"Yes, that's why you can't understand our grievances. What can we do? My daughter's been hopelessly devoted to Gilbert all these years, too simple-minded to play the games others do, so she just lets them bully her," Emily Oliver said, her tone full of wounded pride.
Hearing this, Stephanie Wesley's disdain for Claire deepened.
She had seen with her own eyes how that woman stirred up trouble in the Watson household. Claire had already borne a pair of children for Gilbert, yet she'd gone on to have another daughter with a different man and now she was trying to seduce her own son! No wonder Alvin Nelson refused to marry. The thought alone made Stephanie seethe.
And now, her foolish son had gone so far as to merge Nelson Group's fragrance line with Zanna Perfume Shop for that woman's sake! It was nothing short of subsidizing her.
How could she have raised such a soft-headed son? No. She wouldn't allow this to continue.
