Chloe nodded. Once Lila was gone, her expression relaxed significantly.

When she had first come downstairs, she had been miserable. She had assumed everyone knew Ethan had ditched her. Who knew they were all in the dark?

Even Miranda’s attitude had done a complete 180. It seemed the dissatisfaction from the previous scandal had vanished instantly.

Chloe steeled herself and rolled with the lie. At this moment, she felt like her position as the future Mrs. Hale was Finally secure!

‘Don’t worry, Mrs. Hale. I’ll always be patient with Lils.”

Grandma Hale set down her chopsticks and rose from the table.

Grandma, are you finished?” Chloe asked.

I’m finished. I have no appetite.” Grandma walked straight to the living room.

Oh, Chloe murmured.

Grandma is getting older; her appetite is inconsistent sometimes. It’s fine,” Miranda said dismissively. “Hurry up and eat so you can take that soup to Ethan.”

Chloe nodded, a smile finally spreading across her face.

Mrs. Gallagher led Mia to the table and introduced her to the others one by one. “This is Mrs. Lin, this is Mrs. Zhang…”

The women greeted Mia, but their eyes were full of suspicion, trying to guess her identity.
