Pointing at Adele Horne, she was angry and frustrated. Cursing through clenched teeth, she said, "Adele, how did I usually teach you? As an unmarried girl, your mouth shouldn't be like that of a gossiping old biddy. Even if you don't like Julia, she is your sister-in-law! How could you harm her like this? You even deceived me, making me look like an unreasonable, senseless mother-in-law who only protects her own child! You..." She was too angry to say more.
"Who put you up to this?" Glades Horne's expression was still cold and icy. The revelation that the family had misunderstood Julia Bluen didn't lessen his fury.
