Rhea’s POV
Before I could respond, Sophia spoke, faking genuine care and excitement. “Father, Mother, I think we should throw a celebration welcome party for Rhea. I mean, she’s one the true heiress before I came into the picture. We could officially welcome her. I mean she’s been away for three years.”
Kelvin suddenly brightens, like she just said something divine. “That’s so sweet of you, Sophia.”
Sophia turns to me with a smile that doesn’t touch her eyes. “Rhea, I already forgave you a long time ago. Truly. Everyone already forgave you.” She glances at Ethan. “Right, Ethan?”
Ethan nods once, cold and motionless. “Yes.”
Kelvin cuts in immediately, his tone sharp. “I think throwing a party for her is a bad idea. It’ll only fuel her attitude. You know how she can twist things.”
