Naomi sneered. “You’re most welcome, Henry. I’m more than willing to provide my service again. Just say
the word.”
The implication was clear. Naomi would make Henry regret it if she ever caught him slipping up.
Henry smiled. “Sure! Then, tell me what I should do to have you as Madelyn’s sister–in–law.”
Naomi returned a smile and adjusted Henry’s suit. “Henry, you’re nothing compared to Brendan.”
It doesn’t matter if Henry became Sabella Group’s president. He would never be able to hold a candle to Brendan, and she would never like him.
“Is that so?” Henry leaned closer to Naomi. “I believe there will come a day when you’ll need my help.”
Naomi huffed, “I can’t wait.”
Not far away, Heather grew livid as she listened to Henry’s flirting and his desire to make Naomi his.
Henry was shameless. Despite Jackson’s help, he was still eyeing Naomi. The Sabella family was really despicable. Clement and Elaine weren’t doing a good job at parenting their children.
Heather was upset enough that Henry was keeping an eye on Brendan. But she grew even more annoyed now that Henry was also eying Naomi.
Furthermore, Heather understood Henry’s intention to woo Naomi wasn’t because he was intrigued with her. He just wanted to compete with Brendan, to show that he was better than him.
Heather didn’t believe Henry was capable of competing with Brendan. Who did he think he was?
When Henry returned to the dining room, Heather smiled and gave him a plate of food. “Henry, you look so thin and pale. Are you feeling unwell? Have you been to the hospital for a check–up?”
Before Henry could respond, Heather continued, “You and Brendan are the same age. Yet Brendan has been married for over two years now and is about to become a father.
“You don’t even have a girlfriend yet. Is there a problem? If there is, you should go for a check–up as soon as possible. I have a classmate who is a specialist in men’s health. Shall I introduce you to him?”
Heather continued to help Henry with some spicy food as she said this. Hmph! Trying to compete with Brendan? He still had a long way to go!
Henry fell silent. What was wrong with Heather? Why was she suddenly serving him so much food, and why was she taking a jab at him?
More importantly, Heather knew he didn’t eat spicy food. Yet she deliberately served him a full plate of spicy dishes. She must be doing this to embarrass him.
Heather observed Henry’s changing expression and smiled. “Henry, it’s good to have some spice tolerance. You’ll look pale and lifeless if all you eat is bland food.

“Women won’t want you. Look at Brendan. Look how good his complexion is. I’m sure he’s serving Naomi well. Such rosy cheeks.”
Heather’s implication was clear. She was looking down on Henry, beating around the bush to say he shouldn’t have flirted with Naomi and challenged Brendan.
Hearing this, Henry’s expression turned ugly, and Patrick looked pissed too.
Brendan, on the other hand, just watched the scene play out. He knew Heather must have heard or seen something when she went out earlier.
Heather was good! She was tearing down his romantic rivals for him. It seemed like all the allowance he gave her didn’t go to waste. He was even thinking of giving her a bonus this month.
Both Henry and Patrick looked awkward, while Jackson’s face turned gloomy. “Heather, why are you stirring up trouble?”
Brendan and Naomi were on their best behavior today. It was a shock that Heather was the one starting the fight.
