The Woman From Hell

Chapter 195

Miss Woods sighed and continued, "I remember the time when you first arrived in the Grant family. You were full of smiles. Old Madam Grant figured that Mr. Grant would one day be influenced by you and start to smile after the two of you got along after some time.

Hence, I said to her with a smile, "Miss Woods, you've seen how he's been treating me all these years. He won't change because of me. That's my destiny and I acknowledge it. I'll control my emotions next time and stop quareling with him. Don’t worry."
