"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. I 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.

Naomi's face burned with shame, her eyes brimming with tears. "Kay, you've gone too far."

Kay snorted. "Too far? Please. At least I 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.
