The Villain Mom Awakens — Going Viral by Parenting on a Reality Show-Chapter 356: All the Evidence Has Been Collected
Renee Jennings’s heart trembled as she looked at Naomi Kenway uneasily. "What are you talking about?"
"You know exactly what I’m talking about. After doing so many terrible things, aren’t you afraid of a little karma?"
Renee Jennings clenched her fists, staring darkly at Naomi Kenway. She held back her anger, mindful of Naomi’s status.
"If I’ve done something so terrible, then spell it out."
"That would take far too long to list."
Renee Jennings’s heart leaped into her throat. Naomi’s vague attitude made her extremely uneasy. Countless possibilities flashed through her mind, including the worst-case scenario. ’Does Naomi know something...?’
She gazed at Naomi’s confident expression as fear and worry churned within her. Her words came out weakly, "I’m not going to stoop to your level."
With that, she took Nathan Lynch and left, her steps rushed and disorderly, her face a mask of turmoil.
Victor Vance watched as Renee Jennings forcibly led Nathan Lynch away. She instinctively wanted to give chase, but then she remembered something and forced herself to calm down. ’Now is not the time.’ She believed Nathan would return to her side, and that day was not far off.
[So that’s Victor Vance? You really can’t judge a book by its cover. She looks so sophisticated and elegant, who’d have thought she had such poor character? How dare she show her face on camera?]
[Nina, listen to us, don’t play with her! You have to be wary of people like that stabbing you in the back. She’s so treacherous!]
[Judging by what Renee Jennings said, Victor Vance isn’t allowed to see her child? I don’t know... that doesn’t seem right. She’s the mother, after all. The Lynch Family is being way too cruel.]
[Something’s fishy. Renee Jennings looks so guilty. She was all aggressive at first, but she clearly panicked after Naomi Kenway spoke. It’s obvious she’s hiding something! I wonder what terrible thing she’s done this time!]
[Totally. Renee Jennings’s reaction was very strange. If she has a clear conscience, why did she rush off like that?]
...
In the middle of the night, Naomi Kenway suddenly received a call from Victor Vance. Her voice was excited and urgent, choked with emotion and trembling. "Nina, I... I’m so sorry to bother you at this hour."
"It’s fine. Is something urgent? Don’t rush, just tell me slowly."
Naomi Kenway had already sat up in bed. She subconsciously glanced to her side. Ethan Shaw’s eyes were open, and he was looking at her with a hint of confusion.
"You go back to sleep. I’ll take this on the balcony."
"Wait." Dressed in his pajamas, Ethan Shaw got out of bed. He said, "There are a lot of mosquitoes on the balcony. You make your call in here, I’ll go out there."
Naomi was at a loss for words as she watched him leave.
Victor Vance’s voice from the phone pulled Naomi back to the present. She refocused her attention. "Take your time. Tell me, what’s wrong?"
On the other end, Victor Vance’s emotions had stabilized a little. Though her voice still held a sob when she spoke, Naomi could detect the joy in her tone. These were tears of happiness.
"Today, the private investigator I hired told me he’s secured definitive proof. Just as I thought... I wasn’t the one who cheated, it was Nathaniel Lynch! He and Renee Jennings have been hooking up for three years. They framed me just to force me to leave the marriage with nothing..."
As she finished, Victor Vance’s usually gentle voice was laced with hatred. "They deliberately framed me, made it so I can’t live with my own son, made it so people gossip about me the moment I step outside... I will *never* let them get away with this..."
Then, she apologized through her sobs. "I’m sorry. Was my tone too harsh? Did I scare you? I just... I don’t know how to describe what I’m feeling. It’s a whirlwind of emotions all hitting me at once."
"You should be happy," Naomi said. "You shouldn’t let what those two disgusting people did affect you any longer. All that matters is that you’ll soon be able to clear your name and stand on that awards stage with your head held high. You can win back custody of Nathan, and no one will ever be able to control your relationship or stop you from seeing him again. So, how are you feeling now? Are you starting to feel happy?"
Victor Vance laughed through her tears. "Yes. Thank you..."
Naomi chuckled. "You’re welcome."
Naomi had long suspected the truth of what Victor Vance was saying, but hearing it confirmed still filled her with anger. She couldn’t believe Nathaniel Lynch and Renee Jennings could be so shameless as to completely abandon all moral decency.
Victor Vance continued, "I’ve already booked a flight back home. I can’t wait another second. I just want to see my son and expose the disgusting true colors of that wretched couple!"
Naomi considered this for a moment. "What time is your flight? I’ll have someone pick you up. If you want to expose them, tomorrow is the perfect opportunity..."
Tomorrow was supposed to be the final day of filming for the seventh episode. The shoot was originally scheduled to end today, but Nathaniel Lynch had pulled some strings to have the director add an extra day for a "special episode." This was because tomorrow was Renee Jennings’s birthday, and Nathaniel had prepared a surprise that he planned to unveil on camera. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Naomi didn’t need to guess to know that Nathaniel Lynch and Renee Jennings intended to use this opportunity to flaunt their affection, project an image of a happy family, and clean up their reputations. Too bad for them, it wasn’t going to be that easy this time.
’Did they really think they could bleed someone dry and then climb to the top by stepping on their bones? The world isn’t that kind.’

The next day, Naomi Kenway woke up early to do her hair and makeup. She specifically chose a wine-red mermaid-style dress and looked utterly stunning.
’Today is a good day.’
Just as Naomi rose from her vanity, she heard the butler at the door report that the production crew had begun filming.
[How can she be so beautiful! Wifey, let me give you a kiss!]
[Beautiful from 360 degrees, not a single bad angle! Nina, you are my goddess!]
[From the time the entire internet was against her until now, I have never said a single bad word about Nina. We had a deal, I get dibs on that face in my next life! Actually, I’ll take it now. Sister Nina, be with me in the next life! I might not be as rich as President Shaw, but he’s not as poor as me!]
[Today is Renee Jennings’s birthday. Is Nina dressed this beautifully because she’s going to crash the party? I’m so here for it!]
...
Because it was the special occasion of Renee Jennings’s birthday, and since filming for the show was ongoing, even guests who weren’t particularly close to her had received invitations.
Ethan Shaw was out on business as usual, but since it was a Saturday, Ian was home. So, Naomi headed to Renee Jennings’s birthday party with her son. To fit the festive mood, she had even dressed Ian Shaw in a little suit with a red tie.
Naomi had contacted Victor Vance half an hour earlier; they planned to meet on the way.

Naomi parked her car in the Lynch Family’s garage and happened to run into Margaret Jennings. Margaret’s impatient expression immediately softened into a smile upon seeing her. "Naomi... I mean, Mrs. Shaw."
Naomi smiled. "Please, just call me Nina. ’Mrs. Shaw’ is far too formal."
The smile on Margaret Jennings’s face widened, and her tense heart finally settled.
