Stepping Back (1)

Abigail thought that Adrienne would ask her help to deal with her cousin, Ayla Jiang, but as she listened to the young lady's words before her, she realized that Adrienne had her own ways of dealing with her enemies. Other mothers-in-law would surely disapprove of such a scheming woman marrying their son, but Abigail wasn't sure what to feel about it.

On the one hand, she was satisfied that Adrienne wasn't taking advantage of their relationship, but a part of Abigail couldn't help but be wary of her future daughter-in-law. She knew Adrienne held a deep grudge toward the Jiang family, but she was too conniving. She didn't have any filial piety left, even for her father.
