Luna had just set her phone on the table when Naomi's phone rang.

Naomi urgently picked up the call when she saw the name flashing on the screen.

The second the call connected, her mother's urgent voice came through.

“Naomi, where are you right now?”

“I'm having coffee with my friends, Mom. What's wrong?”

A sense of uneasiness rose within her at her mother's nervous tone.

“It's nothing. Since you're with your friends, you might as well stay at their place for a couple of days. Don't be in a rush to come home.”

The uneasiness Naomi felt turned into apprehension at her mother's suggestion.

“Mom, did something happen at home? Did the people from the Sunderland family come to our house again?” Naomi asked urgently.

They spoke for a few more minutes before hanging up.

A grim expression crossed Naomi's face as she set her phone down.

Luna and Michelle witnessed Naomi's change in expression when she was on the call with her mother. “What happened, Naomi?” they questioned worriedly.

“The Sunderland family hired a group of delinquents to wreck my family's mall. As a result, many of our security guards suffered grave injuries.”

Naomi explained the situation to her best friends with a bleak look.

“Let me check my livestream.”

Hearing what happened to Naomi's family, Michelle immediately logged into her livestream account.

“My account has been suspended!” Michelle exclaimed somberly a minute later.

“It seems Owen won't rest until he gets what he wants. Oh no! Doesn't that mean he also sent someone to trash my clinic? No, this won't do. I have to go back and check on it.”

Jitters filled Luna at that thought.

She needed to go back and check on her clinic.

Naomi and Michelle also decided to leave with her.

Yet, Owen's voice sounded from behind them as they got to their feet.

“So the three of you are here. I had a hard time looking for you. Did you receive the gifts I sent?”
