Caroline took her phone and dialed Valery's number. When it was connected, she put it on speaker and said, "Hello, Valery, it's been five years since you have saw your granddaughter. Why are you not visiting Sage?"Mrs Moore was still upset at the Taylor family for causing their business bankruptcy. They became a laughingstock. She sneered, "Caroline, I don't have anything to do with your granddaughter. Her late mother, Valencia, lied to us.She promised my beloved daughter, Valeria, that she would marry her husband when she was gone. However, on her deathbed, she told her husband not to marry Valeria.For that, I will never forgive her. I don't want to see the daughter of a liar.

I am shaken by Sage's hatred.Loving you is so easy, and I love your family because I love you deeply. My handsome husband, there is no reason for me to pretend because I already have you. So, my heart ached when Sage said I was pretending to like her.When Sage told me that she hated me because I replaced her mother in your heart, I was reminded of my brother, and it hurt. What would happen if one day Sage asked you to choose between me and h
In the parking lot, August and Paul were laughing and chatting after church. August smiled at his friend and said, "Congratulations on getting a brand-new son-in-law, my dearest friend.

The only reason I stayed in this sham of a ma
