She went on, “But, I gotta stand up for the rights as the lady of the Cedillo family, even if it means going
down fighting for Leo’s rightful shares.”
Bruce frowned upon hearing his wife, “Naomi, you gotta cut ties with the Marshals.”
“Why?”
Bruce looked at his wife’s bruised face. He wanted to scold her, but he felt more pity. “You’re a real
dummy, getting used and not even realizing it.”
The next day, Mia was up from the couch early, and so was Andre. “If you want to go to the Irvins, I can
drop you off.”
“Nah, if I go too early, it’ll make my folks suspicious.”
Andre watched her get busy. She got dressed and then put her pajamas in the suitcase.
It was like this every day. Andre found her behavior very inconvenient and even had the urge to tell her
to put her clothes in the closet.
But soon, he shrugged off the idea. Her inconvenience was none of his business.
At breakfast, Naomi and Bruce were not home.
Although Hansen was displeased with Mia’s behavior, he knew that he couldn’t criticize her, so he
didn’t bother.
At the dining table, following his rules, no one talked.
In the morning, Jillian came to the Cedillo family. Hansen was annoyed, and he had her driven away
straight away.
In the afternoon, Naomi came back.
She came back this time with her gaze sharply fixed on Mia, and Mia stared right back at her.
Hansen became friendly upon seeing Naomi come home. He didn’t bring up the matter of Naomi
apologizing to the Irvin family.
Hansen thought to himself, his eldest son was the mayor, and Naomi was the mayor’s wife. Having her
apologize to a common family would make them embarra**ed in front of everyone. He was too
impulsive yesterday. After thinking it over at night, he decided to downplay the matter.
Then, the Cedillo family tacitly agreed to let it go. No one brought it up afterward.
Mia was stubborn, and she remembered this incident.
The Cedillo family spent two more quiet days, Naomi’s injury on her face became less severe.
On the way to dinner, she bumped into Mia again.
“Mia, I will take revenge for my face one day.”
Mia replied calmly, her expression suddenly changed, “You still owe my parents an apology.”
“Don’t hold your breath for my apology. Dad made it clear that he wouldn’t let me lower myself to
apologize for this matter. They’ll have to swallow the injustice, and Mia, you better understand your
place in the Cedillo family.”
“Fine, I know my place in my family, the Cedillo family, just you wait.” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
She left for the dinning room.
Recently, things were happening one after another at home, Bruce and Andre both hurried home right
after work.
Andre’s home schedule got more regular than it used to be. He never told anyone, but only he himself
knew that when he was not home during lunchtime these two days, he would feel very uneasy, and
even food tasted bland. He was constantly worried about how to handle it if Mia caused another
dispute in the family.
He often checked his phone while having lunch. Whenever a call from home came in, his heart would
beat faster than usual.
Bruce felt the same. When he left in the morning, he specifically told Naomi not to argue with Mia
again.
Naomi behaved very well in the first two days, but when she found out Hansen was more inclined
towards her, she started to get co cky, even wanting to insult Mia again.
