The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 121: Birthday
"Mom, what are we eating tonight?"As always, Naomi picked Lily up from school and brought her home.The second they walked in, Lily bolted straight for the kitchen, eager to see what was cooking. Finding it empty, she came racing back out to ask.Facing Lily's wide, hopeful eyes, Naomi couldn't help but laugh.She crossed the room, smoothed a hand over Lily's slightly tousled hair, and crouched down to her level. "How about we go to Grandpa's for dinner tonight?""Grandpa?" Lily tilted her head. "The Sinclairs?"Naomi nodded, something uncertain creeping into her tone. "Yeah. If you'd rather not, that's totally fine too."She'd been so consumed with rebuilding her career lately, she worried she'd been neglecting Lily.Kids picked up on more than adults gave them credit for, and Lily had always been the type to quietly sacrifice her own wants rather than make a fuss.That was exactly the kind of pattern Naomi refused to let take root.To her surprise, something unusually serious settl
The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 120: I Owe You Too Much
The question snapped Ethan back into focus.He cleared his throat and nodded fast. "Of course I'm listening. I've got it, I'll have the team start on the project within the week.""The Catalina land's going to need monitoring throughout. You brought Lily out there to recover before, didn't you? Why don't we go together this time? Handle the official work myself. You could bring Lily and Julian, make it a real vacation."Naomi's brow furrowed instantly.Something suspicious crept into her expression as she studied Ethan."Ethan. Do you not understand how wasteful that suggestion is?" Something in Naomi's chest dimmed further.She genuinely wondered, in that moment, how she'd ever fallen for this man in the first place, how she'd poured seven years into someone like this.Was he really the one who pulled me out of that water all those years ago?"I won't be joining the site inspection. I'm the client on this deal. Just submit your reports to me directly. Beyond that, I'd prefer we keep
The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 119: Naomi Is the Sinclair Heiress?
Naomi reached down, freed the hem of her sleeve from Julian's grip, and walked out fast."Julian, you're free to go find Chloe and let her play mom now."That one line left both father and son visibly stricken.Neither of them had a single word to say back.Naomi shot them both a cold, final look and strode out of the Blackwood estate.She genuinely didn't want to spend another second in that house. If it weren't for the old man, she'd never have set foot there at all. Rotten luck, all around."I'll drive you home." Ethan caught up behind her.Right then, Marcus called, and Naomi gave him her location."Don't bother, Ethan. Someone's already coming."Ethan dug in stubbornly, scrambling for something to keep the conversation alive, until he caught the flat, unreadable set of Naomi's profile and lost his nerve entirely.He still couldn't figure out how she'd found out about the proposal to Chloe.He couldn't understand how, either, given how carefully they'd both covered their tracks.A
The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 118: You're Genuinely Ruthless
The old man slid the transfer paperwork back toward her.Naomi's stomach dropped slightly. She turned the offer over in her head, searching for whatever motive sat underneath it.She'd married into this family, and the old man had always treated her decently, but at the end of the day, he and Ethan were the actual bloodline here.Is this really just compensation? No strings?Ten percent of a company this size wasn't pocket change. Handed over this freely, with nothing asked in return?He'd framed it as trust, that he wasn't worried about her using it against the family. But how many hidden clauses might actually be buried in paperwork like this?If she accepted it, she'd need Nathan to comb through every line first.As if reading the wariness on her face, the old man spoke, something wistful in his tone. "Naomi, don't take this as some kind of trick. Think of this ten percent as buying peace between you and Ethan."The subtext was clear enough, take the money, let the grievances go, a
The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 117: Blackwood Shares
Old Mr. Blackwood was the one person left in that family Naomi still felt any real guilt toward.Thinking back to the video Sebastian had shown her, something cold settled over her expression.She'd actually been meaning to ask the old man about everything that had happened years ago, and gauge, quietly, whether he'd known the truth all along.If he was in on itThen he was complicit too.She respected him deeply. She genuinely hoped that wasn't the case."Where's Grandpa right now?" Naomi asked.Reading the shift, Ethan understood she'd caved.A rare smile crossed his mouth. "At the estate. I'll take you now."This time, Naomi didn't refuse.Ethan shot Sebastian a pointed look, laced with quiet territorial edge. "Mr. Cole, I'll take Naomi to see my grandfather. I'll get her home after. No need to trouble you further."The implication was clear enough, you can leave now.Sebastian understood exactly what that meant.His eyes cut to Naomi, waiting.Does she want me gone too?Catching h
The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 116: No Interest in Personal Payback
The employees exchanged confused glances at the explanation.Fair enough, I guess. Not totally implausible."Alright, everyone, back to work." Naomi cut through the awkward energy, steering things back on track.She'd taken the job specifically to stay low-key, the last thing she wanted was to become the office's main topic of conversation.The crowd dispersed slowly back to their desks, and Naomi began settling into her new role at Cole Enterprises.By evening, the office had mostly emptied out.Naomi stayed behind, working through three years' worth of Cole's architectural department archives.Once she was the only one left, she finally stood to head out toward the competition venue.A low voice sounded behind her. "Someone's got you working overtime?"Naomi recognized Sebastian's voice instantly and turned. "No, just wanted to get a better feel for the department."Sebastian nodded, thoughtful. "Did you drive here? Need a ride?"Naomi opened her mouth to decline, not wanting to tro
