He was all kinds of pissed, warning Naomi, "If I hear that kind of talk again, you'll have to deal with the consequences!"
As Bruce stormed off, Naomi broke down in tears. This was all because of Mia. If it weren't for Mia, her husband wouldn't be losing his temper with her! Mia was the reason Naomi’s husband was treating her like crap. Well, fine then, she wasn't going to play nice either.
Meanwhile, Mia was waiting for her husband down in the dining room. After what felt like forever, she didn't see Andre, but someone unexpected showed up - Jillian.
Spotting Jillian, Mia turned to Hansen in confusion, "Who's this?"
Hansen was in a foul mood, but due to the relationship between the Marshal and Cedillo families, he had to show respect to Jillian. He still managed to say, "Jillian, didn't expect to see you here. Have a seat."
Once Jillian entered the room, she immediately noticed Mia sitting next to Hansen. She’s the only unfamiliar face in the Cedillo family, and Jillian guessed at once that she was Andre's wife. Suppressing a smile, she sat on the couch and said, "Hi, I came to see Naomi."
"Then let Mia go and fetch her."
Hansen was a sharp guy. Even though Jillian had visited the Cedillo family many times, he'd never let her go upstairs. Her place was downstairs. His words always subtly hinted at his stance.
Letting Mia go fetch her was his way of telling Jillian, Mia was a part of the Cedillo family.
Mia quickly picked up on Hansen's hint. She stood saying, "I'll go get Naomi."
Hansen was pleased. He smiled and nodded, "Go ahead, kiddo."
