Pamela, Lucas’s sister, stopped filming content for social media and laughed in disbelief.
“Are you really going to humiliate your own mother just to defend those people?” Pamela mocked.
Lucas moved between his family and his in-laws.
“Those people are my family, and they possess far better manners than the two of you combined,” Lucas stated firmly.
Betsy lifted her chin, still certain her son would eventually give in.
“In that case, everyone else can leave while Pamela and I stay here to enjoy the house without farmers ruining our photos,” Betsy scoffed.
Naomi exchanged one quick glance with Lucas.
He understood immediately.
“Fine then,” Lucas said smoothly. “Enjoy the place while you still can.”
Lucas collected his in-laws’ bags and headed toward the door. Before leaving, Naomi approached the property manager and quietly gave him instructions.
Her calm smile immediately made Pamela uneasy.
An hour later, as their car traveled down the highway, Naomi had already booked four first-class tickets to Key West and a private beachfront villa.
Walter and Nancy still thought they were simply returning to their modest hometown.
Naomi then made one final call to the property service.
“I am the sole reservation holder,” Naomi said firmly into the receiver. “Cancel all remaining services immediately and remove the two women staying on the property, regardless of whether there is a refund.”
Beside her, Lucas opened his phone and blocked the supplementary credit card his mother had been using to support her extravagant lifestyle.
Back at the cabin, Betsy toasted with expensive champagne and bragged that she had finally put everyone in their proper place.
Then a hard knock sounded at the front door.
Pamela opened it and froze.
