“Old Mr. Blackwood, do you have to be so cruel?” Chloe Bennett’s voice trembled with barely restrained anger. “What exactly makes me inferior to Naomi Hart?”

She still could not understand it. Naomi had been nothing more than a divorced woman carrying baggage, someone who had spent years grinding herself into dust for the Foley family until she was little more than a glorified nanny. What was so special about her?

  • The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress   Chapter 181: Love Over Time

    “Old Mr. Blackwood, do you have to be so cruel?” Chloe Bennett’s voice trembled with barely restrained anger. “What exactly makes me inferior to Naomi Hart?”She still could not understand it. Naomi had been nothing more than a divorced woman carrying baggage, someone who had spent years grinding herself into dust for the Foley family until she was little more than a glorified nanny. What was so special about her?Or was it simply that Old Mr. Blackwood had grown too used to having Naomi under his roof?Now that Ethan Blackwood had divorced her and Naomi had left the Blackwood estate for good, the old man could no longer stand the absence of his former caretaker. Was that why he treated Naomi differently?The more Chloe thought about it, the more the pieces seemed to fit. Ethan’s recent change in attitude suddenly made sense.Her expression softened slightly.“You?” Old Mr. Blackwood let out a cold, mocking laugh, as though he had just heard the most ridiculous joke of his life. “You

  • The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress   Chapter 180: Naomi Hart Is the Blackwood Family’s Daughter-in-Law

    “Derek,” Nathan Sinclair said, the corner of his mouth twisting with reluctant acceptance, “what Vivian did this time isn’t some petty family quarrel. It’s a real crime. Marcus and I are only doing what’s reasonable. You already knew the truth yesterday, didn’t you?”Derek’s face flushed with shame. After learning the full extent of Vivian’s actions the day before, he had sworn he would no longer pity her. Yet the moment she had thrown herself at his feet, sobbing and pleading, that resolve had cracked.Marcus Sinclair’s voice cut through the silence, cold and final. “If Naomi hadn’t been lucky, she would still be in the emergency room right now. Do you want her to look at you with disappointment?”The words landed like a blade. Derek’s expression hardened. The last trace of hesitation vanished, replaced by grim determination.Vivian’s eyes widened. “Second Brother, you”She could see it clearly now. Derek was choosing Naomi over her.“Are you really going to stop treating me as your

  • The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress   Chapter 179: Is It Too Serious

    Naomi Hart hesitated, her fingers curling tightly against the edge of the armchair.Old Mr. Blackwood’s condition demanded daily acupuncture. There was no denying that. Yet the idea of moving back into the Blackwood estate with her children after the divorce felt wrong on every level. No woman with any sense of propriety would return to her ex-husband’s home under those circumstances.Ethan Blackwood watched her carefully. “Grandfather has always regarded you as his own granddaughter,” he said, voice low and steady. “Even without anything remaining between us, you are still family to him. Living here would not be improper.”Naomi’s gaze drifted. He was not entirely wrong. Still, she was engaged to Sebastian Cole. The thought of him made her chest tighten. Lately his attention had been elsewhere on Vera Ashford. The realization left a bitter taste.She was on the verge of telling herself she would simply inform Sebastian that she needed to stay overnight for unavoidable reasons when a

  • The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress   Chapter 178: When Will You Learn Acupuncture?

    Old Mr. Blackwood was truly ill.“Ethan, I need to speak with Grandpa alone. Please step outside.”Naomi’s tone left no room for argument.Ethan opened his mouth, then closed it again. He had finally managed to keep her at the Blackwood residence a little longer. The last thing he wanted was to push her away now.He gave a short nod and left the room.The moment the door shut, the air grew heavy.“Naomi… thank you for coming to see me.”The words came out too forcefully. Old Mr. Blackwood broke into a harsh coughing fit.Naomi gently patted the back of his hand. “Grandpa, I already told you. No matter what happens between Ethan and me, you will always be my family.”“Good child.”His eyes turned red.Naomi reached into her bag and took out a slim needle case. Her expression turned serious. “Grandpa, will you trust me?”“What do you mean?” Confusion flickered across the old man’s face.She drew out several fine silver needles. “I know a little acupuncture. It can ease the symptoms of h

  • The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress   Chapter 177: Give In

    Sebastian Cole lowered his head and stayed silent.“Grandpa, I…” The words stuck in his throat.One woman was the one he loved. The other had once saved his life. No matter how carefully he tried to balance the two, someone was going to get hurt.All he could do now was keep both sides calm and search for a solution that wouldn’t destroy everything.Besides, Vera Ashford had been the one to bring up working at the company.If the debt between them was real, arranging a simple position shouldn’t have been this difficult.“What are you thinking about?”Old Mr. Cole’s sharp gaze cut through the silence. Disappointment darkened his features.A man who had always been decisive and unyielding now stood there hesitating?Had Sebastian been hiding his true feelings all this time?“Grandpa, the relationship between Vera and me is simple. I took her in… because there are still too many unanswered questions between us.”Sebastian watched the old man’s expression carefully before continuing. “But

  • The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress   Chapter 176: Do You Have to Keep Her by Your Side?

    The butler moved the instant Old Mr. Sinclair swayed, steadying the elderly man with practiced care. Together they descended the wide staircase of the Sinclair mansion. Three figures had just stepped through the front doors.“Grandpa, we’re back.”Marcus Sinclair’s voice was calm as he greeted the two men coming down. Old Mr. Sinclair’s nod was cool. His sharp gaze landed on Vivian’s ashen face, and understanding settled in his eyes.So Marcus’s plan had worked.“What happened?” the old man asked, though he already knew.Marcus and Nathan exchanged a glance. In low, measured tones they recounted every detail of the afternoon. When they finished, Old Mr. Sinclair’s expression did not change.“Since the Paige family wants her,” he said indifferently, “send her over.”He spoke as though disposing of something trivial.Vivian’s pupils shrank. She had never imagined he would be so ruthless.“Grandpa… I’ve lived in this family for so many years. Are you truly going to hand me over to the Pa
