Reflections Mansion.
Kenneth and Louisa were utterly shocked upon hearing that George had lost his temper and hit someone in defense of Bella.
In their eyes, George was not a man prone to anger or violence, especially not in public.
"That just goes to show how much Mr. McMillian cherishes his daughter-in-law, Bella. He can't bear to see her treated unfairly," Edith, their housekeeper, said with a grin, "Bella is truly blessed to have such caring in-laws."
"I heard that a couple of days ago, Jennifer even stood up for Bella and put the Evert family's daughter in her place," Louisa added, feeling a wave of emotion. It was clear to her that George and Jennifer saw Bella as their own daughter and went to great lengths to protect her.
With such in-laws, she was confident that Bella would lead a happy life in the future.
"They're coming over tonight. Edith, have you prepared everything I asked for?" Louisa suddenly asked.
George and Jennifer were to visit that evening on Bella's behalf. Jennifer had arranged to go shopping with Bella to not only buy her things but also to pick out gifts for Kenneth and Louisa.
However, Louisa was unaware of that.
"Madam, everything is ready," Edith answered, smiling, "The house has been thoroughly cleaned, fresh flowers have been placed in the vases, and there's no shortage of pastries and fruits. We're just waiting for their arrival."
"Good, good," Louisa glanced at the clock, noting that they had two hours left until the agreed meeting time. She was filled with anticipation.
At that moment, Serena entered the gate of Reflections Mansion, noticing the considerable changes in and around the house. The garden was adorned with a variety of new flowers, each blooming vibrantly.
"Serena, you're finally here," Martha pulled her aside and whispered, "Have you decided on the piece for tonight's performance? And your dress? Do you need my help?"
