"Alvin, do you even know who she is? She's not only the daughter of my rival. She's the ex-wife of Gilbert Watson, the Watson Group chairman. The internet is abuzz, saying she's already borne Gilbert a pair of twins and has had a daughter by another man. You mean to marry a woman like that? Our Nelson family is esteemed, how can you bring home a secondhand woman? Have you lost your mind?" Stephanie cried, her voice full of fury and outrage.
She recalled how, years ago, Lara Smith had tormented her so cruelly that she'd fallen gravely ill, the woman had clung to her husband George Nelson for three years, and he had even struck Stephanie for her. If he hadn't died early of lung cancer, Stephanie feared she might have been cast out of the family altogether.
That hatred had never left her.
And now, her son was about to be ruined by the daughter of that wicked woman.
She would never consent to such a match.
