NovelGoldChapter 434
Sylvia washed her hands, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to help Naomi with the dinner prep when Edwin
strolled in, shrugging off his jacket.
"All right, you two go grab a bite and relax. I've got this covered," he said, rolling up his own sleeves.
"Thanks, honey." Naomi's eyes crinkled up with her smile.
"Thanks." Sylvia grabbed two bowls of soup and plopped down at the little table, sipping away.
You could really taste the difference when soup was made from good, fresh ingredients.
Naomi and Edwin shared a sweet moment before finally joining Sylvia at the table. Naomi barely sat down before
she snatched Sylvia's soup and downed it in
one go.
"Ugh, | was dying of thirst. By the way, | found out everything you wanted to know."
"Found out? Mom, what did | ask you to investigate?" Sylvia looked at her, surprised.
"Reese, of course."
Maybe it was curiosity, but Sylvia didn't interrupt.
Naomi leaned in, lowering her voice. "Reese is the eldest daughter of the prestigious Sanford family from Sea
Town. She went to college overseas-suniversity as Rupert. When Rupert had that car accident abroad, it was
Reese who pulled him out right before the explosion. She got seriously hurt herself and ended up losing her leg."
"When she was rushed to the hospital, Bridget-who was also out of the country -happened to see her. Bridget
swapped their IDs, so Rupert thought it was Bridget who saved his life."
"All these years, Reese was in rehab overseas. Rupert got engaged to Bridget for reasons nobody could figure
out, and people just thought he'd finally found someone he liked, so Reese didn't cback."
"It wasn't until Bridget's little scandal blew up in their social circle that Reese found out the truth. She rushed

"Even though she's disabled now, there's something about her confidence and class—she's just on another
level."
Naomi couldn't help but gush as she spoke.
Clearly, Reese was nothing like Bridget, with all her fake charm.
Sylvia pressed her lips together, her face drained of color.
After a while, a housekeeper hurried over.
"Mrs. Naomi, they're almost done eating up front. Should | bring out the fruit platter?"
"They're done already?"
Naomi looked stunned as she
glanced down at the two empty bowls in front of her. She hadn't
even made it to the main table at the family dinner she'd planned So carefully.
Sylvia noticed Naomi's disappointment and patted her hand. "Mom, I'll take care
of the fruit. You go rest your back for a bit."
Naomi didn't argue.
Sylvia checked the small plates of sliced fruit, arranged them neatly on the
Qing cart, and wheeled them
out with another housekeeper
toward the dining room.
Standing at the doorway, they could see everything inside.
Tristan, usually so serious, looked nothing like his usual stern self. He was
beaming, the picture of a proud grandfather.
Following his gaze, Sylvia saw
Rupert peeling shrimp beside Reese. After making sure there were no shells left, he carefully placed the shrimp
on Reese's plate.
Reese looked up at him with a radiant smile, her eyes sparkling.
Everyone at the table was laughing—real, genuine laughter.
It felt like, with Sylvia and Naomi
absent, the dinner gbig final."

"You take these in. | need to use the restroom," she said quietly.
"Of course."

Reese smiled slightly. "Mr. Rupert, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing. Let's eat."
Rupert put down the shrimp and took the towel from the housekeeper to wipe his hands.
Reese glanced at the shrimp on her plate, a faint blush on her cheeks.
"Thank you. If my fingers weren't hurt, | wouldn't need to trouble you like this."
