“This is absolutely outrageous!” Mrs. Martin exclaimed, her face filled with disapproval.
“Can’t this girl even understand a single word? You’re doing it for her own good!”
Observing this, Sophia added, “Mrs. Martin, you don’t understand. My cousin is always
arrogant and domineering at home. There’s hardly any room for me and my mother.
Today, she tried to snatch this dress from me. In the past, I would have given it to her,
but your son gave me this dress. No matter what, I can’t let her have it. Who knew she
would become angry and try to hit me? My mother rushed over to protect me, but she
even threatened to hit my mother.”
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Mrs. Martin’s anger was completely ignited. “Is this really true? How can this girl be so
spoiled? Has she not received any education since she was young?”
“Don’t even mention it.” Nora waved her hand dismissively. “She grew up with two
uncles who are not decent people. She barely finished high school, so we can’t expect her to have much class.”

Mrs. Martin disagreed. “That’s not right. Even if she lacks class, she shouldn’t resort to
violence, especially against her elders. Has the law ceased to exist?”
As soon as she vaguely thought of her son expressing his liking for that girl, Mrs.
Martin felt disgusted.
Her son’s taste was truly unique. He could have chosen any fine lady, but he chose this
uncultured person.
“It’s alright, Sophia; don’t be afraid. If my eldest son really is with you, then I will talk to
my husband and make things clear. He is a traditional person and will definitely hold my
eldest son responsible for you.”
Sophia was overjoyed, “Really, Mrs. Martin?”
“Don’t you trust me?” Mrs. Martin felt a bit more affectionate toward Sophia, and her
tone softened. “I know you’re a kind and well–mannered child. I understand my
husband’s temperament and character better than anyone.”
Nora nudged Sophia’s shoulder. “Silly girl, why are you just standing there? Hurry up and

Thank Mrs. Martin!”

Sophia quickly wanted to express her gratitude, but Mrs. Martin stopped her. “Forget it;
it’s troublesome. You two should rest here first. If you still feel uncomfortable later, just
stay here. I’ll find an opportunity to talk to my husband. There are still many people
outside who need attention. I’ll go out first.”
Nora and Sophia quickly got up to see her off. “Alright, you go ahead and take care of
business.”
“It’s fine, just tell the maid if you need anything. Treat it like your own home.”
When Mrs. Martin hurriedly returned to the table, there was a buzz of discussion all
around.
The incident just now was quite a spectacle. Mr. Martin’s face turned pale; Patrick was
cautiously accompanying him, not daring to make a sound; and Mr. Sniper had already
disappeared without a trace.
Ms Martin asked, “Where is Nathaniel?”

“Grandma was eager to see her daughter–in–law, and her blood pressure rose when she
got excited. He rushed over to see Grandma. Patrick weakly replied, “Mom, is Ms.
Wilson okay?”
Mrs. Martin’s expression improved slightly. “It’s nothing serious, just a good girl who
has been slandered with baseless rumors. Which girl can bear that?”
“Baseless rumors?”
Patrick glanced at his mother and chose to keep quiet.
What he remembered was what his sister had just said: that this Ms. Wilson seemed
like a good girl on the surface but was actually a hypocrite inside.
If that’s the case, could what Nathaniel said just now be true?
But his mother said it was fabricated out of thin air, and he didn’t know who to believe.
It’s better to be wise and stay out of it.
Mr. Martin suddenly stood up and said, “I’ll go see my mom too. Let’s end the banquet,

shall we?”
Mrs. Martin thought for a moment and agreed. Since the eldest son had already made
up his mind, there was no point in continuing the banquet. They had originally planned
to have a dance party after dinner so that the youngsters could interact more

but now
“Patrick, help your mother see the guests off.”
“Oh, okay.”
Since the host had already issued the order to dismiss the guests, it was not
appropriate for them to stay any longer. They all got up and prepared to leave.
Sherry also stood up, but David said, “Sophia and your aunt haven’t come back yet.
Should we send someone to ask?”
Sherry couldn’t help but worry. Mrs. Martin invited Nora and Sophia to take a nap, and later only Mrs. Martin returned by herself. It was obvious that they had been asked to stay by Mrs. Martin. It was uncertain whether they would stay overnight tonight.

“I’ll go and ask,” she said.
David nodded. “Yes, it’s better if you ask. After all, I am an artist, and it’s a bit
embarrassing for me to ask someone in a humble manner.”
Sherry sighed and walked away.
Suddenly, a pair of large hands pulled her into a corridor from behind.

Before Sherry could scream, the large hand gently covered her mouth. “Sherry, it’s me.”
Sherry was startled and patted her chest to calm herself. “What are you doing hiding
here? You scared me.”
Mr. Sniper affectionately rubbed her nose and held her hand, leading her in another
direction.
“Where are you taking me?”
“I’m taking you to meet my grandmother.” Mr. Sniper finally tried to shield her from
passersby as she was pregnant. His pace slowed down. “My grandmother has watched
