Chapter 951

Seeing Maxwell return, Fiona walked over with a smile. "Maxwell, you won at life! Your mother has returned, and you have your wife and children with you. I'm envious. I wish Simon could have the same happy family one day!"Maxwell forced a smile. "You flatter me, Mrs. Moore. Simon's just taking his time finding the perfect daughter-in-law for you."Camila approached Jennifer and took her hand. "I have the best daughter-in-law. I can enjoy my life in peace with her around. Jennifer, go greet Mrs. Moore properly!"Jennifer caught on to Camila's intentions. What a sly woman! Camila was announcing her return by inviting the high-society ladies over. It would make it much harder for anyone to send her away in the future.The ladies would visit her for the holidays with everyone aware of her return. And if Camila ever decided to spread gossip, it would only embarrass Maxwell, Jennifer, and their family. Jennifer's gaze sharpened. Camila certainly knew how to play her hand! But Jennifer

But this was a foolish and hypothetical question. So, Jennifer stopped herself from going any further.Yet Maxwell seemed to know her unspoken worry. "I would choose you."Jennifer's heart skipped a beat and she smiled. She took out the sweets she had bought for Cassidy. "By the way, how come Cass is so quiet today? She'll usually be playing in the yard when I return from work."Maxwell chuckled. "She's probably sulking from the talk you gave her yesterday. She's likely up in her room trying to prove herself."Jennifer pursed her lips. "I'd be thrilled if that's true!"With that, they took the sweets up to Cassidy's room."Where is she?" Maxwell glanced around the room in confusion.Jennifer noticed the bathroom door was closed. She knocked. "Cass, are you in there?"They heard the girl's cries inside. "Mommy, my tummy hurts. I've got a stomachache!"Jennifer frowned. "What happened? Why do you have a stomachache?"Maxwell tugged on her sleeve and whispered, "Look under there

With that, Maxwell hurriedly left for the hospital with Jennifer, taking Cassidy with them.As soon as they were gone, Camila started to cry. She sobbed to the other ladies, "I can't stay here any longer. Maxwell is completely smitten with his wife. She doesn't like me, and now neither does he. Have you ever seen a son speak to his mother like that?""Indeed, it's disgraceful!" one of the ladies comforted her, "We all noticed Jennifer's sour expression when she walked in. You're her mother-in-law! Not only is she ungrateful, but she dares to act haughty! Such disrespect!"Fiona joined in. "Camila, you returned far too late. Maxwell and Jennifer are a done deal now. Jennifer wouldn't have married Maxwell if you had returned a few years earlier! How dare a lowly woman like her disrespect her mother-in-law!"Camila continued, "You don't know the half of it! My daughter-in-law favors her son over her daughter. She only gives treats and toys to her son. My poor granddaughter is always n

Cassidy thought Jennifer would never be this harsh with Caleb or the unborn baby if they were in her place. The thought left Cassidy in despair, and tears started streaming down her cheeks.Jennifer felt a wave of helplessness and exhaustion wash over her. She signed and handed her daughter to Maxwell before going to the hallway to clear her head.Cassidy asked sadly, "Daddy, does Mommy not want me anymore? Do you… Do you both not like me?"Maxwell was taken aback and quickly lectured her. "Silly girl, how could you think that? Would Mommy go out of her way to buy your favorite treats if she didn't love you? We're only upset because you ate so much ice cream and got sick. We feel bad for you. You're our precious princess. We will never stop loving you."Cassidy asked weakly, "But will I still be the favorite if you have another daughter?"Maxwell only took it as a child's silly question and chuckled. "How do you come up with so many strange questions every day?"However, Cassidy

Hearing Martha's side of the story, Jennifer drew a sharp breath and looked upstairs in disbelief and fury.Martha sobbed. "Mrs. Lance, I... I can't continue this. Even as a maid, I am still a human. I've never met someone so unreasonable!"Maxwell couldn't take it anymore either. He said to Martha, "Martha, calm down. I'll go bring my mother down."He then instructed a maid to call Camila down.Before long, Camila came down, looking at them with displeasure. "I'm not as young as you. It's late. How dare you wake me up?"Jennifer couldn't hold back her anger. "I've had enough of you!"Camila immediately retorted, "Don't think you can speak to me like that just because Maxwell takes your side! Don't forget, it's thanks to me that your brother was released from prison. Are you trying to get rid of me now that he's out?"Maxwell shouted, "Enough! Mom, don't change the subject. Just answer me, did you lock Martha in the storage room?"Camila pursed her lips and raised her chin. "Ye

