ly tone carried only calm command and cold arrogance.§
eeing this, Aubrey finally lost control.
he pointed at me, her voice sharp with fury.
You shameless woman, how dare you talk to Young Master Crawford like that? Do you want the Hendricks family destroyed?“}

eigh stepped forward, her brows furrowed in confusion.

“Please forgive me, alright?“#

Even Aubrey, who had always looked down on me, suddenly stepped forward, gently clasping my hand as her tone softened with rare affection.
“My good daughter–in–law,” she said warmly, “this mess was entirely Soren’s doing. When we get home, I’ll make sure he hears it from

All these years, I’ve admired you from the shadows, you’ve been a devoted wife, a loving mother, and always so thoughtful to me. Truthfully, I’ve always held you dear in my heart.”
The other members of the Hendricks family quickly chimed in, their voices filled with flattery.
