Naomi answered with hesitation, “No. I have no idea where Jefferson got it. It’s highly addictive, and when my withdrawal kicks in, I feel even worse than death. That’s why I haven’t been able to quit it.”

“Then why did you come back here?” Cyrus spat coldly and grabbed her hair rather roughly. “Do you know that I hate ugly, stinky women the most?”

Hurriedly, she grabbed his arm and shook her head. “I won’t become a woman like that, Cyrus! Please, believe me. I just missed you so much that I couldn’t help but come back to meet you! Just give me a little more time. I promise I’ll get rid of my addiction! That person has already settled down in Norwal City, so I won’t need to worry about it anymore. I have a lot of time.”

Arnaud’s expression softened when he heard that.

Naomi went into his embrace and said, “I don’t need to worry about what that person does because she’s very fastidious and capable. Where did you find her?”

“She’s a greedy woman. I just needed to look into her and bait her out with money. Remember to use a fake identity when you contact her. Don’t meet her personally. Ask someone else to do it on your behalf instead. This woman is meticulous and avaricious, so it’s possible she may switch sides when completing the mission I gave her.”

“I know. I’ve been asking other people to meet with her.” She paused before continuing with a frown, “I learned a few things Curtis likes after staying by his side for a while, and I’m certain this woman is not his type.”

Looking as though he had a winning strategy, Arnaud grinned. “It doesn’t matter if he likes her or not. As long as she loves money, she’ll come up with a plan.”

Suddenly, Naomi was a little jealous and muttered depressingly, “It seems like she’s your type, and she’s also smart. Are you going to hold her in high regard and abandon me one day?”

Staring at her, he uttered, “You’re my Sweetheart. She can’t be compared to you.”

“I don’t believe you!”
