The Villain Mom Awakens — Going Viral by Parenting on a Reality Show-Chapter 195: Renee Jennings, Are You Crazy?

As Renee Jennings spoke, she pushed Six behind her. "Six, does your leg still hurt?" she asked gently. "Don’t you worry. Aunt Renee is here. I absolutely will not let you be mistreated."

"Renee Jennings, are you insane?" Naomi Kenway froze, her expression turning icy.

"I’m insane? You’re the one who’s insane," Renee Jennings retorted. "Six is already such a poor thing, how dare you order her around? Naomi, you’re so selfish, always trying to slack off. Do you really need someone else to run your errands for you?"

Fed up with the racket, Naomi Kenway’s face went completely cold. "So self-righteous, sticking your nose into everything. You’d better shut your mouth right now, or I won’t hesitate to throw you out."

Naomi Kenway rarely lost her temper, but when she did, it was completely overwhelming.

Renee Jennings instinctively lowered her head slightly, avoiding that intimidating gaze. Her voice wavered. "You... I see whenever you can’t win an argument with me, you resort to threats. What’s the point of that...?"

The moment she realized her voice was trembling, Renee Jennings wanted to slap herself. She snapped her head up to look at Naomi Kenway, her eyes flashing with humiliation-fueled rage.

’How could I? How could I let Naomi Kenway intimidate me time and time again?’

"You always pull this kind of stunt, Naomi. No matter what you say today, I can’t let you bully Six! It’s one thing for you to bully me all the time, but how can I stand by and let you bully a child?"

A look of distress crossed Six’s face. She waved her hands frantically and said, "Please, don’t fight! Don’t fight because of me! I’m not worth it!"

Naomi Kenway’s gaze fell on Six. "Six, was I bullying you just now?"

Six looked confused. "Bullying? How could Fairy Sister bully me? I love spending time with you!" As she spoke, she broke into a smile, her big, bright eyes crinkling into little crescents.

"Did you hear that? Six doesn’t have a problem with it, I don’t have a problem with it. Do you have a problem with it?"

Renee Jennings’s expression faltered. ’I can’t believe I’m starting to resent Six. I’m clearly standing up for her, but she sides with Naomi Kenway. What an ungrateful little brat!’

"With all these cameras here, of course Six isn’t going to say what she really thinks. Besides, shouldn’t we be helping the disabled? Naomi, do you not even have that basic sense of decency?"

"As far as I’m concerned, she’s just a normal little girl, no different from any other kid her age. But you..." Naomi Kenway’s voice was frigid. "You’re the one who’s truly prejudiced against Six, aren’t you? Hiding behind a banner of ’helping others’ while saying the most malicious things. There’s no one more disgusting than you, Renee Jennings!"

Renee Jennings was so angry her lips trembled. "How dare you twist this around and blame me..."

She was about to launch into a tirade when a small, slender hand gripped her wrist. Renee Jennings looked down.

Six’s eyes were bright and clear. She looked a little apprehensive as she swallowed hard. After a moment’s hesitation, she said, "Actually... I’m not any different from other kids. The village chief always says I’m smart and capable, that I can help my mom with laundry, cooking, and fetching water! My leg..."

Her eyelashes lowered, as if a sore spot had been touched. "I hurt my leg on the mountain. I don’t know how long it will take to get better, but my mom said I’m the healthiest kid. My leg doesn’t hurt at all, and I want to always be a healthy kid!"

She looked back at Renee Jennings, her expression conflicted. In a small voice, she said, "Aunt Renee, I... I don’t like being taken care of like this..."

Renee Jennings’s expression turned sour in an instant.

Naomi Kenway noticed that the incident had left Six looking downcast. She reached out and gently brushed the hair from the girl’s forehead. "Don’t doubt yourself. You’ve always been a brave and smart kid!"

Six leaned against her and murmured in assent.

[Renee Jennings’s intentions were good, but she really should have considered Six’s feelings. This is a classic case of good intentions leading to a bad outcome.]

[Who knows if Renee Jennings’s intentions were good or bad. Either way, her constantly harping on her being disabled is really uncomfortable. The scariest part is that she’s completely unaware of it and thinks she’s some great philanthropist. These self-righteous do-gooders are terrifying!]

[Everyone says Naomi Kenway has a bad temper, but she’s respectful and patient with her friends, and gentle and considerate with kids. So what exactly is the standard for a ’good temper’? I think she’s emotionally stable, at least not like a certain guest who has meltdowns all day long.]

[Go, Six! You’re such a strong kid! You’re no worse than any other child, you’re the healthiest little treasure! (Thumbs up)(Thumbs up)]

[I originally started watching this stream for Renee Jennings, but now I’m a Naomi Kenway fan...]

The village chief lifted the door flap and came out. Seeing the tense standoff, he grew flustered. He hurried forward, pulled Six to his side, and began apologizing profusely.

"Did Six cause trouble for everyone? I’m so sorry. I’ll have her apologize to you two right now..."

"That’s not necessary," Naomi Kenway said quickly. "Six didn’t do anything wrong. In fact, you could say she’s the victim here..."

Her gaze was fixed on Renee Jennings, openly and without concealment.

Renee Jennings bit her lip and said nothing more.

Ten minutes later, the guests had finished helping the villagers clean up the courtyard and gathered once more to choose their houses.

The method for choosing houses this time was brutally simple. The director had someone lay five photographs out on a table.

"As you can see, the photos on the table are of the houses you’ll be staying in for this segment. They are arranged in order. Now, you will all choose a house based on the results of the mountain climbing competition."

"Let me repeat the results of the mountain climbing competition:

First place is Ruby Preston and her son,

Second place is Margaret Jennings and her daughter,

Third place is Naomi Kenway and her son,

Fourth place is Chelsea Raines and her son,

And in fifth place, we have Renee Jennings and her son."

Naomi Kenway bent down slightly and held out her palm. "Come on, son. Let’s celebrate third place!" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Ian high-fived her. "Yay!"

Chelsea Raines sneered. "Anyone who didn’t know better would think you got first place. What’s so great about a mediocre rank like that? If it were me, I’d be hiding under the covers and crying."

"Oh?" Naomi Kenway glanced at her. "By that logic, since you came in second to last, shouldn’t you be atoning for it with your life?"

Chelsea Raines turned her head away in a huff.

Renee Jennings instinctively glanced at Nathan Lynch beside her.

’Fifth place...’

’We could have been first...’

Naomi Kenway led Ian a few steps forward. The five photos were laid out in a row. They were all of red-brick, tile-roofed houses, not very different from each other, except for... House Number Five.

As was the production team’s custom, House Number Five was as dilapidated as ever. This time, however, it had reached a new low.
