Naomi hung her coat on the coat rack after passing her luggage to the maid.
“What brings you here, Mom?” she asked.
“I’m here to see you. Naomi, come and see if you like this gift,” Heather replied.

“Mom, what’s with the secrecy? do you have this time?”
However, Heather remained silent and led Naomi to the living room.
Upon arrival, Naomi’s smile froze at the sight of the exquisite set of sapphire jewelry displayed on the table.
Heather asked, “Naomi, do you like the sapphire jewelry set? It took me a great deal of effort to get it.”
At times, one couldn’t purchase exquisite jewelry and limited–edition handbags even with money.
Naomi turned to Heather and replied, “Yeah, I really like it.”
Needless to say, Heather must have known that Brendan gifted Chloe a pink diamond necklace. Hence, she wanted to apologize on behalf of Brendan by giving her the sapphire jewelry.
Naomi’s assessment was accurate; Heather was indeed aware of the matter because Ronald had
Informed her.
Since they couldn’t control Brendan, they hoped his mother would rein him in.
Naomi said, “Mom, I won’t really use these jewels often. Why don’t you keep them for yourself? Otherwise, they’ll just collect dust here.”
“Since I have already given the jewels to you, I don’t mind them sitting here unused.”
Heather was seething at Brendan’s actions. How could he not value his wife and favor another woman?
What the hell was he thinking? She resolved to give him a piece of her mind upon his return.
Seeing Heather’s determination, Naomi smiled and said, “Since you insist, Mom, I’ll gladly accept it.”
Just as Naomi accepted the gift, Brendan returned home. At the sight of him, Heather’s expression Instantly darkened.
“Have you finally decided to come back? Do you still remember you have a family?”
“Are you mad?” Brendan asked while changing his shoes.
Heather replied, “Mad? I’m fuming.”
Seeing Heather gearing up to scold Brendan, Naomi hurriedly took the jewelry and made her way upstairs.
When Naomi was gone, Heather approached her son and grabbed his ear. “You brat! What were you. thinking?
“Not only did you give Chloe such an expensive gift, you had to flaunt it in front of Naomi. How do you

think Naomi feels?”
Since the call from Ronald, Heather had barely slept for the past two days.
Brendan removed Heather’s hand from his ear and said, “She doesn’t care about my stuff.”
Heather raised her hand and slapped him a few times. “Is it that she doesn’t appreciate your stuff or that you are a heartless man? Don’t you know how much Naomi has suffered because of you for these past two years?”
Brendan and Naomi never had a wedding, bought wedding rings, or even took wedding photos. If Heather were in Naomi’s position, she would have already confronted the Ludwig family.
Before Brendan could say anything, Heather continued, “Get rid of Chloe immediately, or I’ll handle her

Brendan frowned and replied, “Mom, please don’t meddle in my affairs. You should go back and rest.” With that, he sent Heather away.
As the car began to move away slowly, Heather glanced back at the villa. She was still troubled by Brendan’s misdeeds and felt that she couldn’t stand idly by anymore.
Brendan stood at the villa’s entrance as he slipped his hands in his pockets. He heaved a sigh of relief as he watched Heather finally leave..
Soon after, he pushed open the bedroom door. Naomi had just finished changing her clothes.
