After stirring the pot, Jillian wiped away her tears, strutting off the balcony looking like the victim.
Out of Naomi’s sight, her face changed instantly. The eyes that were crying before were now filled with malice and her hands were clenched. She was determined to get Mia out of the Cedillo family. If it weren’t for Mia, why would Andre say those heartbreaking words to her today?
She knew Andre didn’t love her, but his words today were due to his sense of responsibility as a man. He was a married man, he had to keep a distance from her, even if it meant hurting her. The second reason was Hansen. It was definitely him who made Andre keep his distance from her.
Sitting in her car, Jillian gazed at the grand mansion of the Cedillo family, her eyes full of malice. She was going to use Naomi to stir up trouble, making life hell for the Cedillo family. She would make every day of their lives gloomy. She would make Mia leave, become despised by the Cedillo family, and make Hansen regret choosing Mia in the first place.
With this comparison, marrying into the Cedillo family would be a lot easier.
Jillian started the car, her eyes bulging with a fierce look, and left the Cedillo family.
At dinner, Mia followed the tradition of the Cedillo family, washing her hands before eating.
Naomi sat across from her and began to speak, "Today, Mrs. Moll and I went out and saw two dogs of very different statuses. One was a million-dollar pedigreed dog, the other a flea-ridden stray, giving off a foul smell."
After washing her hands, Mia sat next to Andre, waiting for what Naomi would say next.
"Mrs. Moll's pampered dog was hungry when we went out, so the servants always carry the finest dog food for it to eat. It ate with such elegance, that the stray dog saw and began to imitate. But it had never had dog food before, so what to do? Conveniently, there was a pile of feces nearby, so it copied the pampered dog and ate the feces. I found the dog's imitation strangely familiar, and I couldn't help but laugh."
Everyone in the dining room could feel Naomi's sarcasm. It was clear who she was targeting.
Andre looked at the quiet girl next to him, then at Naomi across the table, her gaze meeting his wife's.
"Funny enough, later I met the stray dog's owner. He looked just as scruffy and uncomfortable as the dog. I heard him call the dog's name, which sounded a lot like 'Mia.' I thought, this dog and Mia must be kindred spirits, and I even thought about buying it to give to Mia."
Mia understood Naomi's sarcasm and humiliation.
But Mia was not weak. She took a deep breath, met Naomi's piercing gaze, and said, "Naomi, your words are so cutting. You're a person, why do you want to be a noble slave to the Moll family? If you're happy being one, then be one. You think you're so high and mighty. We're all lucky to have someone like you."
Naomi slammed the table, pointed at Mia, and yelled angrily, "Mia, are you asking for trouble?"
If Naomi's words were suffocating, then Mia's words made people's anger explode, completely uncontrollable.
Andre was shocked by his young wife. He knew she was fearless, but he didn't expect her to be so bold as to insult Naomi in front of them all.
