A Wake Up Slap

Five minutes later, the Beaumont ladies were ushered into the living room.

After announcing their presence, Mr Fitz stepped aside to let them in.

Doreen and Cory stepped into the living room, they couldn't help but feel like they were stepping into the lion's den.

The atmosphere was quite different from the ones they were used to whenever they came in the past.

As they entered, their eyes immediately fell upon Jace and Caden. They only got a glance from Caden but the main person they came for remained impassive and didn't even behave like anyone had entered.

"Uncle, Aunt," Cory cried as soon as her eyes landed on the two new faces in the living room.

They never expected to see Mr Brandon and his wife. Seeing them was like having a glimpse of sunshine in their dark sky.

Rose's welcoming smile and elegant demeanor, dressed in a sophisticated cream-colored silk blouse and navy blue skirt, instantly provided an immediate sense of comfort.
