What was more, when Shania was speaking, David remained silent. In despair, Mrs. Brennan knew whom David supported. Distinctly, he did not stand by his parents' side.

Mrs. Brennan had a son! She had once believed that David was the best son in the world and he would definitely back her whatever happened between her and her daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Brennan had also been confident that she would have had overpowered her daughter-in-law and made the girl obedient. In her fantasy, she would have kicked the girl's ass, if she was not submissive.

However, she found it just the opposite—Shania overpowered her.

Mrs. Brennan could no longer make a scene as usual, but she was not going to be tolerant of it. She grinned with dissatisfaction and argued with Shania, "Your parents run many companies abroad, but it seems they don't teach you good things. Will a well-educated lady come to her parents-in-law's house to coerce and threaten them?"

Shania gave her a bright grin. "I wonder whether you know that businessmen do whatever to make profits. My parents' big business is built on their ‘shrewdness'."

Shania freely introduced her parents with self-deprecating humor—being scolded as an ill-bred girl did not irritate her in the least.

Shania went on, "And, since you know about my parents, I shall inform you. When David and I give birth to our babies, you don't have to worry about who takes care of them. My parents will come to help, and you can just enjoy your later years at home."

Mrs. Brennan had dreamed of going to a big city and helping David look after his son all the time. However, what Shania said excluded her from their life, and thus, her dream fell.

Moreover, Shania's decision showed an undisguised dislike for her.
