“That’s right. I heard that your daughter–in–law opened a multi–brand boutique that sells stylish clothes, and it is doing so well that many people line up to buy one,” chuckled someone.
Another one echoed, “Mrs. Harrington, we’re good friends, aren’t we? Could you talk to her and ask her to send us a couple of outfits from her shop?”
Carol’s face turned grim because of the flattery these ladies were giving Gilda.
Carol used to think Gilda was just an orphan who grew up in the country, and she never took her seriously. Furthermore, Carol even forced Gilda to divorce Jensen.
Carol had never expected Gilda’s real family background to be so prestigious.
Carol couldn’t believe that Gilda was the granddaughter of the richest man in the world, and she regretted so much how she’d treated Gilda that she’d ended up in this situation.
One of Carol’s friends said, “Mrs. Harrington, why don’t you say something? Yes or no? If you say yes, I’ll take my friends to visit your daughter–in–law’s shop.”
Carol coughed to avoid her embarrassment and stammered, “Well… I never interfere in her business.”
“Oh, Mrs. Harrington, you are being so modest! She’s your son’s wife! All you need to do is talk to her about this.”
“Yeah, I bet she’ll agree. After all, you’re her husband’s mother. Or is it, Mrs. Harrington, that you don’t have her respect?”
Carol felt humiliated.
Carol knew that if she refused them, she would never be accepted by them again.
Therefore, Carol smiled, “Of course not. I’m her mother–in–law; she’ll say yes. Didn’t you guys say you wanted to shop at her place? No problem. I’ll take you guys along some other time.”
Another person asked, “Mrs. Harrington, I’ve heard she’s a great designer. Can you have her design an outfit for me?”
Carol agreed without hesitation, “No problem. I will let her design it for you.”
“Mrs. Harrington, thank you so much. You must be very close to your son’s wife, aren’t you?”
Carol only felt embarrassed about this question.
Carol did not forget how much she had belittled Gilda in front of them and said that Gilda was too lowly to be Jensen’s wife and part of the Harrington family!
But since Gilda wasn’t there right now, Carol echoed without guilt, “That’s for sure! Gilda and I are very

close, and I treat her as well as I would treat my daughter.”

Hearing this, Megan couldn’t help but say, “Why is she so disgusting? Has she forgotten how badly she treated you before? How dare she talk such nonsense just because she knows who you really are? She’s so shameless.
Gilda was sickened by this too.
Gilda couldn’t believe that Carol said she was as good to her as she was to her daughter and that sounded so ridiculous.
Gilda had endured it countless times for her love of Jensen, but all she got was more excessive treatment from Carol. Luckily now she didn’t need to put up with it, and she didn’t have to.
Gilda sneered, “Mrs. Harrington, you said you were close to me? How did I not know that?”
Gilda’s words instantly interrupted the conversation between the ladies, and Carol was also stunned. The feeling of being caught on the spot made her a little embarrassed.
Carol watched as Gilda walked out, whose face hadn’t changed but her temperament was completely different.
Carol used to patronize Gilda, but now she only felt oppression when Gilda stood in front of her.
