In an instant, the entire banquet erupted i

The three sons of the Quinnell family displayed

emarkable fierceness in defending their sister.

It was as if she was conveying to everyone that if they dared to mistreat her daughter, they should first

seek permission from her family–the Whitmans

Indeed, Marie wasn’t just Mrs. Quinnell; she was also the most favored daughter of the Whitman family.

No one dared to cause any further commotion. Even Winnie’s understanding of the situation was

shattered.

For years, Winnie believed she had been aiding Marie. That was why she had provided Naomi with so

many resources.

She had also attempted to persuade Wynter to let go of her grievances and not to misunderstand

Naomi.

Winnie never anticipated that the truth behind it would unfold this way.

Filled with regret, she yearned to reach for Marie’s hand, but a sudden recollection of Wynter’s words

at the outset halted her-“If Mom knew how you daughter like this, she would not be

happy.”

In that moment, Winnie felt a wave of self–condemnation wash over her.

How could her thoughts have been so muddled?

It would have been evident had she considered Marie’s character more carefully.

Why had she seemed to forget everything and solely focused on protecting Naomi?

Winnie shook her head in disbelief.

Observing Winnie’s reaction, Naomi realized that the effects of the medicinal ince were nearly

depleted. Her plan to hide behind and take advantage of everyone to stir up trouble was ruined!

Naomi never expected for Sebastian to show up. He was the brother she dreaded the most.

He certainly possessed a way with words that left no room for argument.

Naomi wondered when exactly her mother had recovered. Why hadn’t she been informed?

Even her dad did not inform her.

Furthermore, how could Marie have recuperated?

She had to keep up the facade!

Naomi immediately glanced at Shane. But at this moment, Shane couldn’t even defend himself, let

her.

Naomi couldn’t resort to using the medicinal incense in public.

She simply cried, shook her head, and bit her lip, appearing deeply distressed. “Sebastian, I swear I

didn’t. I really didn’t.”

“Stop addressing me by my first name,” Sebastian remarked. Then, he turned to everyone and said, “I

have a question for everyone here. Would you be willing to accept someone who persistently refuses

rejection and attempts to replace your loved ones?”

The men took a moment to process, but the women reacted differently.

How had they not noticed Naomi’s behavior before? Her frequent tears, her manipulative tactics?

“Who would tolerate such behavior? If she dares to interfere with my family, she’ll regret it!”

All the women saw through these deceitful tactics.

Mrs. Fenton was the one who spoke up. She had no tolerance for such manipulative behavior. Known

for her straightforwardness, she had no qualms about offending people.

She seldom mingled with the other ladies in the circle.

After all, they lacked skills and didn’t know how to appreciate good coffee.

Mrs. Fenton had anticipated that her remark might cause offense.
