During lunchtime, Reba invited both Wesley and Sydney to join them.


    Rosalie thought it would just be a family lunch, but she didn’t expect Cynthia to show up as well.


    She had a faint feeling of what Reba meant by not letting her be mistreated for nothing.


    She worried that Reba might reprimand Cynthia here, which would worsen Reba’s


    rtionship with Theo if he found out.


    She tried to persuade Reba not to do so, but thetter reassured her and told her not to worry,


    because she wouldn’t lose her temper at the dining table.


    Rosalie couldn’t disobey Reba. Either way, Cynthia had already been called, and it was toote


    to do anything about it.


    The five of them sat at the table, the atmosphere unusually quiet. Wesley kept staring at Sydney,


    but Sydney just ignored him and ate her food as if no one else were around.


    Rosalie looked at Reba with confusion.


    Reba smiled at Cynthia. “Ms. Zeller. This is our first formal meeting, isn’t it?”


    Although Reba was smiling, her smile carried powerful dignity. Cynthia felt uneasy, and tried her


    best to portray the image of an elegantdy.


    “Yes, ma’am. I’m very pleased to meet you today. Thank you for inviting me,” Cynthia said.


    When she received the call, she was somewhat incredulous and thought someone was pulling her


    leg. But Reba had personally This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    called her, inviting her to lunch and even sending someone to pick her up, saying she wanted to


    meet her.


    This was Theodore’s grandmother. Cynthia knew she would have to pass this test once she married


    Theodore. So she came here, hoping to win Reba’s favor.


    Reba had some prejudices against Cynthia, since they hadn’t met before. Cynthia believed that


    as long as she tried hard to please Reba, the olddy would change her opinion of her. Even a


    poor girl like Rosalie could please Reba, so she couldn’t afford to lose. Should her attempts to


    please fail, she had a backup n.


    “You don’t need to be so polite with me. After all, you and Theo are so close. I should have invited


    you earlier. Otherwise, he would continue to hide you from me, and that wouldn’t be good.”


    Reba spoke calmly, but the atmosphere was odd.


    “Mom,” Sydney said, “I don’t think Theo’s been hiding Ms. Zeller at all. He often takes her out for


    meals, brings her to thepany, and even goes on dates with her. He’ll probably have to take her


    to public events and give her the title of Mrs. Spencer afterward, right?”


    Wesley interrupted, “Theo hasn’t divorced yet. How can someone else be called Mrs. Spencer?”


    “It’s going to happen soon, right? After all, Ms. Zeller hase to the house, just like what you did


    before in the past,” Sydney said nonchntly, never lifting her head to look at her husband.


    Wesley had intended to engage her in conversation. Seeing his wife’s indifference, he couldn’t


    continue.


    When the couple each received a call from Reba, she informed them that she had also invited


    Cynthia. At that moment, the couple didn’t understand. But since Reba had already decided,


    they


    naturally couldn’t say anything.


    Rosalie stayed silent, unsure of Reba’s intentions. It was probably best for her not to say


    anything for now.


    Cynthia looked carefully at everyone, then at Rosalie sitting across from her. She had to outshine


    Rosalie to make a good impression.
