The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 448

"Chloe might have gone to pick a fight with Annalise, but Annalise wasn't having any of it and shot her down right away, making her look bad," Tinsley said. "When Chloe realized she couldn't control Annalise, she switched gears and started trying to turn you against her." She grabbed Rowena's hand and added, "If I ever end up divorced and stuck with a mother-in-law like that—"

"Then, I'd be giving your mother-in-law a piece of my mind, too!" Rowena snapped. After she said that, she seemed to catch herself and looked up at Tinsley.

Tinsley grinned. "Yeah, so don't be like her."

Rowena nodded solemnly, looking relieved. "Thank God you're here, or I might've actually fallen for her nonsense. Chloe's just nasty."

Tinsley nodded. "Yeah, no doubt."

Rowena was frustrated. "She really thinks she can use me? No way, I'm going to figure out a way to get back at her. Otherwise, that old hag will think I'm an idiot!"

Tinsley watched Rowena leave, then casually flopped onto the couch and grabbed her phone to call Zane. "Hey, Zane, did Annalise's ex-mother-in-law show up at your office trying to start something with her?"

Zane was slightly surprised but answered honestly, "Yeah. Chloe's current daughter-in-law is Jessica Shardlow. She's the one who screwed up Steven and Annalise's relationship, but after he got with Jessica, he realized he still loved Annalise.
