"She did all this for the Carmens-she admitted herself that she setand Uncle Rupert up, and when she

succeeded, the Garcias practically belonged to the Carmens. All she ever cared about was her own family."

A wave of murmurs rippled through the room.

"Can you believe it? It was her who wrecked Rupert and Sylvia," someone whispered.

"Makes sense now. She was the one who organized that seafood dinner- tampering with the food would've been

a piece of cake for her. No one even suspected."

"Seriously, does she think the Carmens are still the spowerhouse they were twenty years ago?"

The whispers broke down what little composure Fiona had left.

She looked frail and sickly, like a puppet with its strings cut, collapsing right onto the floor.

Her fists clenched weakly. "Is it so wrong to fight for my family? Tristan only agreed to marrybecause of my

family's influence! When we started going downhill, he didn't lift a finger to help. All he did was nitpick and

criticize. This is all his fault!"

Fiona glared up at Tristan, who sat at the head of the table.

"Enough! Why would | help you? Your brother's a lost cause-helping you would be a waste." Tristan's voice

boomed, full of disdain.

"A waste?" Fiona gave a bitter, shaky laugh, tasting blood in her mouth. "Ha... in the end, we're all just pawns in

someone's game."

Tristan shot a look at the butler, waving a hand dismissively. "Take her out. | won't have her spreading nonsense

in front of everyone."

The butler nodded and had the maids help Fiona out of the room.

Warren sat in the corner, his mind spinning in a haze.

When Tristan glanced his way, there was a flicker of contempt in his eyes.

He took the fresh cup of coffee the maid handed him, flicked the lid aside, and said solemnly, "Fiona's been ill for

a while. Clearly, she's just rambling."

"Yes, sir,” everyone murmured in agreement, bowing their heads.

Satisfied, Tristan's expression softened, but his eyes hardened again when he looked at the mother and daughter

sitting quietly to the side.

"Patrick, you're back now. Deal with these outsiders-give them smoney and send them off. There's no point

taking in just anyone. As for Fiona, we'll say she's been sent abroad for treatment. We have a reputation to

uphold."

Patrick gave a cold laugh. "Who said | cback for good? My nis Miles Garcia now, and I'd rather be as far

from this place as possible. If Edwin hadn't toldabout the mess with Rupert and Warren, I'd never have set

foot here again."

"Are you insane?" Tristan snapped, voice rising.

"Maybe! I'm done with the so-called glory built on backstabbing and lies! And you don't even getstarted on

you." He pointed at the memorial shelf, voice trembling with fury "What right do you have to put my mother's

photo up there?"

Sylvia followed Patrick's gaze, noticing the old portrait for the first time. She instinctively glanced at Rupert.

Rupert stared at his mother's picture, hands clenched so tightly on the armrest his knuckles had turned red.

Tristan started to rise, as if to intervene, but Patrick didn't care anymore.

"Why are all you elders so quiet? Embarrassed, aren't you?"

He glared down the line of older relatives, all of them with grey beards and grim faces.

Patrick strode over to Warren. "You

think just because you're healthy,

you're entitled to inhértthé Garcia

2inily BsiRess? No. I'm not the

rightful heir, and neither are you!

Edwin doesn't qualify, either!" The

"Why did she risk her life to have another child in middle age? Because she couldn't swallow the humiliation!"

"She was the gentlest woman you could meet, but just because she couldn't have

a baby, everyone told her to suck it up for the sake of appearances."

Patrick turned on Tristan again, his anger blazing.
