Chapter 8

Don't be afraid, Grandma's here.

I dozed off in a daze.

When I opened my eyes again, someone was lying beside me.

"You silly child, how could you abandon your husband and family to suffer alone?"

It was my mother-in-law.

Mrs. Stratton and my grandmother had a teacher-student relationship, so she had always been very kind to me.

From the day Kellan and I got married, she had Kellan transfer half of his shares to my name.

I knew she wanted to give me enough confidence to match these high-caliber people in this circle.

My mother-in-law's demeanor was very similar to my grandmother's. My nose stung as I turned and hugged her.

My voice was hoarse: "Mom, Cadence... is pregnant."

This was both expected and unexpected.

Mrs. Stratton was stunned for a moment, then exploded in anger: "That little bitch! Does she think having a child will make her my daughter-in-law?"

Kellan and I had been married for three years without having children.

Getting pregnant was also part of my plan.
