Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 19

He took a two-minute breather, let out a gentle sigh, and then headed up the stairs expressionless.

Mia was surprised to see him back, "Weren't you out on a date? How come you're back so soon?"

Andre shot her a glance and then made his way to the cloakroom.

In the yard, Naomi had just returned and immediately spotted Jillian crying on the balcony. She instructed her servants to bring her things to her room, then went to Jillian's side. "Jillian, what's wrong?"

Jillian saw Naomi and quickly wiped her tears, "You're back."

"Jillian, why are you crying?" Naomi looked around and noticed two cups on the table, she asked, "Did someone bully you?"

Jillian didn't have the courage to tell Naomi what Andre had just said to her.

She shook her head, "Don't bring it up."

"Was it Mia?" Naomi's tone indicated she had already concluded that Mia was to blame, "Just wait, I won't let you be bullied."

Naomi quickly rose to confront Mia, but Jillian stopped her, "Don't go."

"Oh right, I forgot, today is her and Andre's day to visit her family. She won’t be at home." If Mia wasn't home, how could she possibly bully Jillian? Naomi felt a bit rash, always blaming Mia when things went wrong.

Naomi clenched her fists, she turned to look at Jillian and asked through gritted teeth, "Is that true?"

"Don't ever tell her it was me who said it, I'm afraid she'll badmouth me in front of Hansen, then I won't be able to come see you." Jillian saw that Naomi was still angry, so she intentionally added, "Let me give you some advice. A woman like her really shouldn't stay by Andre's side. She's trying to seize your position as the head of the family, that's enough to show her true colors. So, she definitely won't let you hold shares in Cedillo Inc. in the future."

Jillian knew Naomi's weak spot; having been friends with her for many years, she knew Naomi's biggest fear was Cedillo Inc. growing stronger under Andre's leadership, with all the senior staff being replaced by Andre's people. If one day Cedillo Inc. was completely controlled by Andre, there would be no place for Leo in the company.

Jillian deliberately shared this information with Naomi to disrupt her relationship with Mia.

"Cedillo Inc. belongs to the Cedillo family. I love Andre, but I'm not ungrateful. Andre has a stake in Cedillo Inc., and your husband does too. Leo as the eldest grandchild of the Cedillos, should have an even bigger stake. But now, she's here. I've been warned not to enter the Cedillo family without an invitation, you need to be careful at home."
