Edgar Lockwood turned a cold face to Grace Lockwood. "Grace, when you married into the Lockwood family, what did I tell you on our wedding night?"
Grace Lockwood said, "You told me to listen to you for the rest of my life."
"And are you listening to me now?"
Grace's face turned grim. Edgar continued, "The day after you married me, what did my parents tell you? That you were now the matriarch of the Lockwood family, and your duty was to uphold the family's honor. Now, you're willing to tarnish the Lockwood name just because of your personal preference. You want to plan a wedding for them? Is a divorced woman even worthy?"
Grace's face turned visibly pale.
Mrs. Lockwood stepped forward angrily. "Don't you dare try to manipulate my mother-in-law. You know exactly what you've done. What right do you have to speak to her like that?"
Grace said furiously, "You can't talk like that! He's your father-in-law. You must respect him! You're our daughter-in-law. How can you be so disrespectful?"
Mrs. Lockwood was stunned. Her mother-in-law had never spoken to her like this before, never so harshly.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Lockwood looked at Grace in disbelief.
Grace said, "Your father-in-law is right. I have failed in my duty. As the matriarch, I must uphold the family's honor. The Lockwood family will not be hosting their wedding."
"Mom, how can you do this? Since they've decided to be together, we, as their elders, should be preparing a wedding for them."
"Are you refusing to listen to me now?"
Grace's tone was fierce, and Mrs. Lockwood didn't know what to say.
Grace let out a sigh.
"Forget it. They've left. It's good that they've left. The burden of the Lockwood name is far too heavy."
Lucas and Liana, however, had already darted into the house. A moment later, they rushed back out, hacking and choking on the dust.
"Daddy, there's so much dust in there! I feel like I'm breathing in more dirt than air!"
Liana nodded vigorously, also covered in dust and coughing.
"Things are going to be a bit tough from now on. If you two can't handle it, you can go back to the Lockwood estate. I don't think that old man would kick you out."
Lucas said, "No way! Daddy, Mommy, we're definitely staying with you!"
Natalie froze. Daddy and Mommy? Where did 'Mommy' come from?
Liana also gestured excitedly.
[Now Daddy and Mommy can finally be together for real. We have to stay with them. I don’t care about the dust. I’m a pro at cleaning.]

I think Terence must know something isn't right about Angela, that's why he agreed to figure it out....
Marie needs to be gone, she has caused enough trouble for Natalie. This is getting boring!...
This fiasco needs to end. Natalie and Terrance need to be together and in my mind somehow those twins are Natalie’s....
Time for Marie to get her end, this has gone on way too long, time to move on. It’s getting boring....
Payback time. Waiting for chapters 321 onwards!...
I love the sarcastic comebacks. Quite amusing!...
