Chapter 51

• Naomi slapped Claire four times right in front of Kenzo’s eyes.
• Each slap landed sharply, the crisp sound echoing through the long hospital corridor. The sudden violence stunned everyone present. Claire staggered slightly from the force, her face turning red almost instantly as the clear imprint of Naomi’s fingers appeared on both cheeks.
• For Kenzo, the scene was humiliating beyond measure. Watching the woman he once protected strike another woman so openly in public dealt a brutal blow to his pride.
