Naomi stepped forward and plunged the knife in her hand into Nathaniel's chest. Nathaniel looked down at his chest, where blood was already bubbling up. Naomi sneered. “Mr. Cullinan wanted me to tell you that you don't need to worry about Eliza. I'm to take her.” With that, Naomi moved to take Eliza, but Matteo pulled out a pistol and aimed it at her. When Naomi saw the gun, she frowned. “What's the meaning of this?” “It means I'm not letting you take her.” Matteo was not a man who liked to waste words. Seeing his stance, Naomi laughed. “That's not what you said last night when you formed an alliance with me.” Matteo said flatly, “I've never been one to keep my word.” “What do you mean?” Naomi said, her expression instantly turning furious. “Are you saying you don't plan to hand Eliza over to me?” “Yes.” “Matteo! Are you kidding me!” Naomi raged. “We had a deal last night! I helped you divert all of Nathaniel's men, tricked him into luring Eliza here... and helped you complete this scheme. Otherwise, how could you have killed Nathaniel so easily? And now you're just casting me aside now that you've gotten what you want!” “So what?” Matteo raised an eyebrow. He leaned in close to her ear and lowered his voice. “Don't think I don't know who you are. Cramer sent you to help, but he never said you were to take Eliza, did he… Naomi?” When Naomi heard Matteo say her real name, her nerves instantly tensed. Matteo said coldly, “Scram while I'm still letting you. Tell Cramer I appreciate his kind gesture. I'll be sending a thank-you gift in a few days. Tell him not to worry.” Matteo turned, bent down, and lifted the unconscious Eliza into his arms. As he was about to leave, Naomi suddenly called out, “Aren't you afraid I'll tell everyone about your scheme?” “If you dare, you're welcome to try.” Naomi looked at his eyes and felt a shiver run through her. After Matteo left, Naomi angrily swept everything off the table onto the floor. Her original plan was to use Cramer to get close to Matteo, gain some benefits from him, and then get rid of Eliza. She never thought Matteo would turn the tables on her, leaving her with nothing. Naomi glanced at Nathaniel, who was lying in a pool of blood, and vindictively kicked his body twice. At that moment, her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID was Cramer, Naomi quickly answered. “Is it done?” Hearing Cramer's question, Naomi took a deep breath. “It's done. But you haven't finished your side of the bargain! I told you, I want Eliza dead. When will you help me kill her?” “Eliza is the daughter of the Sue family. Taking her life is not that easy.” “But you promised me…” Naomi's voice was urgent. Cramer, however, said unhurriedly, “I promised I wouldn't kill you. You said yourself that as long as I didn't kill you, you would do anything. Besides, I only promised I would help you take Eliza's life, not that I would do it for you. If you really have the ability, you can do it yourself.”
