“Now what? This is a major catastrophe! What on earth should we do?

“I’ve been saying it all along, Joanna is a walking curse. Anyone who gets entangled with her is bound to be unlucky, Ingrid continued her complaints.

Bruce was already overwhelmed with turmoil. Ingrid’s words only added fuel to his frustration, pushing him closer to his breaking point.

Unable to contain himself, Shaun burst out, “How can we just leave it at that? She’s your mother. We are close, aren’t we? Who can possibly remain calm in the face of such a colossal mess?

Bruce had long stopped taking the Haynes family members seriously! Ingrid trying to assert her authority here would only infuriate him.

“Alright then!

“Got it!”

“Roxy, you’re pregnant now! Take care of yourself, don’t overexert!”

“Yes, yes, I understand!”
