“I understand.”

Sebastian Cole nodded and took the two invitations from his grandfather’s hand.

He had been worrying about how to get closer to Naomi. Now his grandfather had handed him the perfect reason.

This time, he would not let the opportunity slip away.

“Go on, then. Get busy,” Old Master Cole said, waving him off.

Once the study door closed, the old man was alone.

He could not wait a second longer. He pulled out his phone and started a video call to the group chat of the three o

  • The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress   Chapter 221: The Boy Who Let His Mother Go

    A moment later, Julian Blackwood arrived at the hospital room, shoved the door open, and rushed inside.“Mom! What’s wrong with you?”He carefully climbed onto the edge of the bed and stared at Naomi’s pale, lifeless face. Tears streamed down his cheeks without warning. Hot drops landed on the back of her hand. Julian wiped them away in a panic, whispering frantic apologies.Then his gaze snagged on the unfamiliar man standing beside Ethan Blackwood. Julian frowned, searching his memory, until recognition hit. He turned and looked straight at Sebastian Cole.“You like my mother, right? Why don’t you marry her? Why don’t you protect her? If you can’t make her happy, you don’t deserve to like her.”Sebastian, who had been ignoring the father and son entirely, froze.Is the boy talking to me?When Sebastian stayed silent, Julian marched over on short, determined legs until he stood right in front of him. “If my mommy marries you, will you always be good to her and Lily? Take care of them

  • The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress   Chapter 220: Ruin Comes to the Village

    Ethan Blackwood met the two of them on the muddy road at the village entrance.Naomi staggered, her clothes torn and stained, her face pale with exhaustion. Beside her, Sebastian Cole kept a steadying arm around her, the two of them leaning on each other as if the world had narrowed to that single point of contact.Possessiveness slammed through Ethan before he could stop it.He braked hard, shoved the door open, and pulled Sebastian aside without a word. His eyes stayed locked on Naomi. “Naomi. Are you all right? I’m sorry I’m late.”He knew exactly where he stood. She despised him. Any soft word from him would only harden her further. Still, the calculation ran cold and clear in his mind: Sebastian was a man, and men understood favors. Help him now, and perhaps a debt would be owed later. More importantly if Ethan could not touch her, no other man would either.He hadn’t even realized, until that moment, that as her ex-husband he was jealous simply watching her lean on someone else.

    At the same time, the Sinclair residence.Nathan Sinclair stood alone by the window of the dimly lit room, keeping watch over Old Mr. Sinclair, who remained unconscious on the IV drip. His tall frame was rigid, eyes fixed on the distant horizon, filled with restless anxiety.His hand drifted toward the cigarette pack in his pocket and closed around the lighter. He almost lit it. Almost. Then he slipped both back into his pocket without a sound.“I don’t know how things are going over there,” he muttered under his breath. “Marcus… have you found Naomi yet?”Outside the door, small footsteps approached at a run.“Uncle Nathan!”Lily Blackwood’s clear child’s voice cut through the silence. Nathan spun around, lighter and cigarettes vanishing from sight as he turned to face the doorway.“Lily? What are you doing here?”He glanced once more at the old man on the bed, then strode to the door and gently steered the little girl farther down the hallway. “What’s wrong?”Lily’s gaze flicked pas

    Seeing that things had come to this, Vivian still refused to tell the truth.Disappointment flashed in Derek Sinclair’s eyes.“Since you don’t want to tell me, I won’t force you. I only hope you can bear the consequences of this matter.”After finishing speaking, Derek turned around and was about to leave.Watching Derek walk toward the gate step by step, Vivian felt her psychological defenses begin to collapse.Finally, at the moment when Derek was about to step out the door, she hurriedly called out, “Second brother, I have something to say!”At least she still had a place to stay now.If the matter was really exposed, let alone remaining in Crestview, she was afraid she would not even be able to see Derek again in the future.Derek stopped, turned around, and looked at Vivian coldly.“Go ahead.”At the same time, in the village.Sebastian Cole used brute force to break the iron chain on Naomi Sinclair’s ankle.“I’ll take you back.”Looking at Sebastian’s serious face, Naomi felt an

  • The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress   Chapter 217: Locked In Together

    The moment the words left Julian’s mouth, Ethan Blackwood’s expression shifted.He turned to Chloe with a frown. “What exactly did you mean by that?”Something Mr. Blackwood had said in the study earlier flashed through his mind. Ethan’s face darkened. “Chloe… is Naomi’s disappearance connected to you?”“What? Mom is missing?” Julian’s voice cracked with pure shock. His small face drained of color. “Dad, why are you just standing there? Send people to look for her right now!”He still hadn’t had the chance to make things right with his mother.His glare locked onto Chloe. “It’s all because of you, you bad woman! You’re the reason Mom disappeared!”In the space of a few sentences, father and son had painted her as the villain.Chloe’s face went white. Her fingers curled tight. “I didn’t do anything. Naomi’s disappearance has nothing to do with me!”“Whether it does or not,” Ethan said flatly, “I’ll have people look into it. We’ll know soon enough.”He took Julian’s hand and led him ups

  • The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress   Chapter 216: A Brick Under the Quilt, a Slip at the Table

    If a woman refused to obey, she did not stay the property of one man for long. She was passed around the village until she broke.Boys might be kept. Girls were another matter entirely.None of the women wanted to become a shared toy or a baby-making machine. So they chose the smaller cage.“Better one man than the whole village,” someone said quietly.Naomi felt the words settle like ice in her stomach. Her determination to leave only hardened.She already knew these women would never stand with her. The best she could do was gather whatever information might later become a bargaining chip or a map.“Once you accepted it,” she asked carefully, “did any of you ever leave this place?”The room went still. Every gaze turned toward a soft-faced woman sitting in the corner. Before Naomi arrived, she had been the prettiest girl in the village.Aware of the attention, the woman spoke slowly. “I went to the nearest town once. A very long car ride. They kept me blindfolded the entire wa
