Chapter 30
Tabitha smiled sarcastically. “Why? Are you guilty?”
Naomi’s eyes flashed, and her heart trembled with panic. However, she pretended to be tough. “I just don’t think it is appropriate to install a surveillance camera near the swimming pool. It is easy to invade the privacy of guests.”
“There was a theft in the hotel,” Chadwick explained. “After all, the guests in the hotel are from famous families. For the safety of customers‘ property, we installed pinhole cameras.”
Naomi didn’t dare to say anything.
Seeing her shut up, Chadwick said gently, “Mr. Sinclair, I’ll arrange for the waiter to take you to change into clean clothes first, and then we can check the surveillance camera footage together.”
Before he nodded, Naomi had already hurried to speak, “There’s no need to trouble you. In fact, it was because my finger size did not match the ring. that the ring fell off. It had nothing to do with Ms. Jarvis. Malcolm, you had misunderstood Ms. Jarvis.”
Malcolm frowned and gave Naomi a complicated look.
Tabitha and Chadwick were waiting for them to make a statement, but Naomi seemed very reluctant to look at the footage.
The atmosphere was a little stiff.
The reporter, who had been stopped outside, was getting agitated and recognized Malcolm.
He recognized Malcolm to be the young and promising upstart who often appeared on the cover of magazines. ‘Why did he look so disheveled?‘ he wondered.

There must be something going on.
The reporter wanted to take a shot.
Chadwick suggested, “Mr. Sinclair, you’d better go change your clothes first so as not to be photographed by the reporter. I fear they would write nonsense again.”
Chadwick then turned to look at Tabitha and said, “I’m afraid you may need to take care of those reporters outside.”
Tabitha nodded, turned around, and left with Chadwick without looking at
Malcolm.
Malcolm was cold and stiff, but Tabitha was indifferent to him. Malcom couldn’t help feeling terrible.
He was angry, depressed, aggrieved, and somewhat inexplicably upset.
Naomi was quietly relieved to see Chadwick and Tabitha leave.
She pulled Malcolm and said with concern, “Malcolm, let me accompany you to change your clothes. It’s so cold. You’ll catch a cold.”
Malcolm took her hand away quietly, and his gaze fell on her for a long
time.
“If Tabitha really bullied you, I’ll get the surveillance camera footage and ask her to replace the ring and apologize to you,” Malcolm said.
The smile on Naomi’s face froze for a moment. She tried to calm herself down and hide the panic in her eyes.
“As I said just now, the ring fell off by accident. It really has nothing to do with Ms. Jarvis,” Naomi said quietly.
Malcolm’s frown deepened, and no emotion could be seen on his face.

“Ms. Jarvis is pregnant and injured. If you really want to replace fault with her, it will be bad for her health if she gets angry,” Naomi said.
She gently tugged at Malcolm’s sleeve and whispered, “I don’t want to pursue this matter. How about letting it go?”
Malcolm stared at Naomi’s face. Her reactions sent a chill down his spine.
Naomi had never said that Tabitha had thrown away the ring. But her ambiguous words were clearly misleading him.
Even after he misunderstood Tabitha, she didn’t explain anything.
Seeing that Malcolm didn’t respond, Naomi became more uneasy and. shouted timidly, “Malcolm?”
Malcolm said indifferently, “Okay. I’ll let it go.”
They might not see the end of it if he persisted.
Naomi breathed a sigh of relief and took Malcolm’s hand intimately. “Your hands are so cold. Go change out of the wet clothes.”
Malcolm looked at her innocent face and suddenly remembered the text message about the tulip.
He reckoned that this might happen because Naomi was feeling indignant. ‘But this has happened twice now,’ Malcolm thought.
In front of him, she acted pure and innocent. He couldn’t help but wonder how she behaved in front of Tabitha.
Despite Malcolm’s reluctance to admit it, he did misunderstand Tabitha again.
The relationship between them was not good. Ever since Naomi showed up, it seemed to get worse.

They came to the hotel lounge. When Malcolm was changing into clean. clothes, Naomi asked the waiter to bring hot ginger tea.
She approached him with ginger tea and said softly, “Malcolm, drink this ginger tea. I don’t get what’s up with Ms. Jarvis, really. Even if we had misunderstood each other, it would be better to explain clearly. How could she push you into the water? It’s so cold…”
Naomi complained in a low voice, seemingly saying such words out of concern for him. But Malcolm couldn’t trust her completely after the incident with the surveillance camera.
Especially when he misunderstood Tabitha, every complaint of Naomi at the moment seemed like a slap to his face.
Malcolm couldn’t stand it anymore. He stepped back and distanced
himself from her.
Seeing this, Naomi was slightly surprised and felt aggrieved.
“Malcolm, what’s wrong?” Naomi asked.
Malcolm looked at her with a confused expression on his handsome face. “What happened between you two before I came to the pool?”
