Chapter 297: Chapter 297: What a Strong Smell of Sweat. Renee Jennings, Don’t Tell Me You Still Have to Work?

"Renee Jennings, when are you going to stop gossiping behind people’s backs?"

Naomi Kenway held a fan in her hand, the cool breeze lifting her hair. Her beautiful eyes were particularly cold.

She never expected that just wandering around out of boredom would lead her to witness such an interesting scene.

Renee Jennings turned around, her face flushed with the shame of being caught red-handed. Then, she noticed Naomi’s leisurely appearance, a stark contrast to the sweaty, miserable image she had pictured in her mind.

She straightened her back defensively. "I was just telling the truth. What are you doing wandering around here? Aren’t you supposed to be moving watermelons? Slacking off already? I guess your husband doesn’t treat you that well. Aren’t you afraid he’ll chew you out for slacking?"

"Moving watermelons?" Naomi Kenway raised an eyebrow in surprise. She leaned in a little closer, then quickly covered her nose, her face etched with disgust. "Ugh, you stink of sweat. Renee Jennings, don’t tell me you actually have to work?"

She reached out and precisely plucked a piece of tape from Renee Jennings’s hair. "Did this get stuck on you while you were packing watermelons? You poor thing. Unlike me, my husband can’t bear to let me do any work. It must be so hard for you, having to toil away at packing."

Renee Jennings’s eyes widened in disbelief. She scrutinized Naomi Kenway and saw that she was, indeed, pristine and glamorous. Not only was there no dirt on her clothes, but there wasn’t even a single wrinkle.

Christina Lynch pulled Renee Jennings behind him. The gesture seemed protective, but it couldn’t hide the look of disgust on his face. "That’s enough, Renee."

He turned to Naomi Kenway and said, "I’m so sorry. You had to see that embarrassing display."

"Why are you apologizing to me?" Naomi’s smile was laced with malice. "You should be nicer to Renee Jennings. Just look at her, the poor thing. The only way she can feel superior is by lying to herself. Isn’t there a psychological term for people like that? When their own lives are miserable, they spend all day fantasizing about tearing others down to feel better. If you two are going to put on an act, at least make it convincing. Make Renee actually look happy in front of the cameras for once. What’s with this strong start and weak finish?"

At these words, the expressions on both Christina Lynch’s and Renee Jennings’s faces changed.

Her weak spot had been hit, but Renee Jennings feigned indifference. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Nonsense? You two know perfectly well whether I’m spouting nonsense or not." Naomi Kenway smiled and gave a little wave. "I’ll be on my way. You two can keep weaving lies to deceive yourselves. After all, pathetic creatures like you will probably spend your whole lives living in your own fantasies!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Leaving behind a brilliant smile, Naomi Kenway turned and walked straight away.

Renee Jennings was fuming. Christina Lynch’s expression wasn’t great either, but he was more skilled at hiding it, so it wasn’t very obvious on camera.

Renee Jennings shook Christina Lynch’s arm and protested, "Nathaniel, you see? You always say I’m overreacting, but Naomi Kenway is deliberately targeting me!"

Christina Lynch maintained his public persona of a good-tempered man. He gently put an arm around Renee Jennings, adjusting his angle to show his best side profile to the livestream audience. "Naomi has a terrible temper. She’s so moody. Renee, let’s not stoop to her level."

"Did Naomi really not move any watermelons? How is that possible? I clearly heard them say..."

"It’s true," Christina Lynch said.

Hearing this, Renee Jennings said irritably, "Why didn’t you tell me? You let me make a fool of myself in front of her!"

"You started complaining so fast. Naomi was already here before I had a chance to say anything."

Renee Jennings thought for a moment, then whined coquettishly, "Nathaniel, I think I’m a little tired too. Look at Naomi, she..."

Christina Lynch’s brow furrowed for a second before he gave a gentle smile. "If you’re tired, then rest for a bit. There’s no rush."

Renee Jennings looked like she wanted to say more but held her tongue. After a moment, she just said, "Okay."

[LMAO, "rest for a bit if you’re tired." Renee Jennings is so jealous of Naomi!]

[Nina’s roast was perfect! Renee Jennings is the classic type who can’t stand seeing others do well. She sees someone’s sore spot and broadcasts it to the world, just to feel superior by tearing them down!]

[How embarrassing. She was mocking someone and got caught in the act. And she kept saying how she pitied her? Her real intentions were written all over her face.]

[Renee Jennings, get a clue! Why can’t you just be happy for other people? You thought she was moving watermelons, but in reality, she doesn’t have to work at all and is having a much better time than you!]

[Nina said those two are faking their loving-couple act. Is that true? Anyone in the know have the details?]

[It’s definitely not fake. Renee Jennings and Christina Lynch are genuinely in love. They’re like an inseparable young couple.]

[They’ve only been married for a little over a year, so being all lovey-dovey is normal.]

[I actually think what Nina said is true. The guests spend all their time together, so they must know more behind-the-scenes stuff than we do.]

[Hahaha, "pathetic creatures," that’s the perfect description!]

...

After wandering around, Naomi Kenway returned to where she had started. Ian Shaw was sitting on a stool, staring intently at Ethan Shaw and cheering, "My daddy is so strong!"

Ethan Shaw had deliberately changed into casual clothes today instead of wearing a suit like before. He was wearing a simple white short-sleeved shirt, and whenever he lifted a crate, the distinct, sleek lines of his arm muscles were clearly visible.

Nigati watched from the side, clicking his tongue in amazement. He had originally thought Ethan Shaw was the weak, scholarly type of CEO who sat in an office all day. Who knew his strength would be maxed out? He lifted the large crates of watermelons with ease. Those muscles weren’t just for show. They clearly weren’t the product of protein powder, but were bursting with explosive power and strength.

The other workers nearby also cast looks of admiration toward Ethan Shaw. Ethan’s pace of moving the watermelons back and forth was extremely fast. The factory workers were all veterans who had been doing this for a long time. When they first saw this newcomer working so hard, they couldn’t help but feel a little competitive and picked up their own pace, only to be defeated not long after. They didn’t know what this handsome newcomer did for a living, but they vaguely guessed he was an athlete or a boxer.

Nigati caught sight of Naomi Kenway out of the corner of his eye and walked over excitedly, giving her a thumbs-up. "My goodness, Ms. Kenway, your husband is incredible! Does he have a side job besides running his company? Like a weightlifter?"

Naomi was amused by his humorous tone and laughed. "Not at all. He has a lot of work at the company, so I’m afraid he doesn’t have the energy for a side job."

"So he was born with that much strength?"

"Mm... I’d say it’s partly from training, too. From what I know, he really loves fitness and working out. We have an entire floor in our house that’s his personal gym."

Nigati laughed heartily. "No wonder your husband can’t bear to let you work. He does the work of three people all by himself!"

[Damn, he’s really bursting with strength! Our Nina is so lucky. Renee Jennings must be dying of jealousy!]

[A whole CEO actually sticks to a fitness routine. He’s so self-disciplined!]

[I feel like the richer people are, the more they care about their figure and appearance. Or maybe it’s two extremes. The rich are either extremely self-disciplined or not at all.]
