Sandra sighed. “Sheila, you spent some time in Riverside, didn't you? Do you know what's going on between Timothy and Jessy?"

Sheila hesitated. "It's complicated with the Lawson family. You saw it yourself— Sallie looks down on her because she can't speak, and the rest of the Lawsons..."

They finally got married, and instead of supporting the young couple, everyone's interfering. Don't they realize a good wife brings fortune for generations? Haven't they heard that choosing the right partner matters more than anything?"
