章 330: Thrust into the Whirlpool of Public Opinion

Compared to Cynthia's relaxed and comfortable state, the Sweeney residence was currently shrouded in a terrifying low pressure.

Ever since John Sweeney learned about Naomi being publicly forced to kneel and apologize, he had been sitting on the sofa, smoking one cigarette after another.

Naomi exchanged glances with her mother, attempting to speak several times but was consistently stopped by her mother. She held Naomi's hand, signaling her to remain calm.

Knowing John's temperament over the years, speaking at this moment would only provoke his baseless anger. Since Sweeney's company declined, John's temper had changed, becoming unpredictable, suspicious, and prone to overthinking.

Naomi bit her lip, gripping her hands on her knees tightly, her face alternating between red and white.

The present Sweeney family was not as prosperous as before. It was precisely because of this that they eagerly boarded the Louise family's ship, hoping to get a share from behind.
