Rosella only withdrew her gaze once Camryn was with Tasha.Her good friend said of her, “Your daughter-in-law seems very precious to you. She’s only a couple of feet away. Are you that afraid she’ll fall or something?”Rosella laughed. “She’s precious, alright. To the Yorks, all daughters-in-law are treasures that deserve to be doted on and cherished by the whole family.“My boy Callum only got married when he turned thirty. It wasn’t easy, and I only have one daughter-in-law now, so it’s natural to pamper her and treat her like a precious person.” Rosella made no secret of her satisfaction and love for her daughter-in-law.Her friend laughed. “The men of your family are famous for pampering their wives a lot and the women are famous for doting on their daughters-in-law. I don’t have any daughters, but if I did, I would do anything to latch onto you guys and become your in-laws.“This is your daughter-in-law’s first public appearance at a gathering like this, but she’s not shy a

“Which part was slander? If you can’t drink alcohol while networking and talking business, the reason you manage to strike any deals has to be due to your beauty and your good figure. Callum might have already been cuckolded tons of times over by marrying you.”“Whoever said that you had to drink alcohol when you network and talk business?”Carrie hurriedly took the chance to rebut Sally.“Ms. Abrams is truly dirty-minded. Is it because you rely on your beauty and your body to strike deals?“Don’t assume that everyone would stoop as low as you would.”“Who are you?” Sally questioned Carrie.Carrie sneered, “Who cares who I am? Your mouth is just filthy.”She handed the glass of red wine she was holding to Camryn and said, “Mrs. York, here. Have another glass. Help Ms. Abrams wash her filthy mouth out.”Camryn took the glass and hurled it at Sally once more.She said coldly, “Everyone here has heard it. It’s Ms. Abrams who has insulted me, slandered me, and smeared my reputatio

If, however, words of what Sally said got out, Camryn would absolutely bring the hammer of the law down on her to demand justice and have Sally suffer the consequences of her actions.If anyone else wanted to get sued by her, they could say whatever they wanted. She would come after them with all she had.Sally looked at her mother, who gave her another glare.Nina said to her daughter, “Heard that? She’s being so generous that she’s willing to let the matter be for now. That’s out of the kindness of her heart. You can’t relax and not learn your lesson just because she’s being kind and is letting you go for now.“Your baseless rumors are not just harmful to others, but also to yourself.“You’ll drag us, your parents, down with you too. You’re my daughter. People will not just talk about you now that you’ve said such outrageous things—they’ll talk about how we have failed to educate you and raised a rumor-mongering, liar of a daughter too.“But it is indeed a failure of mine to ed

The damage you inflicted could easily backfire on you later on.Even if you did not suffer the backlash, you would have a record and your life would be blemished if you were convicted.The onlookers soon dispersed.Everyone resumed drinking, chatting happily as if nothing had ever happened. Knowing now that her daughter-in-law was not a pushover and would retaliate immediately after being insulted, Rosella felt much more at ease.Mrs. House invited the madams into her parlor.Once the York madams left, Carrie approached Camryn and politely asked, “Hello, Mrs. York, Ms. House. May I sit with you?”“Of course, Mrs. Longbottom.”Tasha had a positive impression of Mrs. Longbottom because she spoke up for Camryn earlier.It was also easier for young people to mix with other young people.Although Mrs. Longbottom was married, she was very young and had no topics in common with the other madams at the gathering.Camryn thanked Carrie politely. “I’m still on medication, so I can’t

Carrie said pitifully, “Didn’t I act very well? Mr. Longbottom told me to help Camryn, and I did.”Only the Lord knew how much she wanted to cheer Sally on.“Ms. Camryn said all that to test you.”Carrie said, “I think so too. I feel like she’s always been suspicious of me and was testing me. Luckily, she didn’t sense anything.”The bodyguard said coldly, “Let’s hope so.”Although this woman was a little more tempered now that she had undergone training, her personality was long cemented and simply could not measure up to Camryn. It was hard to tell if Camryn had sensed anything by testing her.After returning, he would tell the boss about what happened and learn his thoughts.Half an hour after Carrie left, the three York madams and Camryn went home too.On the way home, Rosella asked her daughter-in-law, “Is there anyone you’d like to get to know apart from Tasha?”Camryn replied, “None, for now. It’s not easy to integrate into their circles.“If they’re not willing to let
