Chapter 80
Naomi smiled faintly. It seemed that they had planned to embarrass her tonight.
Before Naomi could respond, Elaine continued, “Furthermore, Ms. Yates’s ability to stay by Brendan’s side is a testament to her capabilities. She takes care of him in both work and life.”
Elaine then asked Chloe, “Ms. Yates, do you agree?”
Elaine turned her sharp gaze toward Chloe, who turned pale. She quickly looked at Naomi and shook her head, saying, “Naomi, it’s not like that. Please don’t believe these words. There are many assistants in the secretary’s office, and Brendan treats everyone equally.”
Although Chloe claimed that Brendan treated everyone equally, she continued to address him by his first
name, whereas his other colleagues in the secretary’s office did not.
Elaine’s provocation and Chloe’s explanations made Naomi suddenly feel passive as if she were a helpless animal being trampled upon and unable to resist.
Madelyn saw the situation, took advantage of her superior position, and arrogantly said, “Naomi, my mother is offering you some advice because your manners are sorely lacking. Let’s not even talk about your ability to take care of Brendan properly. It’s been over two years since you married him, and you still haven’t had a child. You haven’t given the Ludwig family any heirs. What are you doing?”
“This is something that any woman can easily do. You’re not incapable of having children, are you?”
Madelyn’s words were sharp, targeting Naomi’s most sensitive and vulnerable spot.
After Madelyn finished, Chloe looked at Naomi with a pitiful expression and softly said, “Naomi.”
Both her tone and expression were filled with sympathy for Naomi.
Naomi continued to wear a composed smile, ‘maintaining an attitude as if she were an outsider watching. their performance.
Pauline, seeing the situation, chimed in, “You’re always up to no good with Bailey. I really don’t know how your parents raised you. You don’t have a shred of womanly grace.”
Naomi shrugged it off and said, “At least my parents didn’t raise me to seduce someone else’s husband and become pregnant while someone else’s wife was seriously ill. As for how Mrs. Jenkins passed away. care to explain that, Pauline?”
Naomi’s revelation left Pauline pale. “Naomi, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Not long after Bailey’s mother passed away, Pauline quickly assumed a prominent position in the family. There were indeed many rumors and speculations in their circle at that time.
Feeling threatened by Pauline’s words, Elaine hurriedly seized the opportunity to speak, “Naomi, we’re older than you. When we give you advice, it’s for your own good. How can you make baseless
accusations like this?”
Naomi raised an eyebrow and responded, “Oh! It’s for my own good? Then, I’ll listen. Please, Elaine, teach

me how to be a good wife and keep Brendan’s heart.”
Elaine knew that Naomi didn’t have any good intentions, so she certainly wouldn’t genuinely provide advice. Additionally, she had no real affection for Naomi. With a condescending tone reflecting her seniority, Elaine remarked, “Stop making appearances in public, cease causing trouble wherever you go, and concentrate on being a good wife and mother at home. The utmost priority is to give birth to a child for Brendan; otherwise, this marriage will be at risk.”
She knew very well that Brendan was unwilling to have children, and their most significant issue was the lack of offspring. However, Elaine chose to harp on this point.
Naomi smiled and responded, “Why is the problem always attributed to me rather than Brendan? But now I really need to learn from you about how Mr. Sabella manages to have multiple women on the side and even father some children with them. I should have Brendan learn from him.”
With this statement, the expressions on Elaine’s and the others‘ faces immediately changed. They looked puzzled as they stared at Naomi,
Elaine asked, “Naomi, what do you mean by that?”
