The Villain Mom Awakens — Going Viral by Parenting on a Reality Show-Chapter 122: Naomi Kenway, Nanny to Five

Renee Jennings slammed down her chopsticks, her eyes unfriendly. "What do you mean by that?"

Chelsea Raines was a little flustered. "I—I didn’t mean anything by it." This was the first time she had ever seen such a fierce expression on Renee Jennings’s face.

Naomi Kenway let out a soft laugh, looking like she was enjoying the show. She decided to play Renee Jennings’s game and stir the pot.

"Renee Jennings, you’re scaring Chelsea Raines. She was just trying to be nice and help you out. Why are you being so hostile?"

This was the exact line Renee Jennings usually used. Naomi was curious to see how disgusted she would be on the receiving end.

As expected, Renee Jennings’s expression soured. "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to!"

Chelsea Raines was speechless, unable to defend herself, and couldn’t understand her extreme reaction. "Renee, I... I just saw that the cowshed was too run-down and was worried it would be too much for a child. Can’t you trust me with Nathan? The conditions there are so harsh, and you have to take a kid with you. Renee, I really feel for you."

Renee Jennings snorted coldly. "You think I don’t know what you’re plotting? Dream on!"

Naomi Kenway glanced at her coolly. "If I recall correctly, Renee Jennings, the first time you met me, didn’t you say you wanted to take Ian and look after him?"

The same scene, the same tactic. Now, it was all being replayed, but with her as the target.

Renee Jennings visibly panicked for a moment. "I... Back then, the only decent thing about the house you were staying in was that jujube tree. I was just being kind. This is different..."

"So by your logic, Chelsea Raines isn’t being kind, which is why you’re rejecting her?" Naomi Kenway said faintly, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

Chelsea Raines looked at Renee Jennings, a hurt expression in her eyes.

"I..." Renee Jennings gritted her teeth and forced a smile. "Of course that’s not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean? Don’t you think you’re contradicting yourself?"

Renee Jennings couldn’t take it anymore. "Naomi Kenway!"

Naomi’s expression didn’t change. "Getting desperate, are we?"

Knowing she couldn’t win an argument against her, Renee Jennings lowered her head and angrily shoveled rice into her mouth.

After breakfast, the tour guide appeared again. "Everyone should be full now, right? Next, we’ll be starting our tasks. All guests, except for Naomi Kenway, will follow our Uncle Woods to the sea to experience fishing on a fishing boat!"

Uncle Woods stood to the side wearing a fisherman’s hat, his face full of a warm and friendly smile.

The tour guide introduced him with a smile. "Our Uncle Woods has forty years of fishing experience and is known around here as the ’Master Angler’! Everyone can take this opportunity to learn a thing or two!"

Uncle Woods quickly waved his hands. "You flatter me, you flatter me."

The guests all applauded and greeted him.

Naomi Kenway asked, "What’s my task?"

"Naomi Kenway, your task is a bit special..." The tour guide glanced down at the task card, then looked up. "You need to stay home and complete the task of looking after all five children."

Everyone had a different expression on their face.

Before Naomi Kenway could answer, Renee Jennings had already raised her hand in protest. "No way! I can’t leave my son in Naomi Kenway’s hands! I just can’t trust her!"

Chelsea Raines also frowned. "Why does it have to be Naomi Kenway? She... What if she hits Jared..."

Before she could finish, Naomi Kenway cut her off. "You can’t just say things like that. Do you have any idea what you’re talking about?"

Chelsea Raines’s mouth closed, then opened again. "Either way, I don’t feel comfortable with you watching the kids. Our Jared is already a handful, and you don’t have much patience... If it were Renee or any of the other guests, I definitely wouldn’t say a thing."

Margaret Jennings said, "Chelsea Raines, what are you even thinking? Nina is very patient with children. In any case, leaving Carina in her hands is exactly what I need to go fishing with a clear conscience."

Ruby Preston added, "I have complete faith in Nicole. Everyone, let’s not be blinded by baseless rumors online. I believe we’ve all seen for ourselves what kind of person Nicole is."

Renee Jennings said, "Can’t we really switch to someone else? I’m very experienced with children..."

The tour guide rejected her outright. "No, this task has already been set and will not be changed. Everyone, please get ready to head out to sea with Uncle Woods!"

The children rarely had to do tasks separately from their mothers, so they all clung to them, unwilling to part.

Renee Jennings said earnestly, "Nathan, you have to protect yourself."

Nathan Lynch looked up, a little confused. "Is there some kind of danger? But I should be very safe with Aunt Kenway. Don’t worry, Mom, I won’t run off."

Seeing that Nathan Lynch had completely missed the meaning behind her words, Renee Jennings was frustrated by his naivety. But with the cameras on them, she couldn’t be too blunt.

The thick-skinned Chelsea Raines had no such reservations. She hugged Jared Woods. "Jared, if Naomi Kenway hits you, you run and hide, you hear me?"

Jared Woods’s thoughts were a little muddled. He didn’t have a great memory, and all he could recall was that his mom really disliked Aunt Kenway, but Aunt Kenway’s cooking was so, so delicious...

"Aunt Kenway cooks such good food, she must be a good person. She wouldn’t hit Jared, right?"

Looking at her son’s innocent and foolish expression, Chelsea Raines jabbed him hard on the forehead with her finger.

"Ouch!" Jared Woods yelped, stumbling backward as he clutched his forehead.

"Looks to me like you only remember the food and not the beatings! Naomi Kenway and I are mortal enemies. If she doesn’t hit you, who will she hit? She’s just putting on an act for the cameras right now. Anyone who knows her even a little knows she has the worst temper. She might even whip you with a Septwolves belt!"

"If she hits you, you run, understand? When Mom gets back, I’ll make her pay! Got it?"

As Chelsea Raines spoke, she started to get scared herself. ’When no one’s around, Naomi might actually abuse my child...’

The memory of the Septwolves belt was too profound and painful for Jared Woods. He instinctively flinched.

Before leaving, Ruby Preston instructed Simon Sawyer, "Simon, you’re the big brother. You have to help Aunt Kenway take care of the younger kids, you hear?"

Simon Sawyer nodded. "Mom..."

He hesitated, but still asked the question, "When will you be back? Will it be dangerous at sea?"

"It won’t be. I’ll come back as soon as I finish the task."

Simon Sawyer said, "I’ll help Aunt Kenway take care of the younger kids!"

Ruby Preston looked relieved and patted his shoulder. "Good boy!"

The guests began to split into two groups. As she left, Renee Jennings kept looking back every few steps.

The place wasn’t far from her own house, so Naomi Kenway planned to take the children back there.

After carefully counting the children, Naomi Kenway said with a smile, "Alright, kids, let’s go home!"

Naomi Kenway had intended for the children to hold hands, but it seemed their relationships weren’t quite friendly enough for that.

As the youngest, Ian had one hand held by Carina Sanders and the other by Simon Sawyer.

Jared Woods asked Nathan Lynch to hold his hand, but was coolly rejected by him. "No, I like walking by myself."

Jared Woods put his hands behind his back and huffed, "Fine, don’t! Who cares!"

Very soon, Naomi Kenway would face the first challenge of her task.
