Luna had just set her phone on the table when Naomi's phone rang.
Naomi urgently picked up the call when she saw the name flashing on the screen.
The second the call connected, her mother's urgent voice came through.
“Naomi, where are you right now?”
“I'm having coffee with my friends, Mom. What's wrong?”
A sense of uneasiness rose within her at her mother's nervous tone. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“It's nothing. Since you're with your friends, you might as well stay at their place for a couple of days. Don't be in a rush to come home.”
The uneasiness Naomi felt turned into apprehension at her mother's suggestion.
“Mom, did something happen at home? Did the people from the Sunderland family come to our house again?” Naomi asked urgently.
They spoke for a few more minutes before hanging up.
A grim expression crossed Naomi's face as she set her phone down.
Luna and Michelle witnessed Naomi's change in expression when she was on the call with her mother. “What happened, Naomi?” they questioned worriedly.
“The Sunderland family hired a group of delinquents to wreck my family's mall. As a result, many of our security guards suffered grave injuries.”
Naomi explained the situation to her best friends with a bleak look.
“Let me check my livestream.”
Hearing what happened to Naomi's family, Michelle immediately logged into her livestream account.
“My account has been suspended!” Michelle exclaimed somberly a minute later.
“It seems Owen won't rest until he gets what he wants. Oh no! Doesn't that mean he also sent someone to trash my clinic? No, this won't do. I have to go back and check on it.”
Jitters filled Luna at that thought.
She needed to go back and check on her clinic.
Naomi and Michelle also decided to leave with her.
Yet, Owen's voice sounded from behind them as they got to their feet.
“So the three of you are here. I had a hard time looking for you. Did you receive the gifts I sent?”
Head wrapped in a bandage, and with the help of his lackeys, Owen limped toward the corner booth the women sat at.
“You! What do you want, Owen?” Naomi asked through gritted teeth as she pointed at Owen.
Michelle and Luna also shot daggers at Owen.
“What do I want? Haven't I already told you from the start? I want the three of you to apologize to me at the hotel. Otherwise, everything you've suffered up until now will just be the beginning,” Owen threatened. “Michelle, I'm your biggest fan. I'm the one who always showers you with gifts, yet this is how you treat me? I'll give you a chance now to come to my side. I can give you everything your heart desires if you choose me.”
When the three women didn't show signs of wavering, Owen decided to break them down one by one, starting with Michelle, with whom he was most familiar.
“I...”
Michelle began to hesitate at Owen's offer.
“I'll give you three minutes to think about it. If you can't decide by then, I'll take it that you're against me. You're well aware of my methods. Suspending your account was only the first step. Next, I'll ban you from showing your face on every social media platform. Don't even doubt my ability,” he threatened further. Glee filled Owen when he noticed Michelle's hesitation.
Michelle paled at his threat. “Wait, Mr. Sunderland! I'm willing to follow you if you let me off the hook,” she urgently agreed to Owen's offer.
