When Grace Gresia saw Adam Jones proactively approach her for her opinion and was quite satisfied that this distant nephew respected her as an aunt by marriage, she indeed assumed the posture of an elder, with a hint of reproach in her tone, she said:
"Adam, I as an aunt by marriage don't necessarily have to intervene in how other families entertain their guests, but she is after all my niece-in-law. As an aunt, I cannot stand by without pointing it out."
The few old madams present couldn't help but slight chuckle upon seeing her act as if she was a family elder, despite the fact that she was just a 'by marriage' relation.
But they still held their tongues out of respect for the Old Lady Jones, even though they did not look upon the behavior favorably.
Old Lady Jones's face turned sour immediately; she had thought that having this sole nephew from her maternal family come to the Jones Family was something to rejoice over in her heart.
