Chapter 53
Chapter 53 Chaos broke out at Naomi’s claim. “Naomi, please stop your nonsense. Dad was the one who bought this necklace. He gave the Ocean Start o my mom as a gift to represent their love.” Clarissa knew that her actions would cause Naomi to overreact. She deliberately played the part of the victim and spoke in a pitiful manner. Anyway, no one in the hall would know how they had obtained the Ocean Star. She could just make up any story that she liked. Lilian waited for her chance to provoke Naomi. “That’s right. Naomi, your dad had bought the necklace for me. I can do as I like with it, including auctioning it. You should sit down. Don’t embarrass your father!” Lilian’s words only added fuel to the fire. “Try saying that again!” Naomi gritted her teeth in anger. She hated how Clarissa and Lilian blatantly lied in public. “How can you both be so shameless! Do you seriously think you deserve the Ocean Star?”
“Enough!” Scott stood up with a cold face and shouted loudly at Naomi. “I gave Lilian this to represent our love. Naomi, stop embarrassing us! You should leave. Now!” “How dare you?! Why are you helping them lie?!” Naomi stared at Scott in disbelief. She was so heartbroken, she felt as if her heart had been crushed to pieces! She lowered her head in sadness. A single teardrop fell from the corner of her eye. She used to think that Scott might still have some feelings for her late mother. It turned out that this was yet another foolish dream! “You’re the one who lied and caused trouble!” Scott was frustrated by Naomi’s accusation. He roared louder to conceal his guilt. The guests looked at Naomi with disgust in their eyes and quietly spoke ill of her. Sherry took the chance
to mock Naomi. “Naomi, you said the necklace is your mom’s. Is your mom’s name on it? You’re just a clown!” “Yeah, that’s right! You should just get out! Don’t ruin the mood here!” Clarissa smiled proudly. She raised her chin victoriously and gave Naomi a smug look. “Naomi, you should just go home. Don’t ruin the event.’ “Ha” Naomi gave her a bitter smile full of grievance. She faced the crowd’s accusations, ridicule, and contempt like a lone warrior. Jack quietly watched as Naomi’s tears rolled silently down her cheeks. Tsk… Why did the sight of her tears disgust him? Why did he feel so uncomfortable when he saw her cry? Jack pursed his lips tightly. He wanted to stand up for her. Just when he was about to get up, Naomi suddenly spoke. “Yes. The necklace has my mom’s name on it!” she announced coldly. Naomi pushed the chair away and walked toward Clarissa. She exuded a strong, intimidating aura. The people around her subconsciously parted for her. “You… What do intend to do?” Clarissa took a few steps back in shock. She was so scared that her voice trembled a little. “I’ve already warned all of you before: Never touch my mom’s belongings. Well, it seems like you’re not willing to listen. In that case, you’ll need to pay the price!” “This has never belonged to your mom!” Clarissa shouted loudly because of her guilt. Naomi snorted and took out her phone. On it was an old news story. The paper was in English. “Please look up the origins of the Ocean Star before you lie! This was part of Cezanne’s president’s personal collection! He gave it to my mom because my mom, Rachel Shaw, helped him before! Not only did he give it to her but he also personally carved her name into it! This made breaking news back then.” “Wha… What?!” Clarissa’s face turned ashen. Lost, she turned to Lilian.
Lilian, being more experienced, was calmer than her daughter. She pulled on an expression of anger and began to reprimand Naomi. “Naomi, please do not spread fake news in an effort to fool people. Are your claims true? Is there somebody that can prove it?” “There is!” As soon as Lilian had cast doubt on Naomi’s claim, someone stood up for her. Lucy stood and turned up the volume of the speakers on her phone to its highest volume. The president’s angry voice could be heard from the phone.
