Chapter 3 Shes back ! She actually came back ! Ignoring peoples astonished expressions around her , Sylvia pinched herself hard . Pain swept through her body , instantly filling her eyes with tears.- Stop your crying ! Its not like we have wronged you ! a commanding voice echoed from the head of the table . Snapping back to reality , Sylvia looked up , meeting the old Mr. Garcia , Tristan Garcias displeased gaze . She quickly lowered her head , seemingly humble as ever , yet her body couldnt stop trembling with excitement . Whispers and snickers filled the air around her . Such a young age , and instead of learning good , she dares to drug Rupert and sneak into his bed , causing a scandal . Clearly , shes trying to force Rupert to take responsibility for her , and now she cant even own up to it . I dont know who raised her . hes obviously not one of us . We could never raise such a shameless person . Her online diary , obsessing over Rupert , was exposed , blushing at every word ! We spent money to send her to college , and this is what she learns , acting like a siren . I always said , dont just bring anyone home . Clearly , shes a wolf in sheeps clothing , clinging to Rupert . I wonder if its learned behavior or … inherited . With that , their gazes slid toward Sylvias mother , Naomi , standing at the end of the room . Naomis face was pale , glancing at Sylvia before quickly lowering her head , almost biting her inner lip raw , yet not daring to utter a word of rebuttal . Because Sylvias situation was too peculiar . She had entered the Garcia Manor through her mothers remarriage ; her mother married Ruperts second oldest brother . Thus , by relation , she should call Rupert uncle . But she never did . Because she didnt have the right . In her past life , Sylvia was also accused by these people , apologizing fearfully , indirectly admitting to drugging Rupert and forcing him to get intimate with her . Later , her pregnancy to ted Rupert to marry her . Not only did Rupert hate her , but the whole town despised her , thinking she was a woman who would do anything to marry into a wealthy family . This time , she was determined to rewrite her own tragedy ! Sylvia looked around , seeing the Garcias sitting upright , less timid than in her past life . Just as she was about to speak , a mans steady footsteps approached from behind . Except for Tristan , everyone else stood respectfully . The tall figure passed Sylvia and moved forward . The butler took his coat , nodding , Mr. Rupert Garcia . Rupert responded indifferently , nodding to Tristan at the head of the table before taking his seat gracefully . He didnt glance at Sylvia from beginning to end , as if she was insignificant to him . But Sylvia was staring at him intently . Until he felt her gaze and looked over at her . In that moment , Sylvia , with the memories of her past life , instinctively trembled with fear , tasting blood in her mouth , her hands clenched as if holding Stellas . She could never forget that face . Well defined features , inscrutable eyes , and the red jade ring on his left thumb , its luster hinting at blood . Just like him , seemingly indifferent but dangerously bloodthirsty . Rupert caught Sylvias gaze , his hand turning the ring pausing momentarily . Until a pair of soft , fair skinned hands rested on his shoulder , he returned his demeanor to its usual coldness . It was Bridget . Her eyes were red rimmed , her delicate face full of grievance . Finally , everyone was present .
