Evelyn knew Hansel didn't want to keep Ingrid's baby. Moreover, Richard wasn't aware of the matter, and she was reluctant to tell him. She had a nagging feeling that he wouldn't support her decision to keep the baby. After all, Richard and Hansel were both cold-hearted, each more ruthless than the

"Paul, I apologize." Quincey said. "My mom must've been momentarily possessed or something. She looked uneasy the whole time after we got home. She only confessed once my dad and I noticed something was off. "So, I rushed over to return the bangle. Thankfully, I made it in time. Please help me pass

"Mom's a woman herself," Lionel said. "She knows more than anyone that the bride will be taken lightly if her family submits to the groom's family even before the wedding happens. "Besides, Leonard and Rena treated her well over the years. They bought her anything she wanted, including gold and sil

"You should go ahead and accept the gift," Susan said. "I prepared them for everyone. They're just little trinkets to wear for fun."Jenny clicked her tongue. A trinket? For fun?Those were truly words worthy of a wealthy lady. It was amazing how generous she was. However, Jenny still had a shred o
Susan remained silent for the rest of the meal. She only concentrated on eating the food in front of her. Jenny, kept in check by Harold, didn't cause any more scenes, either. As the meal was nearing its end, several waiters suddenly entered the private room. Each one was elegantly dressed and wor
"What Mrs. Jenny said earlier made a lot of sense," Paul said. I've taken your words to heart."Then, he turned to Mindy and Lionel. "Please rest assured, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton. I know how lucky I am to have met Miranda. I'll always put her first, cherish her, and take full responsibility as her boyfr
"Mrs. Jefferson, this toast is to welcome you to Lumberville!" Jenny exclaimed. "You should go around and explore while you're here. There's quite a bit of beautiful scenery in this city. "I would also like to thank you for your hospitality. You treated our entire family with such wonderful food an
