Jack and Naomi were chatting openly, without a care about the family members around them.

Naomi used to worry that her sister-in-law, Emily, might get hurt. But after witnessing the whole thing, she was left speechless.

Jack thought to himself that Emily and her husband were definitely not the kind of people to mess with.

The butler quietly slipped away, realizing just how polite Emily had been to the Cedillo family at her wedding. She hadn't even laid a finger on anyone despite the tension! Basking in the warm sunlight, Emily looked up at Jack and Naomi with a cheeky smile, "Dad, Naomi, did you enjoy watching me stand up for myself just now?"

Jack blinked his amber eyes, "Uh, yeah, it was something."

Naomi coughed lightly, "Emily, sweetie, let's try to keep things peaceful, okay?"

Emily, looking innocent, replied, "But Naomi, I was just defending myself."

Naomi blinked, not daring to argue, "Ah, right, self-defense. Just, try to avoid it in the future, okay?"

Emily's gaze flitted between them, "Dad, Naomi, you're not scared of me now, are you? Thinking I might turn on you next?"

The duo exchanged awkward glances. Silence filled the air, an eerie calm.

"Oh, come on..." Emily protested.

Then, in the yard, she defended herself loudly, "Of course not, you're my family. Why would I ever turn on you? I've never raised my hand to you. My fights are with the outside world, not within." Jack nodded, "That's all I needed to hear."
