Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 253

Andre frowned, murmuring, "Cut Naomi some slack, will ya?"

Only then did Mia realize it was Naomi's worst moment. She cared about her dignity so much, and being seen at her most vulnerable would sting.

Andre's little firecracker calmed down in his arms. Worried that Mia would lose her cool again, Andre held her tight, restricting her movements. The couple eavesdropped from the corner.

"Naomi." The guy said, "I raised you. I'm your old man, so you should be caring for me. I was in the hospital, and you didn't visit. You sent Leo instead. Are you trying to ditch me? If you push me, I'm capable of camping out in front of City Hall, letting everyone see how the Mayor's wife treats her own father."

Naomi gritted her teeth, her hand balled into a fist, "My husband's family is here. If you dare lay a finger on me again, neither my husband nor my son will let you off."

Ellory glared at Naomi, "What's your status in the Marshal family? You should be grateful that I married you into the Cedillo family. Now that you're living the good life, have you forgotten about your own father?"

Seeing her sister-in-law being bullied, Mia couldn't stand it, "Honey, let me go. I need to teach that old man a lesson."

She had a knife in her bag. Now, she planned to use it.

Andre held her back, "Stay put." He was watching the scene unfold.

Naomi was also getting mad, "What do you want?"

Ellory exchanged glances with the man beside him, "You should give me a million for my retirement. Your brother has gotten into trouble. He needs five million. I want to see this six million tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll make a scene at City Hall."

Naomi said, "Six million? I don't have that much money."

The man beside Ellory, who looked to be in his thirties, retorted, "Who's gonna buy that you’re claiming to be broke? You're the daughter-in-law of the Cedillo family. Don't they give you gifts on New Year's? Cut the crap, or I’ll be physical."

Naomi looked at the man, "Kyle, I don't work. I live off my husband. The money the Cedillo family gives me, I keep it for my son. You want it? Just dream on."

Naomi may not be the most attentive mother, but she knew what she should leave for her son. When someone tried to touch her son's interests, she would definitely fight back.

Naomi told them, "You should be satisfied. We live our own lives, seperately. If you keep bothering me, my husband's family will definitely not let you off. Thirteen years ago, they could beat you to a pulp. They still can today."

Ellory scoffed, "Back then, you were carrying a Cedillo baby. Do you still think you can do that today? At the banquet just now, I seee Andre has already married someone. They no longer care about you. You're still trying to get close to Mia, butter her up. You've lost your status in the Cedillo family, haven't you? You might as well take this opportunity to cozy up to your brother, lest you get kicked out by Mia and end up on the streets."
