After saying that James told everyone to go to their rooms and forget about this incident and that he would take care of it. Winona wanted to say something but James glared at her making her stop instantly. After Naomi entered her room she washed up and changed to comfortable clothes and entered the system space to use the computer and test her hacking skills as well as accepting the deal from the Starry Night group for her jewelry design.
Meanwhile in the master bedroom Winona was complaining to James about why he stopped her from beating up Naomi. She complained to James saying "Why did you stop me from teaching that girl a lesson, Since she already knows that she is the adopted daughter why don't we just use this chance and disown her?" James said "We can't disown her for now as she has made Richard's and Lillian's relationship public. If we disown her now then the shareholders of the company would get dissatisfied with it and will start to put pressure on our family. We need to wait for her to make a huge mistake to disgrace our family or something that causes harm to the family name, only then will we be able to disown her."
Later in the evening Mr and Mrs Davidson along with Richard came to the Smith villa to discuss a solution for the current problem. James said "Mr and Mrs. Davidson I think the best solution would be to cancel the engagement agreement between Naomi and Richard. As I even wanted to confess something to the Davidson family for the last three years." James then looked at Richard's parents Juliana and Anthony and said in a solemn tone "Actually Naomi is not really our biological daughter, we adopted her nine years ago"Davidson family were dumbstruck at this revelation and after some thought they felt that it would be the best outcome to cancel the engagement between the two. James then said "Since Richard and Lillian like each other, let's get them engaged on new year day." Mr and Mrs Davidson looked at their son and then nodded.
While they were discussing her engagement downstairs, Naomi was busy testing her hacking skills. She had already accepted the offer from the starry night group and now she had a total of ten thousand dollars in her account. Naomi tried to test her hacking skills by snooping around the surveillance from the day of her birthday from the time when she left the restaurant while leaving Lillian and Richard behind. She was able to successfully hack into the surveillance. Naomi couldn't wait to see how much her hacking skills would improve after she reached the expert level. She thought that she would be able to take on hacking tasks from the darknet to earn more money. That way she would soon be able to collect enough money to start her own company.
At seven she came downstairs to the dining table to have her dinner. James said "Naomi tomorrow we would be sending an official announcement that you are the adopted daughter and that the engagement between you and Richard has been called off, while Lillian would be getting engaged to Richard during new year." Naomi just hummed a response and continued having her meal.
After having her dinner Naomi returned to her room and started to prepare her bath. Naomi had her bath and lay down on her bed. Just then there was an alert from the system to inform her that the intermediate level of hacking skills has been successfully installed. Naomi asked the system to immediately start with installation for the expert level skills. Naomi then went to sleep as she had to wake up early to go for a run as she had to increase her physical strength to be able to develop her martial arts skills.
Next day early morning the Smith's made an official announcement to announce that Naomi is actually their adopted daughter and not a biological one and hence the one who should be engaged to the Davidson would be Lillian instead of Naomi. The Davidson's also made an official announcement saying that their engagement is no longer valid and that they would be holding an engagement ceremony between Richard and Lillian on the new year day.
Immediately the entire internet was in an uproar. Some were discussing how sorry they feel for Naomi as she suddenly became an adoptive daughter instead of being the eldest daughter and how her engagement with the Davidson was canceled. Some were gloating on Naomi's misfortune saying "Looks like the eldest daughter who always acted arrogant and aloof is actually just an adopted daughter." while there were all sorts of discussion happening online Naomi was not at all affected with all that fuzz she just went living her life as usual.
When Naomi reached her school, some students were laughing at her saying "Look at her, she still has the face to come to school. Yesterday she was behaving so high and mighty but it looks like she is just an adopted daughter. Who does she think she is to marry into the Davidson family." While some felt that the Smiths and the Davidsons were really shameless for making Naomi a scapegoat for clearing the names of the cheating couple. Naomi ignored them all and walked straight to her classroom..
Some boys found Naomi particularly attractive as she was really too aloof and strong willed. She was not at all affected by what was going around her. She looked confident like a queen.which was very attractive. While on the other end Lillian looked like a weak and shameless girl as she was behaving intimately with a guy whom she was not yet dating.
