Benjamin's expression was dark as he turned to Quentin and sternly said, "Come with me to the study."

Without sparing him another glance, Benjamin turned and headed straight to his study.

Quentin placed his hand on Naomi's shoulder and said, "Naomi, wait for me."

Mary watched them coldly from the side.

Before he left, Quentin gave Mary a stern and icy look. "Mary, I'm the one responsible for this entire situation, so don't make things difficult for Naomi anymore. I'll take full responsibility."

Mary's expression turned ashen, but she did not say a word.

Turning back to Naomi, he looked at her cheek sympathetically and said, "It's swollen."

When he saw the tears pooling in Naomi's eyes, he felt a pang of pain in his heart. He asked the housekeepers for some ointment and placed it in Naomi's hand. "Apply some cream first."

Naomi hummed in agreement.

Still worried about Naomi, Quentin called Amy Briley, a housekeeper who had watched him grow up and treated him well. He instructed her to look after Naomi for him.

Although he had used the word "look after", his main goal was to protect Naomi and prevent Mary from hitting Naomi again.

With all those arrangements made, Quentin headed to the study.

Naomi entered the room with the cream, while Mary and Amy followed behind him.

Seeing Naomi apply the cream on her cheeks, Mary began to insult her.

"Naomi, there are so many fishes out there in the sea. Must you really seduce your own brother? Are you that desperate for a man?" Mary's tone was vicious, and her words were cruel.

Tears immediately streamed down Naomi's cheeks as she cried sadly. Quentin was the one who had forced his feelings on her first.

Mary was supposed to be her mom, yet Mary had assumed she was the one who had seduced Quentin without understanding the situation.
