Jonathan jumped at the urgency, "Ah, okay! I'm on it!" "You know, I'm rather curious about how you managed to snag my son." With things already out in the open, Amanda figured she might as well clear up her own confusion.

Amanda let out a derisive snort, "So there you have it! You still deny that you were the one who lured my son in? Maybe he cafter you first, but if you weren't intending on having him spend his money on you, none of this would've started!" Dorothy's gaze fell as she picked up her coffee cup and took a sip.

Well, lettell you, I'll never consent to it! Even if Everett's father agrees, I'll never accept you as my daughter-in-law!" But Dorothy just shook her head, "That's not it either." "Then what in the world do you want?" "Don't you know what you owe?" Dorothy suddenly lifted her gaze and smiled, "Have you ever heard the saying? 'The blood must be answered with-blood." Exactly.
