Naomi's mind went blank.
How is this possible. Lucas is not my brother?
She could not believe that the brother she had always relied on—who supported and protected her all the time like a mountain on her back—was not related to her by blood.
Does that mean Ashlyn will cut off our relationship from now on? Because I will not be her true sister-in-law anymore.
Tears streamed down her cheeks like shooting stars.
She cried her heart out. However, her tears could not seem to bear the enormous sadness filling her heart at the moment.
“Three hundred million! No one can take it in your stead! Tonight, you must listen to me and spend the night with Mr. Zimmerman!” Livia patted her face before standing up with a proud face.
As she finished her words, a cold voice sounded behind her. “I will take the three hundred million for her!”
The room door opened, revealing a tall, sturdy man. He kicked the black-suited man guarding the door away and stepped into the room.
The man was wearing all black and had a grim look on his cold face. “Dad, Mom, is this why you come here—to put pressure on Naomi? What benefit will you get from doing that? Mr. Zimmerman is sixty years old this year. He's old enough to be Naomi's grandfather. How could you ask Naomi to spend a night with him? You're putting her in utter danger!”
“Lucas, who do you think you are? Let me tell you. If not for the Nolan family, you're only a nobody! You're just an abandoned pawn! You're rubbish thrown away from the family by that man!” Livia's face darkened. The contempt toward Lucas in her eyes was suffocating.
“All these years, the Nolan family has educated you and handed over Nolan Group to you. Does that make you think you're the God-chosen one?” she continued.
Naomi could not hear what Livia was talking about. She could only see Livia's mouth opening and closing continuously.
Lucas' stood in front of Naomi with his back facing her; his tall figure was blocking her sight.
She did not know what Lucas had said. There was nothing but silence left in her world, so quiet that she was on the verge of a breakdown.
She lost control of her mind and wanted to die.
