Chapter 25 Naomi's Pretending Game

• Naomi McCloud strolled through the grand halls of McCloud Mansion with an air of confidence and grace that concealed her true intentions. To anyone observing, she appeared to be the epitome of a devoted daughter, caring for her aging father, William McCloud, with utmost dedication. But behind the mask of concern, Naomi harbored a dark, calculated plan to ensure her daughter Mildred would take over McCloud Company, regardless of William’s wishes.
• William sat in his favorite armchair by the window, gazing out at the lush gardens that had been his pride and joy for decades. Naomi entered the room, her expression softening as she approached him.
• “Good morning, Father. How are you feeling today?” she asked, her voice dripping with faux concern.
