Chapter 542 Occupying Her Possessions
“Who would dare go against Wendy's words? The Quinnells may be wealthy, but we're no slouches, either. Did they really think we're going to fawn over a random country bumpkin? Please.”
“Alright, let's drop it. Talking about her will only sour our mood. My grandfather might be getting seni I e. He keeps insisting that we must maintain ties with the Quinnells because of her six brothers.” “Everyone knows the six Quinnell brothers don't get involved in their family matters. Not to mention, other than Tobias, the other five brothers dote on Naomi. They won't accept that country bumpkin.” Naomi caught wind of their conversation as she approached. She stopped in her tracks so the person
with her would not hear their conversation.
She deliberately took a step back, seemingly to accommodate the art exhibition’s owner, and said with a smile, “Winnie, thank you for building those connections for me. I wouldn't know what to do otherwise.
“I'll make preparations today in hopes that I'll be able to attend the banquet with my six brothers. My friends are still gossiping away inside. It's best we not join them.”
The art exhibition owner was a successful businesswoman in the arts named Winnie Yeaton.
She was shy of 40 years old, with fair skin and a dignified appearance. She matched her pure white cotton dress with head accessories that gave off a strong artistic vibe.
Anyone could tell that she was an extraordinary individual at first glance.
“Young people nowadays...” Winne chuckled as she shook her head. “You've bought quite a lot of designs.
“Now you're also asking me to help you connect with the designers from Frenda for a custom-made designer dress, am I right?”
Naomi leaned closer to her. “You know me best, Winnie. I've wanted that dress for a long time now but
never had the chance.”
“I've got it for you. Even though it wasn't personally designed by their top designer, it was still based on
their sketch.”
Winnie was a woman of taste, as evident from her jewelry. “I'll have someone send it to the Quinnell
residence.”
Naomi was genuinely surprised. “I don’t know how to thank you enough, Winnie. You've been helping me secure these dresses all these years.”
“And matching jewelry,” Winnie ended with a beaming smile. “It's nothing, really. You're Marie's daughter.
“Back when Marie was still pregnant, she mentioned that if she had a daughter, she was going to dress her up beautifully. Who else am I supposed to help if not you?”
Winnie grinned and added, “If it weren't for Marie's support, I wouldn't be where I am today.
“By the way, I've just returned to the country and been meaning to ask you. How has Marie been doing? I

heard from Shane that she’s getting better. Can she have visitors yet?" 212
Naomi tightened her fists. Taking a deep breath, she said, “Winnie, there's something I've been wanting to tell you. They found Mom's biological daughter. I'm... I'm in a bit of a tricky situation right now.” Naomi brought it up since she knew Winnie would find out eventually once she returned to the country. She knew it was best for Winnie to hear it from her to at least maintain their relationship.
But Winnie was stunned. “What did you say? They found Sevie?" “That's right.” Naomi's heart sank at her reaction. Why was everyone blindly favoring that s t u p i d bumpkin?
Winnie's joy was palpable, bordering on agitation. “Where is she? Has she met Marie? Marie would be
ecstatic. She's been waiting for so long!”
Then Winnie stopped herself, suddenly realizing something. “Ah, I'm sorry, Naomi. I didn’t mean to... I was just-"
