Chapter 57

Just then, Jennifer came out of the kitchen and said, "Mr. Ludwig, dinner is ready."

Brendan looked at Chloe and said, "Let's eat."

Chloe's gaze was still fixed on Naomi.

"Naomi, have you had dinner yet? Let's eat together!"

Naomi halted in her steps on her way upstairs and looked at Chloe.

"Chloe, since Brendan brought you back to Yellowind Bay, it means you hold a significant place in his heart. Instead of thinking about how to deal with me, why not focus more on winning him over?" Since Brendan wasn't openly acknowledging their relationship, she could still exchange some harsh words. But now that Brendan had returned with Chloe, if she still thought of herself as Mrs. Ludwig, it would weaken her own position.

She was about to leave but stopped to remind them, "By the way, make sure you leave enough evidence."

With that, she went upstairs.

In the living room, Brendan stood with his hands in his pockets. His face looked extremely grim.

Naomi's reaction seemed to hit him like a heavy punch to a soft cushion.

Chloe stole a glance at him. Seeing that he remained silent, she refrained from speaking as well.

Half an hour later, Chloe followed Brendan to the master bedroom upstairs. She became flustered when she heard him suggest that she spend the night there.

"Brendan, this isn't a good idea! Do you have any misunderstandings with Naomi? If there are any misunderstandings, you should go and explain it. Women like to hear sweet words-a little coaxing will do the trick."

Brendan ignored Chloe. He walked over to the bedside cabinet and found a camera hidden inside a flower vase. Then, he proceeded to replace several more cameras from various places.

Watching Brendan toss the hidden cameras onto the coffee table, Chloe's face turned pale, and she

dared not move..

Naomi had just finished showering in the guest bedroom when the maid knocked on her door in a flutter. Naomi let her in, and the maid hurriedly reported, "Mrs. Ludwig, Mr. Ludwig has found the cameras and

removed all of them."

Naomi replied calmly, "I know, You can continue with your tasks."

Once the maid left, Naomi opened her computer, and the live feed from the master bedroom appeared on

her screen.

On the other side of the camera, Brendan was busy working while Chloe sat in front of the vanity table. Chapter 57

She hadn't dared to lie on the bed or touch any of Naomi's belongings. Maybe because she hadn't slept enough the night before, Chloe drifted off briefly at the vanity table. Seeing Chloe asleep, Brendan gazed ahead blankly for a while, then put down his work. He grabbed a thin blanket that they had never used before and casually draped it over her. He then walked over to the bookshelf and opened a book. From inside, Brendan took out an old group

photo.

Brendan's every move was observed by Naomi.

When Brendan pulled out the photo from the book, Naomi couldn't help but pause for a moment. That photo should be seven or eight years old, if she remembered correctly. Why did Brendan keep that photo? Who was he concerned about in the picture?

Watching her room from a third-

person perspective and seeing the photo in Brendan's hands, Naomi suddenly realized that she and Brendan had been married for so long, but they had never taken any wedding photos or even had a picture t Brendan looked at the photo for a long while. Naomi exited the surveillance feed to rest.

In the quiet night, although Naomi was asleep, she felt uneasy. Even in her dreams, she felt like someone was following her and spying on her. A feeling of discomfort and sleep paralysis suddenly woke Naomi
