The Villain Mom Awakens — Going Viral by Parenting on a Reality Show-Chapter 359: A Huge Upheaval at the Birthday Banquet

[To those saying his ex-wife got what she deserved, it’s not like Nathaniel Lynch only started mistreating her after he found out she cheated. He’d always treated his ex-wife like a slave. I’m not trying to defend Victoria Vance, but after giving it some thought, I feel like you can see why she had an affair.]

[That ex-wife really suffered in the Lynch Family. It’s a good thing they divorced, so they can stop torturing each other.]

[Victoria Vance looks so sophisticated and elegant. I can’t believe she would cheat.]

[Naomi Kenway’s motive for bringing Victoria Vance here is so suspicious. Maybe she can’t stand Nathaniel Lynch and his wife, so she brought the ex over just to mess with them?]

[Why are people still defending Victoria Vance? She cheated. There’s nothing to defend.]

...

At eleven in the morning, Renee Jennings’s birthday party began as scheduled. At the dreamlike celebration, Renee Jennings went around with Nathaniel Lynch, toasting their guests.

"Such a grand birthday party! President Lynch really dotes on his wife, hahaha!"

"The two of you make such a perfect couple walking over. A match made in heaven! I wonder, when will you be giving Nathan a little brother or sister?"

"Oh, Mrs. Lynch, happy birthday! And Old Lynch, you’re looking better than ever. I’m so happy to see you’ve moved on. All that terrible business is in the past. I wish you and your lovely wife a lifetime of happiness. Come, a toast!"

...

The party was very lively.

Naomi Kenway had already led Ian and Victoria Vance from a room out into the open-air garden.

Victoria Vance scanned the area, but she couldn’t find the person she longed to see. She frowned slightly, a hint of disappointment on her face.

Naomi Kenway knew what she was thinking and directly asked a nearby attendant to summon Sophia Zobel.

Sophia Zobel hurried over. She struggled in her high heels, her heavy-set body swaying as she walked, her forehead beaded with sweat. "Mrs. Shaw, is there something you need?"

"I haven’t seen Nathan in a while, and I miss the boy. Have him come over."

Ian turned to Sophia Zobel. "Ian wants to play with Nathan."

"You miss Nathan too, Ian?" Naomi Kenway said with a smile. When it came to her son, she was exceptionally patient and gentle.

Seeing Victoria Vance’s emotional expression, Sophia Zobel hesitated for a moment. But then a thought struck her. ’The Shaw Family’s young master is so fond of Nathan. This might be a good chance to build a connection.’

At that thought, a pleased expression appeared on Sophia Zobel’s face. ’She knew it,’ she thought. ’Her precious boy was loved everywhere he went.’

Sophia Zobel said with a smile, "Nathan’s upstairs doing his homework. He said he doesn’t like crowds and didn’t want to come down, so I didn’t force him. But I’m sure he’ll be happy to see his friend. I’ll have someone call for him right now."

Naomi Kenway nodded.

A moment later, Nathan Lynch came running and threw himself into Victoria Vance’s arms. "Mom..."

They faced each other and cried for a moment. Victoria Vance sniffled, then smiled at Nathan Lynch. "Nathan, we have your Aunt Kenway to thank for being able to see each other again."

Nathan Lynch turned to look at Naomi Kenway, his nose red from crying. He couldn’t hold back his tears when he saw her. "Aunt Kenway..."

A small, soft hand took hers, and Naomi Kenway’s heart stirred. Suddenly, her other hand was also gently held. Naomi turned her head and saw Ian Shaw, looking up at her with his big, dark, adorable, and pitiful eyes.

Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Naomi Kenway held Nathan Lynch’s hand while pulling Ian into her embrace.

Not far away, Renee Jennings noticed what was happening over with Naomi Kenway. She frowned and poked Nathaniel Lynch, who was standing beside her.

Nathaniel Lynch followed her gaze, and his smile instantly vanished. But when his eyes fell on Sophia Zobel standing nearby, he could only sigh. "Forget it. Just let them be for a little while. We’re at our own home, after all."

Renee Jennings reluctantly agreed.

[Looks like Victoria Vance treats Nathan really well. You can tell from his reaction. He’s never this emotional around Renee Jennings.]

[She’s his biological mother, after all. Of course she loves her son. The Lynch Family’s previous rule forbidding her from seeing her child was just too inhumane.]

[Nathan has suffered so much in the Lynch Family. If it’s really that bad, they should just let him go home with his mom. At least he would be happy.]

...

A huge cake was wheeled to the center of the venue by attendants, drawing gasps of surprise from the crowd.

Nathaniel Lynch led Renee Jennings onto the stage. Nathan Lynch stood between them, looking none too pleased.

Renee Jennings smiled sweetly and held Nathan Lynch’s hand tightly, putting on a gentle facade.
