Chapter 41
Brendan's words left the Sabella family members visibly uneasy.
The maids exchanged knowing glances. There was finally someone dealing with their usually domineering and dismissive heiress, Madelyn.
Patrick's expression darkened as he faced Brendan. "Brendan, Naomi is your wife. She came to my house and caused a scene. You owe us an explanation. Otherwise, we won't let it slide easily."
Brendan turned to Naomi and said, "Starting a fight in someone else's house is indeed going too far. Next time, if you want to fight, do it outside."
His clear favoritism and protection of Naomi infuriated Clement. "Brendan, are you willing to go against the Sabella family just because of Naomi?"
Surveying the room, Brendan replied, "I'll compensate for the damaged items caused by Naomi, but the medical expenses are on you. When she attacked Bailey this afternoon, Bailey had to pay for her own medical treatment."
Brendan never suffered losses without any reason. While Naomi was at fault for the violence, the Sabella family should address Madelyn's ruthless actions first.
The mention of Bailey brought an unpleasant expression to the Sabella family's faces. They hadn't anticipated Naomi to stand up for Bailey in this manner.
Seeing Brendan's clear stance, Naomi turned and faced Madelyn. With a stern voice, she warned," Madelyn, if you dare to touch Bailey again, I'll make you pay the price."
Madelyn's face paled.
With that, Brendan ruffled Naomi's hair and questioned, "Have you vented enough? If you're done, we should head home."
What Brendan really meant was that he could continue to help Naomi manage the situation if she hadn't vented enough of her anger.
As Naomi was about to respond, Bailey, with her disheveled short hair, rushed in anxiously. She cried out,
"Naomil"
With Bailey's presence, Naomi glanced at Brendan and said, "We should go."
As soon as she reached Bailey, Naomi patted her on the back and said, "Everything's fine. Let's go back."
Bailey's eyes reddened instantly after seeing Madelyn all beaten up and the pale faces of the Sabella family.
Despite being born into the wealthy Jenkins family, Bailey's life hadn't been easy. Her only stroke of luck In this life was meeting and befriending Naomi.
Bailey's eyes welled up with tears. Naomi rubbed her head and assured her, "With me around, no one will dare to bully you."
"Alright. Let's go back."
As Brendan led them away, Madelyn fumed. "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, did I just get beaten by Naomi for nothing?"
Patrick gritted his teeth and hissed, "This matter between us and the Goodwin family isn't over."
Elaine added, "Let's wait until your brother returns."
Meanwhile, in the Maybach, Bailey held Naomi's hand and inquired "Didn't you say this matter was over?
"Why did you come to Madelyn's house without telling me? Luckily, sensed that something was wrong and called Brendan."
Bailey was not usually talkative. However, she spoke more than usual just then.
Naomi held Bailey's hand tighter and declared, "I won't let those who have I let hurt you off so easily, including Estelle and Pauline."
"Thank you, Naomi." Bailey was moved by her actions.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Just then, Brendan's phone suddenly rang.
