"What did you just say?" In an instant, Clarissa sat up in bed and glared at Norman. "Who agreed to let the two of you marry? Did you even bother to ask for my opinion?"

Norman had already prepared himself for Clarissa's reaction before he had come home.

He remained patient and calmly responded, "Well, I'm discussing it with you right now, aren't I?

"Jenna will be a month old in just a few days, and I thought it'd be a great time to break the good news. We'll celebrate Jenna's recovery from her illness and welcome Nicole into our family!"

"There's no way in hell I'll allow it!" Clarissa snapped as she listened to Norman's blissful reverie.

Her face twisted in anger as she raised her voice and declared, "I won't allow you to marry Nicole! That thing doesn't need a celebration party either!"

Norman's ears were ringing from her outburst.

He was momentarily stunned before he gathered himself and asked calmly, "Why? Is it because you dislike Nicole? Or because Jenna's a girl?"

Even though she married Nicholas and moved far away, she hadn't abandoned the traditions that had been ingrained in her family over the years.Feeling defeated, Nicole could only reluctantly nod."Alright then, but something else is bothering me," she said softly, confiding in Norman."You know that your mother isn't fond of me, and she's not thrilled that we had a daughter. If she returns, I'm afraid…" Nicole hesitated, recalling Clarissa's pickiness and sense of entitlement from their few months of living together.Norman grinned mysteriously and took her hand when he heard her concerns. "Don't worry. I've got a plan."The latter frowned in confusion and asked, "What plan? You're not going to kick your mother out, are you?""Of course not!" He laughed.

    Nicole stopped in her tracks as a car slowly approached the villa's gates. Thinking that it was Norman, she turned around. But when the electric gates opened, it wasn't Norman. Instead, a sleek, limited-edition black Bentley drove in.Nicole looked puzzled when she saw the unfamiliar car. She wondered if Yasmin had mistakenly opened the gates and let in a stranger. While she was still lost in thought, the black Bentley smoothly parked in the center of the courtyard.A driver in a suit and white gloves stepped out with polished manners. He approached the rear door and opened it respectfully. The next moment, Nicole watched as a woman got out of the car.The woman wore a beautiful silk gown with an exquisite pattern and texture.

    Nicole had never been the assertive type, and she had never competed with Clarissa. However, the latter just couldn't warm up to her. Norman, who got along well with Nicole, couldn't fathom why Clarissa had an issue with her.When Clarissa started belittling Nicole and Jenna, Norman couldn't take it anymore. His face instantly darkened, and he continued to support Nicole as usual."I was the one who brought Nicole here. So, take it out on me if you're upset! Don't vent your anger on others!" Norman warned.Clarissa narrowed her eyes and put her hands on her hips. "I don't care if you're the one who let them move in. This property is mine, and I can kick them out anytime!"Clarissa didn't show any signs of backing down, and her voice grew even louder.

Nicole quietly prepared the baby formula, fed Jenna, and put her back in the crib.When Norman finally woke up, it was almost 7:00 pm."Nicole, why didn't you wake me up?" Norman asked."I let you sleep in a bit because you stayed up late," Nicole said with a smile as she headed to the bathroom to freshen up.Norman followed her and wrapped his arms around her. "I've got good news. I finished the script last night. I've got a meeting with Eleanor later, and then I'll start house hunting."Nicole had looked weary since Clarissa had returned.

    Otto didn't back down and insisted on his right to see his grandchildren. However, Yardley paid him no mind. He shook his head and said, "Celia needs rest. Please come back another day."The next second, he instructed the housekeepers to close the door and left Otto standing outside.

    "How could you hit me because of her? I'm the mother of your child!" Sophie shrieked.She had never suffered such humiliation. She had been showered with love from a young age and wasn't accustomed to such harsh treatment. So, she became agitated and emotional."Isn't it all because of you that things turned out this way? Would such a thing have happened to our company? Would Richard suddenly want to break all ties with us? It's all because of your reckless behavior!" Chester vented years of suppressed grievances and dissatisfaction as if it would make him feel better.Celia watched as Chester and Sophie argued fiercely.

This isn't the time or the place for arguments!"Sophie went at Chester and started hitting him. Celia tried to break up their fight, but Sophie pushed her. Celia took a few steps back at that.
