The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

The video that played was evidence of all the times Chloe had bullied me in the past. Each incident she had committed was far worse than what she had just claimed.

As Chloe watched, her face suddenly turned pale. "Did I permit you to play that? I command you to turn off the video right now!"

I chuckled and replied, "Why should I listen to you?"

Chloe immediately shot back, "I'm your mother-in-law!"

I reminded her, "But I've divorced your son, so let's be precise here. You're my ex-mother-in-law."

As everyone watched the unfolding drama, their expressions toward Chloe shifted to disdain.

Chloe's expression darkened, but she stubbornly retorted, "What are you looking at? Back then, she was my son's wife! How I chose to discipline her is our family matter. It's none of your business."

I nodded. "True. I didn't stand up to you back then. That was my weakness, and I deserved it. So I swallowed my grievances and said nothing."

Chloe's expression softened slightly as she tried to redirect the focus. "What we should be discussing now is Jessica."

The next video played revealed Chloe discussing her relationship with Steven with Jessica. Everyone was shocked.
