NovelOnlineChapter 476
When Naomi heard Tristan was looking for her, she figured he wanted to
compliment her efficiency. With a smug grin, she grabbed Sylvia's arm and led her straight out.
As Sylvia stepped into the living room, she was surprised to see not only the Garcias but the entire Sanford clan
gathered there as well.
The second the two women entered, every pair of eyes in the room fixed on them with thinly veiled contempt.
Sylvia barely made it to the center of the room before she met Rupert's icy stare.
He was seated at the head of the room, slowly twisting a ruby ring around his finger, his face set in a look of cold
detachment.
Sylvia instantly knew-something had gone terribly wrong.
She'd barely found her footing when she noticed dozens of unwrapped gift bags scattered across the floor.
Before she could say a word, Reese hurried over, worry etched all over her face. "Sylvia, what's going on with
these gifts?"
Sylvia leaned in for a closer look but Naomi, as if recalling something, jumped in, "Ms. Sanford, did we forget
something in the gift bags? | can call someone to fix it right away."
Reese held up her hand to stop her, her face conflicted as she turned to Sylvia. "Sylvia, are you sure you weren't
too tired and missed something?"
Sylvia frowned, confused, just as the sound of a porcelain cup clattering onto a saucer echoed from the side sofa.
She glanced over and saw a woman in a champagne-colored silk dress, a pair of elegant black Tahitian pearls

She wore a gentle smile, but her eyes were cold as they landed on Sylvia and Naomi.
"Reese, | know you mean well," the woman said, her tone smooth but firm, "but this concerns the reputation of
both families. We need an explanation."
"Aunt Kay! Sylvia and Naomi have always treatedkindly. | trust them completely," Reese blurted, her voice
strong.
Aunt?
Sylvia's mind raced, searching for any memory of this woman.
In her past life, after marrying Rupert and having their child, she'd been kept on a tight leash, rarely allowed out.
Her only escape was browsing the internet.
It took her a moment, but she remembered-Kay Winslet.
Mrs. Sanford's closest friend, and the only female CEO of the Winslet Group.
Brilliant, refined, and famously independent.
After Mrs. Sanford passed away,
Kay had practically beca second mother to the Sanford

blood, they all called her "Aunt Kay."
Rumors once swirled that she wanted to marry into the Sanford family herself, but
Kay had publicly declared herself a lifelong bachelorette.
Sylvia only knew about this old
gossip because, years later, Kay had stunned everyone by marrying a mysterious man and moving
abroad-breaking her own voel net?
tabloids had gone wild, and Sylvia had seen a single paparazzi shot of the couple at the airport. For sreason,
the man's silhouette had seemed oddly familiar.
Now, Kay stood, her smile barely there.
"Your sister-in-law? Reese, just because you give your heart to someone doesn't
mean they won't take advantage."
Reese bit her lip, lost for words.
"Ms. Winslet, what are you
implying? Naomi shot back, her

Kay gave her a mirthless smile. "Of course you did. Otherwise, how else would you pocket so much on the side?"

"Is that so?"
Kay cast a glance at the mess of gift bags on the floor.
A sinking feeling hit Sylvia. She tore open one of the boxes at random.
The second she held the custom bracelet in her hand, she realized it was far too light.
Luxury brands always had their marks. Sylvia checked for the maker's stamp and felt her blood run cold.

The price difference was staggering.
With at least fifty boxes here, that was nearly half a million dollars gone.
Sylvia's fingers trembled.
Naomi looked over dismissively and huffed, "Everything's here. How can you