Maxwell asked coldly, "Who was the one who helped Madam Camila lock Martha up?"Two maids stepped forward in fear, admitting they had acted on Camila's instructions.Maxwell continued, "You are both fired. As of tomorrow, I don't want to see you here again! And for everyone else… Listen carefully, you are only to follow the instructions from me and Jennifer from now on."Camila paled. What a "wonderful" child she raised. Wasn't he just humiliating her in front of the entire household by warning everyone not to listen to her?Jennifer turned to Martha. "I'm sorry, Martha. This won't happen again. I'll raise your salary to triple its current amount if you stay.""Oh, no, it's not about the money, Mrs. Lance," Martha replied gratefully. "You and Mr. Lance already pay me well. I… I won't leave. You don't need to increase my salary. You're both fair, and I wouldn't want to cause you any trouble."Camila silently cursed Jennifer, thinking she was pathetic for being so nice to a mere maid. Di

Jennifer took a day off for Cassidy to rest at home.Maxwell told Camila, "From now on, Martha will take care of Cassidy. You don't need to worry about her. Also, treats like ice cream will only be given to her if approved by Jennifer or me."Camila argued, "I'm her grandmother. Do you think I would harm her? Are you saying you're going to trust a maid over me?"Jennifer replied coldly, "So what if you're her grandmother? You even tried to ruin your son's marriage. Who knows what you'll do to your granddaughter?"Maxwell felt uncomfortable, and Camila was left speechless. She gripped her spoon tightly, swallowing her anger at Jennifer's reproach.She would endure it for now, but swore she would make sure Jennifer paid for it.Meanwhile, Cassidy sulked, realizing she wouldn't get to eat any of her favorite treats anymore. Her grandmother told her that Jennifer was saving the ice cream for Caleb and the unborn baby. Would they eventually stop letting her eat anything?Feeling even

Cassidy finally beamed. "Can we go to the amusement park?"Jennifer wanted to remind her that she hadn't touched any of her homework all week and only thought about playing. But seeing her daughter's recent unhappiness, she held back and decided to let it go.The next morning, Maxwell took Cassidy out. Before leaving, he had Cassidy give Jennifer a quick kiss.Cassidy whispered, "Mommy, I'm going with Daddy now. Rest well!"With that, Maxwell left for the office with Cassidy.Jennifer planned to catch up on a week's worth of sleep. But not long after, she heard the sound of cars arriving in the courtyard. She quickly got out of bed and ran to the window. She saw several luxury cars pulling into the yard. One by one, rich socialites stepped out of the cars, cheerfully greeting Camila.Jennifer felt a headache coming on. Camila just couldn't stop causing trouble. Jennifer closed the window and pulled the covers over her head but couldn't fall back asleep.Just then, she grabbed her phon

Jennifer immediately caught on. Camila had gathered a group of allies to put her in her place. But Jennifer had to maintain the image of a dutiful daughter-in-law in front of these gossipy women. She didn't care what others might say about her behind her back, but she did care about Maxwell's reputation.Jennifer feigned humility. "You're absolutely right, madam. I'd love to learn from you. Perhaps we can get together again sometime with your daughters-in-law so I can get some tips."Vicky was taken aback. Jennifer's calm demeanor left her at a loss for how to continue.Camila sighed helplessly. "Oh, my daughter-in-law's hands are made for performing surgery, and my son cherishes her dearly! How could I ask her to cook? Jennifer, I'll send someone to call you down to join us once lunch is ready. I just hope you can join us for lunch later."Camila sounded understanding, but each word pushed Jennifer further into an uncomfortable spotlight.Fiona couldn't help but add, "Camila, t

Jennifer was at a loss when Martha hurried over. She whispered, "Don't worry, Mrs. Lance. Mr. Lance will be home shortly.""Maxwell?" Jennifer was surprised. "Didn't he take Cass to the office?"Martha smiled. "I overheard those women giving you a hard time, so I quickly called Mr. Lance. He said he'd be back soon and told you not to worry."Jennifer's heart warmed and she instantly calmed down. While cooking wasn't her forte, she could handle washing vegetables and preparing ingredients, so she began to rinse the vegetables, waiting for Maxwell to return.Meanwhile, the women outside were still intent on making things difficult for Jennifer.Fiona sneered. "Who knows if she's actually cooking in the kitchen or if she's letting the maids do it?"Vicky chimed in, "Let's find out, shall we? Camila is too soft to teach her daughter-in-law her place, but we're not so easy to fool. I won't go easy on her if she tries to trick me!"Camila, seeing her friends rallying to her side, felt
