Chapter 220:

“You’re laughing at me!” Bryce’s realization dawned, and he slammed his fist onto the table in fury. Tess, equally incensed, snapped, “Elyse Lloyd, you’ve crossed the line! Bryce is your brother-in-law. How could you make fun of him like that?”

Bryce’s mood lifted with her apology. He thought to himself that Elyse, coming from a modest background, ought to show him respect. Tess, too, seemed relieved, as if Jayden had also made amends with her following Elyse’s apology.
