RedNovelChapter 481 "Blowing off ssteam? Really..." Edwin let out a cold chuckle.
He'd always been the mellow one in the Garcia family, the guy with the easy smile and the steady nerves. Even when Tristan cdown on him, he never complained. But right now, his laughter sounded bitter-almost warped.
"Edwin, con," Kay stepped in, trying to smooth things over. "Tristan's not heartless, otherwise he wouldn't have cto see Naomi. Don't make things harder for him." Edwin's expression turned icy. "This is my family's business. Don't need outsiders lecturing me." Kay's face tightened. She clenched her fists and glared at him for a moment before scoffing.
"How's it none of my business? Did you forget, Edwin? There's still a lot left unresolved with Naomi. Now she suddenly collapses? I'd say that's worth looking into." "Kay!" Edwin snapped, jaw tight.
"That's enough!" Tristan cut in, his tone sharp as a knife. "Kay's just making a reasonable point. It's a little too convenient, don't you think?" Edwin stared at Tristan, lips parting in disbelief before he pressed them together in a hard line.

Kay flicked her hair over her shoulder and sneered. "Geez, what a temper. Anyone'd think you were sheiress or something." Sylvia glared right back, her patience gone. "And who are you, exactly? What are you to the Garcia family? Do we need a circus act jumping around, making things worse? If you didn't get it the first time, I'll make it even simpler." "Out!" The whole hospital room fell silent.
Kay's face was thunderous, and even Tristan looked embarrassed.
He raised his hand as if to hit Sylvia, but Lester stepped in, blocking him.
"Tristan, Reese and I already talked about it. We're not going to make a fuss about the engagement party." "Yeah, seriously," Reese jumped in quickly. "It was supposed to be a celebration. No point in making things ugly. I'll cover the costs myself." Kay shot them a look. "Are you two out of your minds? You're just going to let this slide?" Lester frowned. "Aunt Kay, that's enough." They respected Kay, sure, but that didn't mean she got to run the entire Sanford family.
Tristan's jaw clenched, but he wasn't about to let Sylvia off the hook.
"No way! Even if the Sanfords don't press charges, the Garcias have a reputation to protect. We can't just ignore a traitor in the family. She stole enough to put her behind bars for a long time." Jail? Sylvia was stunned, her back drenched in cold sweat, terror locking up her whole body.
Tristan wouldn't say that unless everythi soon as Naomi woke up, Sylviet would be hauled off.
She looked to Rupert-the one person who could stop all this.
He stood there, expressionless and unmoved, like slighthouse on a distant shore.
Their eyes met for a split second. He just stared back, calm and silent.
A wave of pain crashed over Sylvia, and something inside her finally snapped.
She grabbed whatever she could from the table-a paperweight, a water bottle- and hurled it at Rupert.
"Get out! Get out of here!"
Rupert didn't even flinch. A fruit knife grazed his ear, leaving thin fed line that The content is novelenglish.net! welled with b Gontent I belongs to sta Seeing him bleed, the whole room panicked.
Even Tristan, who'd been so smug a moment ago, suddenly looked worried.
Lester grabbed Sylvia from behind. "Sylvia, calm down. Con." "Everyone out," he said. "She's not herself right now."
Rupert watched as Sylvia collapsed into Lester's arms, then stepped forward, but Reese pulled him back. "Rupert, you're bleeding. Let's give Sylvia sspace to cool off."
Out of the corner of her eye, Sylvia saw Rupert leave, Reese guiding him out. He didn't look back.
