Carole was brazenly bringing her daughter her for humiliation.
Elaine's disdain was barely concealed as she faintly ushered Carole, along with Nanson and Anthea inside.
"Carole and Nanson have come over."
The living room couch was lined with family members.
There sat Carole's parents, Felton and Gemma as well as Carole's another sister, Susan.
Speaking of which, Felton and Gemma were quite an interesting pair of parents.
Among their five children, their favorite was undoubtedly their second son, Saul.
Then came their eldest daughter, Elaine.
Elaine had married well, which meant she could help out her family financially.
Indeed, Elaine wielded considerable influence in the Yeager family and her say was nearly law which all matters.
Even Saul, the favored son, played second fiddle to Elaine.
Upon hearing Elaine's announcement, Felton and Gemma showed no particular emotion. They didn't even lift their eyelids, a clear sign of their indifference towards Carole and Nanson.
Nanson greeted coolly. His grievances with his parents were nothing new.
The favoritism of his childhood was bad enough, but being kicked out at seventeen because Saul needed a house for his wedding was the last straw.
With nowhere else to turn, Nanson had sought refuge with Carole.
When the family property was divided, yielding four houses, Felton and Gemma kept them all for Saul.
