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.
"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.
