Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 34

Naomi stood her ground. “I’ll get it done.”

She sneered, “This newbie thinks she’s the queen of the Cedillo family. You’re right, I won’t let her get

away with it.”

“I’ll always have your back, Naomi.”

Just then, a servant knocked on the door, “Miss, Mr. Bruce is here to pick up his wife.”

“Honey!” Naomi exclaimed in excitement as she got up from Jillian’s bed and was about to walk out the

door.

Jillian deliberately held Naomi back, “Stay here tonight. We have a lot to talk about. I’ll tell my brother.

You shouldn’t keep letting Mia walk all over you.”

Naomi wanted to stay, but when she thought about her husband coming to pick her up, she felt she

should go see him; after all, it wasn’t their home. In the Marshals, she still had to respect her husband. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“I’m going to meet my husband and tell him my decision,” Naomi said.

Jillian looked worried, trembling as she said, “I’m afraid Mia might brainwash my brother. If you see

him, he might bully you.”

“You’re overthinking it, he won’t.”

Although she said this, Naomi couldn’t forget how her husband had hit her for Mia.

In the end, she went out. As soon as she appeared, Bruce had already stood up and said to

Brian, “I’ve overstayed my welcome tonight, Brian. We can discuss work matters tomorrow. It’s late,

and I’ll take Naomi home. My office door is always open to you, Brian.”

He didn’t give Naomi a chance to speak; he just went up and put his arm around Naomi’s shoulder,

reminding her to behave.

“I want to stay with Jillian tonight,” Naomi said.

Bruce said, “You’ll have plenty of time to chat with her later. It’s late, and staying over isn’t appropriate.

You can invite Jillian over to our place another day.”

He didn’t agree with his wife, nor did he give Brian Marshal a chance to keep them, he ushered Naomi

into the car.

Naomi wanted to get out of the car after getting in, but Bruce sternly warned her, “Naomi, don’t make

me say something unpleasant in front of others.”

He made sure his wife was seated, then drove off to the hotel. Knowing his wife was upset and didn’t

want to go home, he stayed with her at the hotel.

At the hotel, Naomi sat on the bed with her hands over her face, sobbing, “I’m the victim here.

Why is everyone siding with her?”

“You’re a grown woman, and you’re arguing with a child. Think about how much older you are than

Mia.”

“Yes, I’m older, I’m old. But I’m not as cun ning as her. Isn’t Mia trying to kick me out of the Cedillo

family and take over my position? I won’t let her.”

Bruce sat next to her, frowning, “Who told you Mia wants to be the matriarch of the Cedillo family?”

He was also involved in Andre and Mia’s marriage. Mia had deliberately made herself look ugly to

avoid marrying Andre. She was forced by her father to marry Bruce’s brother. Why would she want to

take over the Cedillo family?

There must be a misunderstanding.

Naomi and Bruce had been married for many years, and she had always been honest with him. So,

she told Bruce what Jillian had told her that day.

“… And you dare to say she’s young, and I should accommodate her? If I give in to her any further, my

son won’t have a place in the Cedillo family. Even though you’re the mayor and you’re in a high

position, is society still the same hereditary system as it used to be? Can you let Leo inherit your official

position and remain high and mighty forever? You can’t!”
