Adeline exuded an aura of authority as she stood across from me. "What kind of woman dares to come to the Pierce family's residence and act so arrogantly? Your wife? Pfft."

Adeline raised her voice. "Do you think I'm dead? How could I ever allow a divorced woman whose scandals are well-known by the entire town to be part of this family?"

She glared at me, and her words immediately ignited my anger.

"You're not dead, but you can't claim to be the head of the Pierce family."

I stood tall, full of confidence. "I married Atlas lawfully, which makes me Atlas's legitimate wife. Who do you think you are to meddle in our affairs?"

I finished my retort and strode to the main sofa in the hall, taking the dominant seat.
