Reese picked up the scarf, turning it over in her hands. She poked her finger through a hole and let out a snort.
"Well, would you look at that? It's torn. He must've forgotten to toss it out-definitely not like him. It's not even
cashmere, not soft at all. Whatever, just pack it away for now."
"Of course, ma'am."
Reese was Rupert's soon-to-be wife, so the housekeeper just nodded and took the scarf, stashing it in the box
nearby without another word.
Once Reese finished tidying up, she glanced around the walk-in closet. The floor was littered with her own
suitcases and a pile of clothes she'd decided to get rid of.
What if Rupert saw this mess and thought she was a slob?
"Can you guys helpclean this up? If you like any of these clothes, feel free to take whatever you want from
the pile."
"Thank you, Ms. Sanford."
With practiced efficiency, the staff swept up the boxes and carted them away.
Sylvia wandered back to Naomi's cottage. Naomi was busy fussing over the seating chart for the engagement
party.
Catching a glimpse of Sylvia's face, Naomi pressed her lips together. "You don't have to push yourself with this. |

Sylvia sat down and flipped open the guest book, scanning the notes. "No worries. If | don't help, someone else
will just end up making your life harder."

Naomi reached out and gently shut the book. "Sylvia, are you doing this because of me?"
"Of course. But are you really going to divorce Edwin?"
Naomi hesitated, looking uncertain. "I... | don't know."
Sylvia gave a reassuring smile, pretending not to care as she flipped to another page. "Don't worry. You two

Naomi relaxed a little, then confessed, "Sylvia, | used to think Rupert had feelings for you... but Reese is a good
person. She's nothing like Bridget. It's no surprise Rupert's chosen her. Everyone's rooting for them."
"Mom, please," Sylvia cut her off, her voice flat. "I get it."
Naomi sighed heavily, just as a few maids approached.
"Mrs. Naomi, the party favors for the engagement dinner have just arrived. Would you like to check and sign for
them?"
Noticing Sylvia zoning out over the guest list, Naomi grabbed her hand. "Con. Helpwith this."
Sylvia didn't protest.
Down in the foyer, Naomi opened one of the boxes to inspect the contents.
Sylvia glanced inside and did a
double-take. The gift boxes weren't just filled with luxury skincare but each one also had a custom-designed
designer bracelet, made especially for the engagement.

Naomi whispered, "Just the bracelet alone cost over four thousand dollars Add the skincare and those gourmet
chocolates, and each gift box is worth nearly eight grand."
Sylvia looked at the two hundred gift boxes stacked in the hall, her mind reeling at the numbers.
And this was only the engagement.
The delivery guy handed Naomi a
clipboard. "Mrs. Naomi, please
check and sign. Everything's bolnet
prepared exactly how Mr. Rupert wanted. We wouldn't dare mess it up." sw
At that, Sylvia went rigid, her hands balling into fists.
Rupert was cruel-forcing her to watch while he and Reese celebrated.

Her voice shook, "Where'd you get this?"
The maid quickly explained, "It was tossed out from Mr. Rupert's place. He said if
any of us liked it, we could have it."
