The Villain Mom Awakens — Going Viral by Parenting on a Reality Show-Chapter 348: Fake Tycoon??

’So, Naomi Kenway, you’ve finally slipped up. I almost fell for your act.’

Renee Jennings sneered inwardly.

’If I noticed this problem, there’s no way no one else did, right?’

She searched for related keywords, and just as she expected, an entertainment blogger had already questioned the landscape painting in Naomi Kenway’s house.

Today, Naomi Kenway’s mansion reveal caught the eyes of many netizens, including yours truly. A mansion covering such a vast area, a garage full of endless luxury cars... but is all of this really Naomi Kenway’s property?

(Image) The landscape painting can be clearly seen in the picture. For those who might not be familiar with it, let me explain. The painting is titled "Pines and Cypresses," and it was once sold at a Newton Auction for the sky-high price of 580 million. You think I’m about to praise Naomi Kenway for being rich? Here’s the kicker: "Pines and Cypresses" was bought by Ms. Flora Shaw seven years ago and has always been part of her private collection. So how did this incredibly valuable collector’s item end up in Naomi Kenway’s house?

A celebrity worth over a hundred million is buying high-quality replicas?

Some helpful followers submitted tips suggesting that Naomi Kenway’s villa is likely rented, and the ownership of her luxury cars is also questionable.

What are your thoughts on Naomi Kenway’s net worth? Come discuss it with me in the comments!]

[Naomi Kenway bought a replica? No way. She’s so rich, why would she buy a fake? 580 million is expensive, sure, but if she can’t afford it, why not just collect something cheaper? Why insist on buying a replica? It really ruins her image!]

[Finally, someone said it! Flora Shaw buying "Pines and Cypresses" for a fortune was a trending topic back in the day. A quick search online will bring up the records. "Pines and Cypresses" is one of the top three most expensive artifacts ever sold at Newton Auction House, and it’s still on their record books.]

[What a load of crap. What about her huge mansion? And all those luxury cars in the garage? These clickbait accounts are so brainless.]

[Look at Naomi Kenway’s fans getting all defensive. Houses and cars can be rented, you know. Maybe Naomi just rented them for a few specific days.]

[That’s ridiculous. A house that big was clearly painstakingly decorated by a tycoon. How could it possibly be rented?]

[I don’t know if anyone remembers, but Naomi Kenway’s husband’s last name is also Shaw. Could her family be related to Flora Shaw? What if they’re all relatives from the same big family?]

[I might believe that for an ordinary person, but Flora Shaw is from the Shaw Family, the richest family in Veridia! You really think just anyone can claim to be related to her? Besides, everyone knows the Shaws are famously low-key. They barely make public appearances outside of charity galas. Naomi Kenway and her husband are out here filming reality shows for money. There’s no way they’re part of the Shaw Family.]

[There are so many people with the last name Shaw. Does having the same surname make you family? My last name is Warren, so if I said I’m cousins with Lance Warren, the richest man in our city, would you believe me?]

[I knew something was off about Naomi Kenway’s family from the start. They’re obviously just packaged for show. Especially her husband. Isn’t it obvious his persona is just an act? A man who’s rich, handsome, deeply in love, and a devoted family man? In real life? That’s a textbook character trope. Gorgeous Starlet x Scheming, Devoted CEO... Naomi should’ve been a screenwriter.]

[I almost fell for it. If Naomi Kenway hadn’t hung up that landscape painting, we never would have found out.]

[What the hell? So after all that, she’s just a fake rich person? And I wasted so much time praising her in the livestream yesterday.]

[It’s not necessarily all fake. How can a celebrity not have money? Maybe she’s just not *that* rich. At least, not as rich as she pretends to be.]

...

Renee Jennings almost laughed out loud. She struggled to keep the corners of her mouth from turning up. When she saw a camera pan towards her phone, she quickly covered the screen.

Just as she’d expected, there were posts questioning Naomi Kenway. But maybe because it hadn’t been long, it hadn’t made much of a splash yet. There weren’t many people discussing it.

Renee Jennings lowered her gaze and secretly sent a message to her agent, telling her to buy traffic for the relevant accounts. At the same time, she didn’t forget to take the opportunity to mock Naomi Kenway. She logged into her own social media account and publicly dissed her:

[Nathan’s Mom Renee Jennings v: This is a replica, right? It’s quite pretty. Nina, you have great taste. @Naomi Kenway]

It didn’t take long for her to receive Naomi Kenway’s reply.

[Naomi Kenway v: @Nathan’s Mom Renee Jennings, who’s that passive-aggressive tone for? Open your eyes and take a good look. If you don’t know what you’re talking about, then shut up.]

As confrontational as ever. That was so Naomi.

Renee Jennings laughed inwardly. Naomi Kenway seemed more and more like a flustered clown, jumping up and down.

Renee Jennings hummed a song, feeling carefree, and then went to the kitchen to make soup and snacks for Nathan Lynch.

A few hours later, Renee Jennings got what she was waiting for: the clickbait posts had gone viral, and an infuriated Nathaniel Lynch had arrived.

Renee Jennings sat up from the sofa, a look of pleasant surprise on her face. "Nathaniel, what are you doing back? I made you some soup. It’s almost ready."

Catching sight of the dense cluster of cameras in the room, Nathaniel Lynch quickly forced a smile. He walked over and firmly pulled Renee Jennings by the hand. "Come upstairs with me. I have something to say to you."

His gaze lingered behind him as he said, "Some things aren’t convenient to film. Please give us some private space for a moment."

"Nathaniel, slow down! So many people are watching, I can’t keep up..."

[Hahaha, do they have some secrets they need to hide from the audience?]

[They seem to have a good relationship.]

[This is a good relationship? I think Nathaniel Lynch looks like he’s about to interrogate her. How can you ’ship’ this?]

[This hit parenting show is so weird. One couple fakes being in love, and the other fakes being rich.]

...

The door slammed shut with a CLANG.

Nathaniel Lynch was breathing heavily through his nose. He began furiously, "What the hell are you doing all day? Are you trying to ruin my life?! My mom was right about you! You’re a jinx! Marrying you was the worst luck I’ve had in eight lifetimes!"

"Are you insane?!" Renee Jennings cursed, utterly bewildered. "Yelling at me for no reason... Nathaniel Lynch, are you out of your mind!"

Nathaniel Lynch sneered. "Have you no idea what you’ve done? I told you a long time ago to stop causing trouble. But you, you just had to go and publicly mock Naomi Kenway on social media? How dare you?!"

"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Tears welled up in Renee Jennings’s eyes. She angrily wiped them away and gave a bitter smile. "Being with you means I always have to hold back. I’m done holding back! Since you won’t help me, I have to fight for myself. I will get my revenge for all the grievances I’ve suffered from Naomi Kenway, sooner or later."

"Do you have any idea how happy I was when Naomi Kenway got into trouble? Not only do you not take my side, but you even yell at me! Who’s your wife, her or me?!"

Renee Jennings shoved Nathaniel Lynch, her pretty face filled with resentment.

Nathaniel Lynch stared at her in disbelief. "You’re being completely unreasonable. If I had known it would come to this, I never would have married you. I would have been better off with Victor Vance."
