"Olina didn't indeed fancy me even a bit. In her mind, the perfect daughter-in-law was always Ruby Scott. When Lucy unearthed some of Ruby's past, I bet my former mother-in-law was cursing Lucy and her

The perfect daughter-in-law in Olina's eyes was ruined by the actions of the Coleman couple.

"The Martinez family and the Anderson family have always been at odds. Lucy is the wife of the Anderson family's oldest son. From the fact of being her close friend, Mrs. Martinez would never like me." Hudson advised, "Since you're aware of this, you should keep your distance from Owen."
