Chapter 511 The Last Deal

    Seeing that Naomi already understood him so clearly, Christian no longer tried to hide banything/bb. /b

    “I can’t stay in Westbrook anymore,” Christian said directly. “I can only go overseas, but bimmigration /bband /bgetting into a foreign hospital costs a lot of money. What I have isn’t nearly enough. So what bexactly /bbdid /bbyou /bdo? Is the city hospital throwing you out?”

    “I…”

    When Christian looked up, he caught Naomi’s scrutinizing gaze. He didn’t dare speak, but could only bgrit /bhis teeth and say, “I’m… someone Wendy nted there. Now that Mr. Henry holds all the power, bthere’s /bbno /bce for me anymore.”

    “Wendy? Who’s Wendy?”

    Naomi asked in confusion.

    She didn’t know the details of the Foster family, so she could only learn bits and pieces from Christian.

    Seeing that Naomi was unaware of the Foster family’s internal–affairs, Christian said, “Wendy is Mr. Henry’s aunt. Over the years, she’s been quietly cultivating her own people. Her real goal is to control the lifeblood of the entire Foster family. She’s ruthless, calcting, and vicious–just a madwoman twisted by the loss of love. I have to leave Westbrook immediately, or there will be no way out for me.”

    At that, Christian quickly reached out and grasped Naomi’s hand. “Naomi, we were husband and wife, even if only for one night. And now you’re carrying my child. Please, help me. I really need you right now. Without that three million, if Wendy catches me, I’m finished.”

    Wendy had always been brutal with her subordinates. Back when Christian was still at ire University’s medical school, she had sponsored him. At the time, Wendy had seemed like a gentle, intelligent older bsister /b-someone people couldn’t help but want to get close to.

    And she was so beautiful that any man who saw her would inevitably fall under her spell.

    That was exactly how Wendy won over man after man, making them work for her willingly.

    Christian had been one of them back then, serving at her feet without hesitation.

    But now things were different. If what they had done ever came to light, he would be dragged down with

    her.

    To avoid being implicated, his only choice was to flee abroad.

    From Christian’s ount, Naomi finally understood why he wanted to run.

    But she still had other thoughts. “Wendy and Henry don’t get along. She’s always wanted to be the head of the Foster family, hasn’t she?”

    “Yes.”

    Christian nodded. “She’s wanted to be the family head for years. But because she’s a woman and a widowb, /bshe’s only ever held nominal positions in the Foster family. Even a distant branch member could bbe /bba /bgeneral manager at headquarters, yet Wendy only has shares. That’s why she’s been building her bown /bwork all these years. I can’t tell you exactly what she’s been doing–it’s all under confidentiality agreements. If I talked, Wendy would send someone to kill me.”

    Christian knew Wendy well. She might be beautiful, but she bwas /bba /bbvenomous /bbwoman/b.

    She’d spent byears /bconducting all sorts of research–any one of which, if revealed, could bget /bbthem /bball /bshot.

    “I’ve told you everything I canb, /bexcept for what I’m forbidden to say. I’ve hidden nothing bfrom /bbyou/bb. /bbAbout /bthat three million… You’re the father of the child I’m carrying. How could I not give you the bmoney/bb? /bbBut /blet ine make this clear–this will be thest time. If our rtionship everes bto /blight, I bwon’t /bblet /bbyou /bboff /b

    Christian’s gaze stayed fixed on the bank card in Naomi’s hand. He no longer cared about anything elseb, /bnodding repeatedly. “This will definitely be thest time I ask you for money. From now onb, /bbthe /bchild in your belly will have nothing to do with me, and I’ll never talk about us. You can rest beasy/b.”

    “Your word alone doesn’t reassure me. That’s why I had awyer draft a contract.”

    Naomi handed the contract to him.

    Christian took one look at it and signed without hesitation. He desperately needed that three million- whatever Naomi said, he would agree to it.

    Once Naomi saw his signature, she took the contract back and ced the bank card in his hand. “bDon’t /bblet /bme see you in Westbrook again. And before you leave, give me Wendy’s contact information.”
