Chapter 218
Heather grew upset when she recalled Henry’s words to Naomi. If it weren’t for Jackson and Patrick, Heather would have ripped into Henry.
Hearing this, Naomi knew Heather had seen her and Henry in the washroom.
Jackson frowned at Heather’s words. “Really?”
Heather glanced at Naomi. “Dad, you can ask Naomi yourself if you doubt me. Ask her if Henry did stop her at the washroom and said all those nasty things to her.
“Dad, Henry is a scheming fox. I bet he was using Naomi when he exposed Clement’s bastard children at that time.
“And I heard he did something terrible to Clement’s mistress. Clement is in no better state too. Without the company, he had no means of supporting himself now.”
After Heather finished, Naomi said to Jackson, “Grandpa, Henry does indeed have big ambitions. Mom was telling the truth.”
Hearing this, Jackson frowned silently. It seemed he had helped the wrong person this time. Henry might even come after Brendan in the future.
Jackson fell silent. Just then, Brendan stepped forward. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. Henry doesn’t stand a chance against me, whether it’s work or with Naomi.”
Brendan’s assurance made Jackson breathe a sigh of relief. “Brendan, you’re a sensible kid. I always believe we shouldn’t go after others unless provoked.”
Jackson was telling Brendan to lay low unless Henry wronged him.
“I understand, Grandpa,” Brendan said.
Afterward, the two of them chatted for a while. When Brendan and Naomi were about to leave, Heather
came out to see them off.
In the courtyard, Brendan held Naomi’s hand and said to Heather. “Mom, how did Naomi respond to
Henry?”
Heather confessed, “She told Henry that he’s far inferior to you.”
Brendan smiled happily at this. Then, he reached out his right hand, which was holding Naomi’s hand, and
placed it around her neck. He pinched her ears lightly. “You have good taste.”
Naomi retorted, “I’m just not stupid.”
She wasn’t stupid enough to insult her husband to an outsider, even if they weren’t on the best of terms.
Sensing that the young couple’s relationship was improving, Heather felt happiness welling up within her.
Naomi even mentioned that they were trying for a baby, which only brought more joy to Heather. After

escorting them to the car, she gave them a few reminders before sending them off.
Now, she just had to wait for the day she became a grandmother.
After the car started, Brendan turned to Naomi with a cold smile. “Henry is quite bold.”
It seemed Henry hadn’t learned his lesson despite having his arm broken last time.
Naomi added fuel to the fire. “Indeed, he even dares to go after your wife.”
Brendan warned, “Naomi, I’m warning you now. I’ll kill you if you entertain other men.”
Naomi snorted, “Likewise.”
Brendan should also heed his own warning!
Half an hour later, just as the two of them arrived home, Christine came over and greeted, “Hello, Naomi,
Brendan. Welcome home!”
Naomi was surprised. “What brings you here, Mom?”
Christine smiled. “I came to visit you and Brendan!”
What was with the question? Was Naomi no longer her child now that Naomi was married? Could she not
pay a visit to her own daughter?
