Chapter 40
“Naomi, you..
Before Madelyn could finish her words, Naomi landed two more slaps on her face. “Answer mel”
Witnessing her seamless sequence of actions, the maids of the Sabella family were utterly bewildered. They never expected Naomi to come to Sabella Mansion alone and confront the heiress.
“You guys are useless! Go and get my parents and grandfather from the backyard! Stop standing there and just watching!”
It was only when Madelyn yelled at them that the maids, in a flustered state, finally rushed to the backyard to call for help.
In no time at all, Patrick Sabella, Madelyn’s grandfather, and a few others from the Sabella family hurriedly arrived. By then, Naomi had already settled the score with Madelyn. She finished up by giving Madelyn another kick.
Seeing Madelyn lying bruised and battered on the ground, Patrick almost lost his temper.
Struggling not to black out and with trembling hands gripping his cane, he blurted out, “Naomi Goodwin, you’re completely out of your mind! How dare you do this and disregard my family? Is this how your parents have taught you?”
Naomi nonchalantly put her hands in the pockets of her suit pants and looked disdainfully at Patrick. Your family didn’t teach Madelyn any manners. I’m just helping you, old man.”
Patrick fumed. His voice was shaking as he said, “Even if the Sabella family’s upbringing is lacking, it’s none of your business, Naomi,”
Then, he turned to Madelyn and ordered, “Madelyn, stand up and teach her a lesson!”
“Naomi, you’re too audacious.” Madelyn’s mother, Elaine Sabella, was visibly upset, while Madelyn’s
father, Clement Sabella, was dumbfounded. His face was pale.
“Grandpa!” Madelyn cried louder when she saw her family arriving.
Patrick demanded, “Stop crying! Stand up and fight back!”
Wiping away her tears, Madelyn picked up the ashtray from the coffee table and glanced at Naomi.
However, Naomi remained calm and fearless. She turned sideways and warned, “Go ahead and try hitting
me.”
Madelyn was afraid of Naomi, She immediately withdrew her threatening hand and tearfully looked at
Patrick.
“Grandpa, I can’t do it.”
Seeing Madelyn’s submissiveness, Patrick turned to Clement and ordered, “Clement, stop standing there! Go and get my whip. I have to teach this unruly girl a lesson on behalf of the Goodwin family!”
Chapte 40
Clement immediately signaled to the maid, who promptly brought the whip over.
Without another word, Naomi picked up a vase from the coffee table and smashed it. She then pointed the remaining half of the broken vase at the rest of the Sabella family and said calmly, “Come and strike me, if you dare.”
Madelyn was terrified. She retreated as she looked at the broken vase in Naomi’s hand. She was genuinely scared of Naomi.
“You audacious brat…” Patrick was so furious that he was at a loss for words.
Suddenly, a voice echoed from the entrance. “What’s going on here?”
It turned out to be Brendan and Jason, accompanied by several men in black suits.
As soon as Madelyn noticed Brendan’s presence, she felt even more miserable and wronged.
Wiping her tears, she ran toward Brendan and wailed, “Brendan, Naomi is being too arrogant. She came to my house and hit me. She even yelled at my grandfather, showing no respect at all.”
Seeing the situation, Elaine chimed in, “Indeed, Brendan. This girl is unbearable. She’s not a proper fit to be your wife.”
The relationship between Brendan and Naomi was known to all. So, Madelyn and Elaine took the opportunity to complain about Naomi, in hopes of ruining their relationship.
However, Brendan responded, “It’s for me to decide whether she’s fit to be my wife or not.”
After saying that, he glanced at the whip that Patrick had just brought over and walked toward Naoml. Did they lay their hands on you?”
Naomi nonchalantly tossed away the broken vase in her hand and replied, “You’ve arrived just in time.” Elaine was displeased. She then blustered, “Brendan, are you trying to protect her? Look at what she did to Madelyn. She came to our family and caused such a ruckus. Isn’t that too much?” Brendan looked over and said coldly. “It’s already been done. Or do you want to take revenge now?”
