Dusk Snow Hides All Return (Rowan and Adrienne) novel Chapter 146

Chapter 120

I opened the bag, took out the breakfast, turned on the TV, found a drama, and ate while watching. It was a family drama, and when it showed the scene of a mother–in–law and daughter–in–law fighting, I thought of Vera and Tanner.

Yesterday evening, they both returned to the Winter family home. Had they formed an alliance? Had Vera so quickly forgotten being scapegoated and tricked? Although she wasn’t particularly clever, she wasn’t that stupid either. Would she really still want such a daughter–in–law?

couldn’t understand Vera’s logic, but it wasn’t a bad thing for me; there was another person putting pressure on Jason.

However, the main effort still depended on Tanner…although, so far, she hadn’t achieved much.

After breakfast, I curled up on the sofa, discussing with my wolf what to do next. Should I provoke Tanner again to unleash her potential? My wolf dismissed the idea, “SHE ALREADY HAD A TENDENCY TOWARDS MADNESS, PUSHING HER FURTHER MIGHT NOT BE A GOOD THING.”

My thoughts paused. Remembering that I hadn’t replied to Liam, I called him. He had been taking care of my meals, and the day before yesterday, he had meticulously reminded me to be careful. I needed to let him know I was safe.

Actually, Liam already knew. Because Xander had returned to the penthouse apartment at midnight. He didn’t say anything, just smiled reassuringly. “It’s good that you’re alright.”

Before I could hang up, another call came in. It was Ivy…this gossipy woman.

I said goodbye to Liam and hung up, answering Ivy’s call.“Ivy, what is it now?”

‘Oh my god, Sophia! Were you offline?! Did you see the statement from the Winter family? Your mother–in–law is slandering you! I’m furious!”

‘… What slander?” I was puzzled.

I asked Ivy not to hang up and checked myself.

Twenty minutes ago, the Winter family used Horizon Group’s official account to release a clarifying video about the Twitter

incident.

Before this, the public was clueless about the man in the video. The influencers, having received payment, couldn’t and wouldn‘ reveal anything. There was no communication between different circles. This is why many celebrities and insiders know about each other’s secret bondings, children, and various messy relationships, burthe general public knows nothing.

The Winter family could have remained silent and stayed out of it. But they chose to self–expose at this time.

I saw Vera’s grand press conference. Hearing the content, my blood pressure rose.

At the press conference, Vera introduced herself as the mother of the man in the Twitter video. She claimed to know the truth. The entire story wasn’t as everyone saw it.

She said that the Winter and Cooper families had a long–standing betrothal agreement. They were well–matched, although there was a slight age gap, but their relationship was always good, and both families were waiting for Tanner to reach the bondingable age to hold a bonding ceremony.

Then I appeared. She claimed that I desperately wanted to bond into a wealthy family, knowing about Jason’s engagement, yet still used despicable methods to seduce and force him to mark me and bond me. Although I succeeded, the Winter family had never recognized it.

She said that in the past two years, Jason had gradually seen through my gold–digging nature, my greed, and my infidelity during his business trips. She said that her son was deeply affected, and that’s when the Winter and Cooper families started collaborating on a project, leading to close contact between Jason and Tanner.
