Chapter 417 The Ring That Shouldn’t Exist 

Mocked and ridiculed right in front of Nathaniel. 

That woman was so loud Naomi couldn’t even sleep. 

“They’re so damn noisy! How’s anyone supposed to sleep like this?” 

Naomi’s face darkened. 

Evelyn, who had been tending to her, tried to soothe her frustration. “Naomi, just try to bear with it. That little vixen is way out of line, but what can we do? Mr. Nathaniel likes her. 

Naomi gritted her teeth. “I’m carrying his child, and he doesn’t even care. All he thinks about is how to fool around with that slut every day!” 

The more she thought about it, the more she fumed. 

Why was she the one stuck here, swallowing her anger, while that woman paraded around like she owned the place? 

“When I give the Hartwell family a son, I’ll make sure she’s groveling at my feet!” 

Just as she said it- 

A loud pounding echoed from the front door of the Hartwell estate. 

Downstairs, Nathaniel had been enjoying himself on the couch with his woman. When he heard the commotion, he sat up. 

“What the hell was that?” 

He glanced at Matteo beside him. “Go open the door.” 

“Yes, Father.” 

Matteo walked over and opened the door, only to find several men from the Foster family standing outside. 

Leading them was Henry. 

Matteo’s eyes turned cold the moment he saw him. “Mr. Henry.” 

“I’m here to see Mr. Nathaniel.” 

Henry stepped inside without waiting for a reply. 

Matteo didn’t stop him. 

As soon as Henry entered, Nathaniel leaned back on the couch and said, “Mr. Henry, what brings you here so late? Is something the matter?” 

“There is. I’ve come on behalf of my father to request two people.” 

Nathaniel frowned. “Your father? What people does Mr. Felix think are his to claim from me?” 

“Naomi and her mother.”

Henry got straight to the point.

Hearing that, Nathaniel slammed the table. “Henry! You Foster people are really pushing it! Everyone in Westbrook knows Naomi’s carrying my child. And now you want to take her away? You think I’m just going to let that happen?” 

Henry calmly sat down across from him. “Mr. Nathaniel, there’s no need to take it that way. I’m speaking to you respectfully. If you want to twist it, that’s your choice.” 

At his cue, Henry’s men began to move. 

They quickly surrounded the entire living room. 

Nathaniel hadn’t expected him to bring so many. 

His face darkened. “You think I’m scared of you?” 

“I’m just following my father’s orders,” Henry said. “Don’t make this difficult. We don’t plan to harm Naomi or her mother. We just want something from them. If they hand it over, there’s no need to take them anywhere.” 

Nathaniel’s expression relaxed slightly. “If that’s all, then Matteo, go get Naomi.” 

Matteo looked hesitant but still nodded. “Yes, Father.” 

He headed upstairs. 

When he pushed open Naomi’s door, she was startled. “You! What are you doing here?” 

“Come down.” 

His tone left no room for argument. Evelyn looked nervous and didn’t want to follow. 

But Matteo grabbed her by the collar and forced her to come down too. 

“Slow down! Watch it!” Evelyn complained, clearly alarmed, but she had no choice but to follow. 

Downstairs… 

Naomi’s face changed the moment she saw Henry. 

Henry? 

What the hell was he doing at the Hartwell house? 

“Naomi, Mr. Henry wants something from you,” Nathaniel said from the sofa. 

Naomi had no idea what she could possibly have that Henry wanted. She tried to stay calm. “What is it you’re looking for, Mr. Henry? If I have it, I’ll give it to you.” 

“A ring.” Henry replied. 

“A ring?” 

Naomi blinked in confusion. “What ring?”

Just then, Matteo dragged Evelyn down the stairs. 

Evelyn’s face turned pale when she saw Henry. 

Wasn’t this Eliza’s ex–fiancé? 

What was he doing here? 

“The one Emilia left behind,” Henry said flatly. 

The moment he said Emilia’s name, Evelyn’s expression soured.

“Mr. Henry, you must be mistaken. Emilia’s ring? Why would we have something like that? Shouldn’t you be asking Eliza?”
