âWhatâs the rush?â Carrie spat out the skin of a grape and said, displeased, âThe family doctor just said that sheâs fine, right? Sheâll get better after a bit of rest, wonât she?â
âMom-â
Carrie was frantic. Her mother had come up with the plot. Nothing was supposed to go wrong, but now everything had spiraled south. She was terrified.
Matthew looked like he wanted to flay her alive. If the matter was known by Alan, she was probably going to be judged by the whole family.
âYou and your cowardice!â Carrie shook her head, exasperated. She just had to give birth to such a useless daughter.
If her daughter had half her capabilities, she wouldnât have been unable to get the man Matthew up to this point.
âA while later, youâll go upstairs and apologize to Blanca directly.â
âHuh? Me, apologize to her?!â
In Louiseâs mind, she was the lady of the house, supported and loved by everybody. Who was Blanca again?
Just some country girl, but now she was flying all the way to the top!
As she saw how timid and irresponsible her daughter was, Carrie was fuming.
âHow many times have I told you? Watch where the wind blows, and keep a low profile when you need to. Apologize to her properly, and then no matter what, just insist that you hadnât meant it. With me here, they canât do anything to you.â
âReally...â Louise looked indecisively at her mother.
Carrie nodded and patted her clothes down. âCome on. Letâs get this done before your grandfather comes back. If he does, and knows about what happened, I canât help you either.â
With that, Carrie took her daughterâs hand and was about to lead her upstairs.
âStop right there!â
There came a bark from behind. The mother and daughter halted in their tracks, exchanged a glance, and turned around.

Louise also greeted him with a wavering voice. âGrandpa...â
Alan had been visiting a friend when heâd received Matthewâs call and knew that Louise had shut Blanca in a storehouse. Heâd flown into a rage and rushed back.
The moment he stepped in, heâd heard Carrie and Louiseâs conversation.
He was about to spit fire.
âYouâve got some nerve, Louise!â Alan raged. âWe Grants have always valued integrity. You might not be my flesh and blood, but Iâve always done my best to teach you how to behave. I didnât think youâd go so far against Blanca with such methods!â
Talking about the Grant family and then Blanca in rapid succession, he clearly meant that Louise wasnât part of the family, and didnât match Blancaâs position in Alanâs heart.
Louiseâs eyes reddened and she bit her lip.
âWhat? Youâre pissed?â Alan stamped his cane in his wrath.
Louise stiffened. Sure she was pissed. She was also pissing her pants with Alan here.
âGrandpa, I... I didnât mean it. I w-was just playing a prank on Blanca.â
âA prank? Itâs fun playing a prank with your sister-in-lawâs life?â Alan had always been strict with his children, and he really was angry now. He shot a look at Mr. Johnson and spat, âShut Louise in the storeroom and show her what the prank feels like!â
Everyone obeyed Alanâs word, and Louiseâs eyes widened. She tugged at Carrie in terror. âMom! Mom, help me, Iâll freeze to death in there!â
