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's half-brother, threatened Naomi as he left, "Six million. Not a penny less. If you don't bring the money, then don't blame me for hurting your son. Without Leo, you'll have no child in your life." Naomi was trembling with rage
against the wall, steadying herself. She leaned against the window, tears streaming down her face. She balled her hand into a fist and slammed it against the window. Seeing this, Mia felt a pang of sympathy. Just as she was about to step out, Andre pulled her away. Mia looked back at Naomi's lonely figure, and let Andre lead
