NovelEnglish"Then take a good look. See who this really is."
As soon as Tristan finished speaking, the bodyguard shoved Naomi into the room.
Naomi stumbled and nearly fell against the edge of the bed, but Sylvia rushed over and caught her just in time.
Before they could steady themselves, Kay stormed over and yanked open Naomi's blouse.
"See? This is our Mrs. Naomi-flaunting another man's marks! No wonder she's been hiding. | wouldn't want to
show my face either."
Naomi tried to fight back, but she was still weak from her injuries-no match for Kay's aggression.
Thankfully, Sylvia managed to pull the blouse closed and button it up again, shielding Naomi from further
humiliation.
Naomi's face burned with shame, her eyes brimming with tears. "Kay, you've gone too far."
Kay snorted. "Too far? Please. At least | don't mess around with pretty boys. Can you say the woman in this photo
isn't you?"
She waved a compromising photo in Naomi's face.
Naomi glanced at it, bit her lip so hard it nearly bled, and said nothing.
"So you admit it." Kay's tone was mocking, her eyes gleaming with triumph. "I feel sorry for Mr. Edwin, really. To
think he married someone like you."
"And who do you think is worthy then, Ms. Winslet?" Sylvia shot back, not missing a beat.
"Enough!" Tristan barked, cutting through the tension like a knife. His voice left no room for argument. "That's
your idea of manners? The Garcia family won't tolerate anyone like you. Take your mother and get out-both of
you! Edwin will deal with the divorce himself soon enough."
The word "divorce" made Naomi break down. Tears streamed down her face, her voice lost. She looked as if
she'd been nailed to the wall of shame, all color draining from her.

Sylvia wrapped an arm around her mother, ready to say something, but before she could speak, a cold, deep
voice echoed from the doorway.
"Since when does anyone else get to decide who divorces whom?"
Everyone instinctively stepped aside.
Reese entered, her arm linked with Rupert's.
Rupert headed straight for the couch in the corner, settling into the shadows where his expression was hard to
read. He pulled out a cigarette, lighting it in the dim glow, smoke curling around his face and making his features
even more inscrutable.
Still, even in the half-light, the chill in the air from him was impossible to ignore. All eyes turned to him, waiting
for his verdict.
Tristan folded his arms and squinted at Rupert. "What's your take? You'll be head of the family soon. Don't let the
elders down handling a mess like this."
Kay's lips curled into a sly smile. "Isn't it something? Naomi sneaking around with sboy toy, and | heard
from Mrs Hanson that Sylvia. actually agreed to marry Yves, who's got a reputation for being violent. These two
have quite an interesting taste in men, huh?"

Rupert took a long drag from his cigarette, then looked at Kay. Just one glance was enough to make her fall
silent, her confidence wilting away.
But she'd made her point-the way everyone in the room was now glaring at Naomi and Sylvia with disdain said it
all.
Reese, sensing the tension, tried to smooth things over. "This is between Edwin and Naomi. No matter what we
think, it's up to them to sort it out as a couple."
She glanced meaningfully at Rupert.
He exhaled a cloud of smoke and nodded. "Let's wait for Edwin to chome. He'll make the decision."
Everyone murmured agreement. Family scandals weren't meant for the world; best to keep the doors closed and
settle things in private.
Just as everyone seemed ready to accept this, Sylvia stepped in front of Naomi, her laughter icy.
"So that's it? You all barge in here, ready to play judge and jury, and Mr. Rupert isn't even going to check the
facts?"
"My mom is still Mrs. Garcia-still
part of this family. Yet you let some
outsider throw, shade and insult her,
while you all pretend to be so
tolerant and noble."

"When did the Garcia family becafraid of the Winslets? Or is there something you're not telling us?"
Sylvia's cold gaze swept around the room.
Kay's face twisted with rage. She
jabbed the photo in the air. “SYR,

No one spoke. Their silence was answer enough-they trusted Kay.
Kay smirked, already savoring her victory. She could stir up trouble in the Garcia family because she had
someone protecting her.
