Chapter 368 The Scotts Are in Trouble

Naomi lowered her gaze, looking dejected.

Marcus, who was standing right beside her, noticed and comforted her immediately.

“Don’t worry, Naomi. We won’t accept someone from the countryside like her. How can she compare to you?

“Chad and Mason said so themselves. No one would accept her in their circle. She’s nothing but a joke.

Naomi’s head jerked up at that. “Marcus, don’t ever say that in front of Grandpa Fabian.”

“Great-Uncle Fabian is playing favorites.” Marcus pouted. “Was I wrong? I was just stating facts. If my grandpa were in charge, he would never let that bumpkin into the family.”

“Marcus! How can you

Naomi looked behind Marcus and grew angry say that? That’s your cousin you’re talking about. Even if outsiders call her a bumpkin, you shouldn’t!”

“Naomi, why are you still siding with her? Why is it that Great-Uncle Fabian is driving you out as soon as she returns?

“Mason thought about it carefully and concluded that that woman must have said something to Great-Uncle Fabian. She’s already jealous of you before even stepping into this house!”

Shane’s brows were furrowing deeper. “Marcus, don’t trust rumors blindly when you haven’t even met Sevie. Can’t you think for yourself?”

His displeasure was evident from his darkened expression. “She

doesn’t even know of Naomi’s existence. How can she be jealous?”

Marcus was unabashed even after being reprimanded. “Think about it,

Uncle Shane. Does she really not know? Great-Uncle Fabian would

have told her.

“Why else is Great-Uncle Fabian not letting you meet her when it’s

been so many days? It must be that bumpkin sowing discord!”

Shane clenched his fists slightly. “Enough!”

“Shane, there’s a better way to discipline a grown adult.”

Right then, Declan walked over and delivered a hard slap across

Marcus’ ch*ek.

Marcus was stunned, his eyes widening in disbelief. “Grandpa?”

His grandfather had always doted on him. How could he hit him?

Declan glanced at Naomi before shifting his gaze back at Marcus.

He shifted his gaze to his adopted daughter. “Don’t worry, Naomi.

Grandpa has a temper, but he won’t kick you out.”

Naomi sniffled. “Grandpa won’t even see me these days. It’s not really

a big deal. I can leave the family. I’m just worried about Grandpa’s

health.”

Shane was moved. “There, there. I’ll talk some sense into him. It’s the

Scotts that is the problem. They’re absolutely wicked!”

Shane was furious about the rumors they created about Sevie. How

dare they call her a bumpkin? She was his daughter!

“You don’t need to concern yourself with them. Mason got into some

trouble recently.” Declan took out a handkerchief and coughed heavily

into it twice.

Seemingly weary, he advised, “It won’t be easy for him to get himself out of this situation. Be careful. Don’t get too involved with them.”
