Chapter 381

"Aunt Mae, watch what you're saying. How is she a mess of a woman?" Caroline's face darkened, clearly annoyed by Mae's hostility. She stepped forward smoothly, pulling Eliza behind her. "If Casper brought her home and our family accepts her, that's all that matters. We don't need your approval." Mae was momentarily speechless, her eyes widened in disbelief that Caroline would stand up for a stranger like that.

Her face flushed with anger. "Caroline, have you lost your mind? She's a gold-digger, after Casper's money. Don't let her fool you."
