S21 8. Mother In-Law

“Hello, my daughter-in-law.”

Kara’s tongue tasted bitter. When Melanie arrived in front of her, she almost stepped back. Her mother-in-law’s gaze was like a murderer.

“We met by accident.”

Melanie suddenly covered her mouth with one hand. “So, the incident was true? I think the media is exaggerating to bring Frank down. So, my son married you because he was forced to? For the sake of your children?”

Kara took a deep breath. Her face looked firm.

“The incident was true. We met because we were set up. But one thing you should know, we didn’t get married because we were forced
