Lily protected her face and said, “Elaine, I didn’t mean to hurt you. Clement and I genuinely love each. other. I’d never set out to break up your family. I’ve seen how happy you all are, and Clement is such a wonderful man.
“I just wanted to be a part of your family. Elaine, I won’t make Clement divorce you, and I won’t take him away from you.”
Lily’s explanation only fueled Elaine’s and Madelyn’s anger, making them hit her even harder.
The people nearby saw the situation and couldn’t intervene. They could only gossip and criticize Lily for being ungrateful and disloyal. Only Pauline remained relatively calm, trying to persuade them, “Elaine, Madelyn, whatever the issue is, let’s settle this after the banquet is over. Tonight is the Sabella Group’s anniversary celebration.”
However, Elaine and Madelyn were too furious to listen to Pauline’s advice. They continued to attack Lily relentlessly.
The commotion caught the attention of all the guests at the party. Even the journalists, who were initially
there to cover the event, started focusing on the brawl. Seeing Elaine and Madelyn attacking someone,
they abandoned their reporting duties to capture the fight on camera.
Pauline realized that she couldn’t defuse the situation and sent Estelle to inform Clement and Henry
about it.
When Henry learned that his mother and sister were fighting Lily, he rushed over to intervene. With a stern expression, Henry raised his voice and said, “Can’t we settle this after the banquet? Must you ruin tonight’s event?”
They had been cautious, fearing that Naomi would cause a scene at the party, but it turned out that Elaine and Madelyn would cause a disturbance instead.
Madelyn, with tears in her eyes, looked at Henry and said, “Henry, this bitch seduced Dad. She and Dad even have a pair of twins together.”
Henry’s face darkened. He felt a surge of anger, but he managed to suppress it. He coldly replied, “Let’s
settle this later.”

With the arrival Clement, the commotion came to an end.
As Henry’s gaze fell on Naomi, he noticed her leaning against a nearby pillar, watching the drama unfold with a satisfied smile. He knew that she had clearly orchestrated this.
The disturbance had ruined the Sabella family’s celebration, and the scandal quickly spread across various media platforms, making it impossible for Henry to contain the information.
What was supposed to be a joyful evening had turned into a night of embarrassment for the Sabella family.
Naomi hummed as she walked down the stairs with her parents and Bailey. Her mood was exceptionally

Seeing her demeanor, Christine said sternly, “I knew it. You were definitely up to something mischievous. Look at what you’ve done to the Sabella family tonight.”
No wonder Naomi insisted on her attending the banquet a few days ago, saying that there would be a
surprise.
Naomi responded, “Mom, this has nothing to do with me. I didn’t make Clement seek other women outside, nor did I ask Elaine and Madelyn to resort to violence. I simply adhered to the principles of faimess and justice as a lawyer, allowing the facts to be presented to everyone.”
Christine sighed. “No matter how you
put it, you have a point. I can’t argue with you.”
Bailey chimed in, “Mrs. Goodwin, tonight, Naomi did nothing wrong. They were the ones who provoked her first. If we have to blame someone, it should be Elaine and Madelyn for losing their tempers.
Naomi was well aware of Madelyn’s and Elaine’s personalities. She didn’t need to do much to make the Sabella family look bad; they could handle that on their own.
Christine realized that that was indeed the case. Naomi had provided them with the evidence, and how this situation would unfold and conclude had been entirely up to them.
As they reached the parking lot, Naomi’s phone suddenly rang. She took out her phone and checked the caller ID. Her expression immediately changed for the worse.
