ALL of a sudden, the scenes from that night vaguely flashed through Brian’s mind.
“Yes, I saw it. I thought it was Eleanor’s, so I gave it back to her.”
“Well, it’s mine, I wore it since I was a child, and I’ve taken it back. Do you still not believe me?”
Rosalynn asked flatly.
Brian looked at Rosalynn and said, “I trust you.”
She had no reason to deceive him, It was only natural for him to have faith in her.
However, her confession came a bit too late, leaving him with a lingering unease.
When Rosalynn mentioned the pendant, Selina couldn’t help but panic.
But when she remembered that she had taken away the jade pendant, a wave of relief washed over
her,
Unable to openly confront Eleanor’s tragic end, Selina decided to provoke Noemi and stir up trouble for
Rosalynn instead.
Selina cast a sidelong glance at Noemi, a cunning idea forming in her mind.
“It appears there is more to this story than we know. Eleanor’s actions might not deserve sympathy

After a pause, she continued, “However, I suspect Eleanor did what she did out of envy for Rosalynn’s
ability to capture Brian’s heart. After all, there are very few men like Brian in the world who are faithful
and devoted to one woman.”
By deliberately showering praise on Rosalynn and Brian’s relationship, Selina hoped to redirect
Noemi’s sensitive emotions squarely onto Rosalyn.
Noemi had never liked Rosalynn. Therefore, she didn’t want her son to love her.
As expected, Noemi’s expression changed.
“Brian, you haven’t answered the question I asked earlier, I’ll ask you again. Are you going to divorce
her?”
Brian stood tall, a hint of impatience and helplessness flashing in his eyes.
He softened his tone, saying, “Mom, the most important thing right now is your well-being. Let’s not
dwell on anything else.”
Although he didn’t say it clearly, it was evident that Brian didn’t want to get a divorce.
Noemi understood what he meant, and her eyes welled up with tears.
“I know you have always resented me for abandoning you. You grew up without a mother’s love, nearly
losing your life at one point. So, you prefer Rosalynn over me. In that case, you should leave. You are
not my son anymore.”
Her voice trembled with sadness.
Looking at her reddened eyes, Brian furrowed his brow and asked, “Mom, what are you saying?”
“I told you to leave. Didn’t you hear me?” Noemi sobbed, “I’m such a failure. My husband cheated on
me, and my son doesn’t understand me. My life is nothing but a cruel joke!”
Frustration and despair flickered in her eyes.
Her eyes darted towards the nearby table. She pushed aside the covers, clambered out of bed, and
headed towards it.
Rosalynn had been observing the scene coldly and noticed the madness in Noemi’s eyes.

Rosalynn’s heart leaped in her chest. She watched in shock as Noemi hurried to the table, snatched up
the knife, and was about to cut her wrist.
“Mom Brian’s expression changed abruptly, and he bolted towards Noemi.
Rosalynn, being closer, reached Noemi first and firmly held her trembling wrist.
The knife clattered to the floor.
“Mom, what on earth are you doing?” Brian’s face darkened as he held onto her.
Startled and slow to react, Deanna rushed forward with tears streaming down her face.
“What are you doing, Mom? Have you forgotten that you still have a daughter? You might not want your
son, but do you still care about your daughter?”
Tears streamed down Noemi’s cheeks. She turned her gaze to Deanna and embraced her tightly as
she sobbed, her eyes heavy with sorrow.
Selina was also taken aback by the turn of events.
She looked over at Rosalynn, who stood composed amidst the chaos, and said, “Rosalyn, maybe you
should leave for now just in case you unintentionally upset Noemi again.”
