Suzanne smiled stiffly. “He’s not,” she said. She was defending

Nathan.

“Then who is that woman?”

Suzanne hesitated. Vera was sick. She wouldn’t do well with bad

news.

Using Nathan’s words, she said, “She’s just a child who doesn’t know what she’s talking about.”

Nathan was taken aback. He hadn’t expected her to cto his defense even though she had been framed and hurt badly.

She hadn’t done what Sally had done-slandered and hurt the other

woman.

Under Suzanne’s reassurance, Vera did not continue to push the issue.

After dinner, the three of them retreated to the pergola in the garden

for leisure.

It was a misty night. The quiet garden was filled with the sounds of crickets chirping and frogs croaking

The relaxing fragrance of the tea added to the peace.

Vera was in a good mood, as she was being accompanied by her grandson and her granddaughter-in- law.

Just then, one of the servants cover and said, “Madam, there’s a lady by the nof Ms. Hoffis asking to see you and General Morrison.”

“Who is Ms. Hoffis?” Vera asked.

“She said she grew up with General Morrison and is the love of his life. You used to regard her as your future granddaughter-in-law.”

Hearing this, Nathan’s expression darkened. “I’ll deal with her, Grandma.”

Vera’s expression was as dark as his. “Stay here,” she snapped coldly. “Let her cand say her piece.”

Nathan clenched his fists and sat down.

Suzanne looked calm, but on the inside, she was very distressed. She wanted to avoid this. “Grandma, I think Sally has a lot to say to you. I’ll head back to my room…”

“You’re not allowed to leave either,” Vera interrupted sternly. “Sit down.

Unable to do anything else, Suzanne did as she was told.

Just then, the servant brought Sally to the pergola.

Sally was wearing a white dress, which made her’look otherworldly She had several expensive jewelry on as well.

“Good evening, Grandma, Nate,” she greeted politely.

She ignored Suzanne.

Nathan frowned as he looked at her. Then, he slumped back in his chair. His expression was angry and resigned.

“Have a seat, Ms. Hoffis,” Vera said politely.

Sally smiled and sat down beside Nathan.

Vera stared at Sally while frowning. “Ms. Hoffis, why did you say that to my grandson just now? It was very inappropriate. Did you not know

that his wife was also present?”

Suzanne lowered her head. She felt mortified.

Sally glanced at Suzanne and smirked while dismissing her.

“Grandma,” she said cajolingly. “Have you forgotten who I am? I’m Sally. I was your neighbor for 14 years, and I often cover to your house to play with Nate. We grew up together. Your entire family loved me. You even toldthat I could be your granddaughter-in-law when I grew up.”

Vera stared at her in shock, then looked at Suzanne. “You’re lying,” she said uneasily.

Sally blinked owlishly. “I’m the granddaughter-in-law that you loved, Grandma. Suzanne just looks like me when I was young. I was plumper and had a rounder face, remember? I just lost a lot of weight when I grew up. Have you really forgotten me?”
