Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Gwendolyn responded by patting him on the back to calm him down.

“Since you love her, go all out to pursue her. You have my support, as I'm not the kind who's dogmatic. Your father only succumbed to the discord sowed by your aunt, so give me some time for me to talk to him about it. At the end of the day, the three of us are still one family. Even though your aunt is a daughter of the Chivers family, she has married into another family and is technically an outsider.”

Hugging his mother tighter, Edmund replied in a hoarse voice, “I knew you would understand. Thank you for your understanding. During such times, you don't know how much your support means to me.”

Gwendolyn patted him on the back of his head and answered with a smile, “Go now. Stay by her side in her time of need. Hopefully, I can see the day when both of you come out of this victoriously.”

“All right.”

Inside the hotel, Bailey found out through the internet that Yoel had leaked the paternity report.

Upon contemplating the matter, she quickly guessed what he was up to.

All these people are thoroughly relentless in their attempt to bury me. At this rate, how am I going to have a good relationship with Edmund when the Luther and Chivers families hate my guts? A marriage can only be built on respect. Only by treating the family and friends of one's partner as one's own can a happy marriage be maintained. Now that his family and friends resent me, what future is there to even speak of?

Ding!

The sudden ring from the doorbell snapped her out of her thoughts.

Walking to the foyer to open the room door, she raised her brows instinctively when she was greeted by the sight of a professionally dressed man and woman.

“Are you Ms. Jefferson?”

Giving them a slight nod, Bailey flatly replied, “I am, and you are?”

“We're from the Hallsbay magistrate's court. Two days ago, we have received a case involving you plagiarizing Snowflake's design. After our initial investigations, we have concluded that your design is indeed a case of plagiarism. Therefore, the authorized party of the original designer has filed a lawsuit against you. Ms. Jefferson, we're here to issue you this summons on behalf of the court.”

Bailey let out a gentle sigh before reaching out to accept the summons. “Has the court date been set? I would like to end the case as soon as possible, for I can't even go home now due to the controversy surrounding the matter.”

The staff's lips could not help but twitch.

Does this lady not understand Chanaean? I already told her that this is a clear case of plagiarism in the eyes of the law. Why is she still so sure of her innocence? Even though the rumors claimed that she has ingratiated herself with the Chivers family, I have not seen any legal representation from them to support her.
