C3 Humiliation

Rose tried her best not to cry — she couldn’t deny the existence of her child. "Wyatt, please let me explain first. I have my reasons."

"Enough! I don’t want to hear your excuses." Wyatt withdrew his gaze and took away the warmth he had given her before, leaving behind nothing but coldness. He then announced, "Listen to me. I, Wyatt Young, am breaking off my engagement with Rose Linder. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."

After hearing those words, Rose felt her heart was crushed. She stared at Wyatt who was just meters away from her, but she already felt that they were separated by thousands of miles.

He continued saying, “I want to take this opportunity to thank someone who stayed by my side when I was still suffering from my illness. She has always taken care of me and motivated me to get better.”

While he was saying this, Wyatt’s face was filled with gentleness and longing. Unlike his attitude towards Rose earlier, he was like a completely different person now — a man in love.

After Wyatt’s speech towards the reporters, he opened his car door and gently offered his hand to the person inside. A delicate hand was placed on his palm, and he gently helped that person out of the car.

The girl who just got out of the car was Naomi. She was wearing a light pink dress that looked like it came out from a fairytale. Her skin was like jade, a pair of eyes that seemed like it expressed a lot of things, and a brilliant smile like a blooming spring flower.

She stood perfectly beside Wyatt, like the two of them were a perfect match.

"Naomi, thank you for not giving up on me and motivating me to get better.” Under everyone’s gaze, Wyatt suddenly went down on one knee. “Naomi, will you marry me and accompany me for the rest of my life?”

Wyatt was holding a diamond ring that reflected a dreamy and colorful light under the sunlight. The pure 6.6 grams of diamond would make everyone envious.

"Say yes! Say yes..."

"Marry him! Marry him..."

Naomi was touched, her eyes filled with tears of joy. She looked at Wyatt with loving eyes, but she hesitated to say yes to his proposal.

"What’s wrong, Naomi? Don’t you want to marry me?” Wyatt saw the hesitation and confusion in her eyes.

"I... Of course I want to, Wyatt, but my sister loves you so much, and I don’t want to hurt her like this..." Naomi furrowed her brows and shook her head sadly, "I know she made a mistake, but please give her a chance. I know you two will be very happy, please forgive her.”

"Naomi, why are you so innocent and kind?"

Wyatt stood up and held her shoulders, he was still gentle with her but a bit sad. "It's not that I don't want to give her a chance, but she was so heartless — she even abandoned me! Where was she when I needed her the most? She disappeared, and when she came back, there was an illegitimate child! It has always been you who took care of me, and if you weren’t there… I don’t think I would have the will to try and get better."

“Wyatt, I willingly did all of this for my sister, but it wasn’t easy for her either.” Naomi spoke on behalf of Rose. She seemed generous and kind.

Rose looked at the seemingly innocent and harmless Naomi, in addition to sneering, she felt a jolt in her heart.

"Naomi, it shouldn't be your burden. It was your sister who gave up on me. I, Wyatt Young, will not accept such a cruel woman again!" Wyatt comforted Naomi, "Naomi, I just want to be with you. I like you, do you like me too?"

Naomi bit her lips, tears were sliding down her cheeks. She still looked lovely and charming.

"Tell me, do you like me?"

"Yes... Yes, I do like you. But - "

She looked at Rose who was a few meters away. “Sister, I’m sorry. Wyatt like me, and I also like him. I hope you will be okay with this.”

" Naomi… Wyatt… I wish you both happiness and an early death.”

"Sister, Wyatt's just getting better. If you’re angry, blame me. I’m not afraid of anything, but please don’t say that to Wyatt…”

"Naomi, you don’t need to beg her. She doesn’t deserve it!"

"Pah!"

A loud slap landed on Rose's face. The slap left a red mark on her face, it was a shocking sight.

"You did such a disgraceful thing and you still cursed your sister so viciously. How did our Linder family raise such a vicious person like you?! You’ve disgraced the Linder family!" Greyson Linder rushed over when he heard the commotion. He was furious upon hearing these vicious words.

"Rose, you didn’t treasure Wyatt, so don’t blame Naomi for getting Wyatt’s heart. She’s your biological sister… How can you say those words to her? Are you trying to anger us to death?” Her mother, Riley Ramirez, scolded her ungrateful daughter.

"Dad, Mom, why are you here too..." Naomi blushed and her tone was like a spoiled child.

"If we didn't come here, how can we defend you?" Greyson looked at Rose angrily and wanted to strangle this eyesore. "Don't worry, no matter what she says, Dad won't believe her. Mom and Dad support your decision of marrying Wyatt. As for this good-for-nothing person, she's not associated with our Linder family from now on!"

"But Dad, sister need us the most right now. She only did those things because she was confused. We should still help her." Naomi 'kindly' advised their parents.

"Why should we help her? No one would ever help her since she willingly did those things!" Greyson snorted. He patted Naomi's shoulder and softly said, "We are fortunate that you've never let us down, Naomi. As long as you and Wyatt are together in the future, we will feel at ease."

"That's right, our Young family will never accept such a shameless woman like her. She is not worthy to be with Wyatt!" This time, it was Wyatt's father, Carter Young, who also chose Naomi. "Naomi, you are worthy to be the daughter-in-law of the Young family. My son wouldn't be standing here in a healthy manner if it weren't for your efforts of taking care of him."

His mother, Claire Rogers, only knitted her brows tightly upon seeing Rose's face and the child in her arms.

Rose felt that she had fallen into a pit of despair. Her body and mind felt broken and numb.

"Naomi, I don’t want anyone else but you." Wyatt then pulled Naomi closer and kissed her.

Naomi’s eyes were wide in shock, but gradually relaxed under Wyatt’s affectionate kiss.

Rose tried her best to hold back the jealousy and rising tears in her eyes. She would never show her weakness in front of her enemies!

She bit her lips hard, and then she tasted blood coming from her lips. It was the taste of being betrayed by the people she loved and trusted the most.

Naomi had set up this trap a long time ago. Even if she had a reason that she couldn't say, no one would believe her.

Her biological parents were not worthy of the Young family just because of the stain of having a child out of wedlock, so they decided to abandon her and continued to maintain marital relations with the Young family.

They never wanted the truth, but a clean chess piece that they can manipulate.

Even though she had been humiliated today, her eyes were still filled with determination. She did not show any weakness in front of them.

Rose sneered as she looked at their family reaching perfection. She had lost miserably today, but she swore that one day, she would take her revenge and make these people regret having hurt her.
