LOGINMy mother-in-law, Emma Grant, and I return to the country in advance during Christmas Eve. We originally plan on giving our respective husbands a huge surprise by showing up at Grant Manor. But the moment we arrive at the front door, we find out that the entire manor is painted in pink. A rich lady quickly blocks our way. "This is a private Christmas Eve party, you know! Not anyone is allowed entry! Besides, I don't recall having invited you here! Get lost now!" Emma frowns at her. "What a joke! Why do I need your permission to come here?" The lady shoots Emma a dark smirk in return. "Do you have any idea who the owner of this manor is? It belongs to my husband, Edward Grant! "In fact, Edward's the one who specifically threw this party just for me! Since you're dressed like a slut at this age, that just means you're planning to use this opportunity to seduce my darling husband!" My mind begins buzzing loudly. Isn't Edward Grant my father-in-law, who married into the Grant family as a live-in son-in-law? How could he be this lady's husband instead? Then, the lady catches sight of my phone's lock screen, which is my wedding portrait with my husband, Caleb Grant. She roars, "Oh, I see! You two are a pair of shameless minxes! It seems you've found out that my adoptive son, Caleb, is about to get engaged with my daughter tonight! That's why you're here to cause chaos, right?" Emma and I swap glances with each other in confusion. It turns out that both Edward and Caleb have been cheating on us this whole time. But then again, these two men are living off the Grant family! What makes them think they have the right to have side chicks on their own?

She's becoming more and more disrespectful—"Before he could finish, Emma used every ounce of strength she had to turn her gaze away from him in disgust."Edward, I want a divorce. Starting today, take your son and get out of the Grant family."Edward went completely still.Gwen stepped in, cutting off whatever excuse was about to come out of his mouth."Mr. Grant? No. Mr. Fowler. Did you honestly believe that marrying into the Grant family and taking their name made it yours?"She held up a flash drive and smiled."The money your son paid wasn't enough. I've recovered every video those influencers were paid to delete. If you still have any dignity left, sign the papers immediately.""Gwen! You're just a nobody on the payroll!" Caleb shouted furiously. "Who gave you the right to speak?"Emma seized the glass of water beside her bed and threw it at
Edward and Caleb froze when they saw Irene and Anne. All the color drained from their faces."What? The fountain?" they blurted out.Only then did they realize that the people trapped in the fountain at Grant Manor the previous night had been Emma and me."No… That's not what happened…" Edward waved his hands frantically, desperate to distance himself from the situation."Weren't you overseas? I've never seen these women before. They're insane!"Caleb rushed to my side at once."Maddie, my darling, please listen to me. It's all a misunderstanding! I have absolutely nothing to do with them!"The moment the word "darling" left his mouth, everyone froze.Anne looked like she had been hit by a thunderbolt. Her sobs died in her throat. She pointed at me, then at Caleb, as if she'd just been told the sky was green."Caleb… What do you mean by that?"The influencers immediately swung their cameras toward her."Wait—so she's the real wife, and you're the other woman?""Holy cra
In the video, Irene stood in front of a livestream camera with a smug expression."I'm the lady of Grant Manor," she declared. "If I want it pink, it's pink. Since when do strangers get a say in what I do with my own home?"The camera then turned to Anne, who was standing beside her.Anne hung on Irene's arm with a sneer. "Grant Manor? That's nothing. Even if it were the entire Grant family legacy, my mother could tear it down and paint it pink whenever she felt like it. With Mr. Grant and Caleb spoiling us, who would dare say a word about it?"I had specifically instructed Gwen to buy this video from one of the influencers. The camera angle had been deliberately selected to exclude me and Emma from the frame.After viewing it, Edward and Caleb were obviously panicked."This is ridiculous!"Edward's forehead was slick with sweat. He waved his hands in panic. "Grant Manor was your mother's wedding gift! They're all lies! That woman has no claim to Grant Manor. We've never see
Edward wiped the sweat off his forehead. "We were just asking. How would we know what happened?"Caleb quickly grabbed my hand as well."Exactly. The moment we found out Mom was hospitalized, we rushed right over. If we'd known beforehand, why would we be this worried?"I just hummed and pulled my hand free.Then I turned to Edward. "Dad, didn't you tell us you were in a meeting with Caleb? Then why did Caleb tell me he was out diving?"Edward, however, was surprisingly calm this time. He let out an awkward chuckle. "It was a remote meeting. Madison, you don't do much business. You wouldn't understand."Of course.After lying to Emma and me for so many years, there was no excuse they couldn't come up with.Since I wasn't responding, Caleb shook my arm. "Madison, you said something at the manor made Mom collapse. What happened?"I bit my lip hard, suppressing my anger, then pulled out my tablet and opened the videos those influencers had uploaded.Both of them went rig
