    Guests at Eleanor''s birthday banquet were either wealthy or noble. Despite the scandal surrounding the Warren family due to Aurora, Reba still attended with her daughter-inw and children. In the presence of so many influential figures, Reba felt remarkably insignificant.


    As she looked at the well-dressed guests, she recalled the former glory of her family. When she had first married, that period of splendor had been as fleeting as a firework. The prominence she once held was etched in her heart, and she longed to return to her former heights.


    Unfortunately, her husband was weak, and her eldest son mediocre. Only her second son, Barrett, had married the then-Marquis of


    Northwatch''s daughter.


    Who could have anticipated that shortly after Carissa''s marriage, the Sinir family would be annihted? The Sinir familycked strong male heirs, and with Mnie gone, all Carissa could offer them now was wealth.


    So, when Barrett returned with his military achievements and sought. to marry Aurora, they saw the future filled with the glory Rebal had always desired, while Carissa was discarded. Yet, fate rarely aligned with one''s wishes.


    Hector was posthumously honored with the title of duke, and Carissa became the legitimate daughter of a duke. She also achieved military merit and earned widespread acim.

    As she observed thedies'' gazes, Reba noted theck of warmth. Despite their outward politeness, there was no enthusiasm in their eyes, only a palpable indifference. She could sense their disdain. Just as she was about to retreat awkwardly, Eleanor gently asked, Reba, I''ve heard that your health has not been well. How are you faring now?"Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Réba was taken aback. How did Eleanor know about her health


    issues? However, it was not entirely surprising, as Amelia had once gone to the physician''s office to plead for Snowdrop Pills.


    Feeling surprised and ttered, Reba responded, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am much better now."


    Loungingfortably in her chair, Eleanor smiled at Reba. " You''re about my age. How could your health be so poor? I''ve heard that your former daughter-inw cared for you day and night. She must be quite a devoted person."
