took a liking to them, their marriage prospects would be secured.

Guests at Eleanor's birthday banquet were either wealthy or noble. Despite the scandal surrounding the Warren family due to Aurora, Rebecca still attended with her daughter-in-law and children. In the presence of so many influential figures, Rebecca 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 Sinclair family would be annihilated? The Sinclair family lacked strong male heirs, and with Melanie 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 Rebeccal 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 acclaim.

As she observed the ladies' gazes, Rebecca noted the lack 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, Rebecca, I've heard that your health has not been well. How are you faring now?"

Rébecca 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 flattered, Rebecca responded, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am much better now."

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