The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

No one could tell if Christopher was still angry or sad about the matter. He turned around and quietly leaned on his crutches as he returned to his room.

Lady Wilson was furious. However, she had no choice but to accept the fact that Hannah was back.

After all, she had to rely on Wendy to support her living. It wouldn't be wise to offend Wendy at such a time.

Wendy was glad to see that the matter was resolved satisfactorily. She breathed a sigh of relief and helped her mother up. She urged, "Mom, get up. Let's go home."

Hannah nodded, still crying. She looked like she had finally earned a new lease on life.

She was left with no way out. If she could, she would've never come back to see Lady Wilson's face.

Her biggest wish was to have shelter and not worry about her three meals a day. For the time being, going back to the Thompson First villa in Aurous Hill was the best choice for her.

She was fortunate to meet her daughter again. Wendy was never a motivated person, and had no work experience. Now, however, Hannah returned to see her daughter flourish with a career of her own. Hannah was glad to be back this time. She no longer had to worry about her life.

She was completely relieved, and was about to go into the villa when she suddenly thought of something. She turned back and walked to Elaine's car, and gave Elaine her sincerest thanks.

"Elaine, thanks for standing up for me earlier. I've made many mistakes as your sister-in-law before. Please don't mind me and forgive me. I want to apologize to you..."

As she spoke, she sank into a deep bow.

Elaine was startled to see Hannah's humble attitude, a s it caught her a little off guard. She said awkwardly," Look at you. You're always so arrogant to me, but now, you suddenly speak to me in such a nice voice. You're making me feel

awkward..."

Hannah sighed and murmured regretfully, "I was so stupid before. I've always wanted to compete with you to win Lady Wilson's favor. Now that I think about it, what's there to fight for from a heartless person like her? I've been obedient to her for my whole life. In the end, I'm no better than a dog in her eyes, aren't I?"

Elaine was deeply moved by Hannah's lament and agreed with her. "I've told you so! Hannah, you're right! That old witch is a heartless b*tch! She won't appreciate your good, no matter what you do Instead, she'll continue to complain about your weakness!"

Hannah nodded and said grimly, "I've learned my lesson well. If she died, I won't shed a single tear at all!"

Elaine agreed. "I won't mourn her death at all. Instead, I'd buy some firecrackers and set them off in celebration!"

Jacob heard Elaine's mocking words and coughed a little. He reminded her, "Elaine, you should stop... Did you forget that she's my mom...?"

Elaine glared angrily at him. "If you like your mother so much, you should move back to her villa!"

Jacob replied gloomily, "Why should I move back?"

Elaine said, "You can move back to serve your mom! Don't you want to be a dutiful son?"

Jacob knowingly shut up as he finally understood something. Lady Wilson would easily trigger Elaine like a powder keg that would explode once its fuse burned out.
