Chapter 348 No Matter What, I’ll Hold It Up for You

But there was nothing she could do–Elizabeth had to swallow her anger and endure it.

This is Mr. Ellison’s biological mother. Even he had to show her respect and couldn’t talk back, let alone her.

Harper grew even more frustrated. “What kind of nonsense is this? The sister–in–law and brother–in–law walking ahead while the wife follows behind? If anyone else saw this, who knows what kind of rumors would spread? No wonder Caroline feels wronged! Caroline has a kind heart. She’s gentle, she never likes to complain, and she’d rather suffer in silence than offend anyone. But that doesn’t mean you, Elizabeth, can take advantage of her! As long as I, Harper, am here, she will always be David’s wife. Any other woman should give up now–don’t even think about it! Even if die one day, the only daughter–in–law allowed to pay respects at my grave will be Caroline. David, do you hear me?”

Harper stood her ground, backing Caroline up as she laid down the law.

Though she was calling out David’s name, it was obvious she was speaking for Elizabeth’s benefit.

David responded, “I hear you.”

Harper continued her scolding. “Some women love to throw themselves at men, climbing the social ladder with ulterior motives. David, you’d better be careful not to let them take advantage of you. The Ellison family’s door isn’t one that just anyone can walk through. From the beginning until now, the only daughter–in–law I recognize is Caroline. If I ever catch you walking side by side with a woman who isn’t Caroline again, you’ll be kneeling in the family chapel, begging for mercy!”

Even David wasn’t spared from Harper’s wrath. Her daughter–in–law was hers to protect, hers to stand for, hers to cherish!

Even after venting, Harper still wasn’t satisfied. She shot a sharp glare at Elizabeth.
