Chapter 3

As I walked out of the cemetery, I received a call saying that someone wanted to move my mom's urn to another place.

I ran back stumblingly.

We both had a clear understanding of my mom's illness, so I had chosen a cemetery with her long before.

"Naomi, there's no need to carve words on my tombstone. A clean one is the best."

She chose the place next to a patch of daisies. She said that there was a daisy patch on the back mountain when she was a child, and this just fulfilled her wish.

"Blake, Poppy said he wanted to be buried here. We can just give the family of the deceased some money. After all, the dead are not as valuable as real money. They will agree."

"What are you doing!"

When I arrived, Zara had already placed the white cat's urn into the cemetery, and the workers had filled it with soil.

And my mom's urn was thrown alone aside.

"Who allowed you to do this?"

Zara didn't care.

"It's not your mom in the grave, why are you in a hurry? It's too early to cry at her grave."

I pushed Zara away angrily, grabbed the shovel from the worker, and frantically dug the grave they had just filled.

"It's just a tomb. Naomi, what are you going crazy about?"

Blake grabbed the shovel and stopped me.

"Don't touch me!" I shook off Blake's hand, knelt on the ground and dug the soil with my hands.

Seeing that I was about to dig out the white cat's urn, Zara looked anxiously at Blake's bodyguard beside her.

"What are you looking at? Stop her! Poppy has just been laid to rest!"

Blake's bodyguard held me down.

My face was pressed firmly into the wet dirt.

"Tell them to let me go." I stared at Blake.

"Naomi, your playing hard to get tactics won't work on me. You just pushed Zara. Apologize to her." Blake looked at me coldly.

"You wish!" I gritted my teeth, wishing I could tear Zara to pieces.

Zara pretended not seeing it. She patted Blake.

"Forget it, Blake. Some friends and I have seen what Naomi is like over the years. But I have to remind you that if such a person with bad manners really became Mrs. Gilbert, the Gilbert Group would be laughed at by everyone in Albany."

"My fiancée is not for anyone to gossip."

Zara was stunned when she heard Blake's words and bit her lip unwillingly.

Blake looked at me, as if he wanted me to compromise like every time before.

"Naomi, we're getting married next month. Just apologize to Zara and I'll pretend nothing happened."

"No, and I will not marry you." I tried to struggle, but to no avail.

"Do you think the Gilbert Family is somewhere you can come and go as you please? Naomi, it seems that you haven't learned enough lessons."

Blake sneered and took out his phone, apparently trying to threaten me.

He had done this kind of thing before. In order to make me apologize to Zara, he would not go home for a month, allow reporters to take intimate photos of him and Zara together, and watch others humiliate me with it.

But now, I didn't want him anymore, so he no longer had any tricks that can restrain me.

"Leo, suspend the surgical consultation of Naomi's mom."

I looked at Blake calmly.

When I first learned that my mom was sick, I begged him to find specialists for consultation. However, he was fighting with me because of Zara, so he ignored my request. As a result, my mom missed the best treatment time.

He knew what I cared about the whole time.

But he never cared about what I cared about.

"Naomi, apologize to Zara. I can have them continue to treat your mom."

After staring at Blake for too long, my eyes felt a little sore, so I looked away.

"Blake, if I don't apologize, will you really not save my mom?"

After a long while, Blake answered,

"No."

Seeing my embarrassed appearance, he felt something strange in his heart, and he waved his hand to ask the bodyguard to let me go.

Zara came forward unwillingly and interrupted Blake who was about to speak.
