They all remained silent, curious how Hailey would respond to Julia Lan.

In these passing months, they have witnessed how she did not back down but responding to any issues thrown at her. She always had an exploding answer to their lashing, for example, when Zenaida posted a suspicious post that pretended to be anonymous.

However, she quickly figures out that Zenaida, who is behind that post, turns the gossip toward her.

And now, watching her cast a question to the Lan is superior. Or at least what Jake, Carl, and Tim thought that Fearless.

The couple has known as vicious to shame many people. But in front of the Shen, especially toward Hilda Lopez, they were careful not to offend them.

But today they didn't like what they saw. Hilda and Fred allowed their son's mistress and didn't respect their daughter as the legal wife.

On the other hand, Vincent had known how Hailey would open her mouth if she senses that something is wrong. She could tell what truth and lies are. And he gives her every right to defend herself when it comes to the issues that someone is calling her the mistress.

He doesn't want anyone to bully her or judge her, nor step down on her. He would seek revenge even if those people are his in-laws, which only in the paper and not in his heart.

Besides, it's not Hailey's fault in the first place, and people didn't know the real reason for his marriage to Eva.

"Mrs. Lan, please refrain yourself from lashing out at my girlfriend, or you would regret opening your mouth. You probably would not like what I would do."

Julia Lan scoffs. She said, "Look at your son, Hilda. Is this how he was brought up? How dare he threaten me! I am his mother-in-law!"

Hilda blinks timidly. Her head was throbbing, listening to all this commotion, and now she lost her appetite. She didn't make an effort to lift her head, which can be noticed in her expression how she was irritated.

She wanted to scold Vince's girlfriend, but Julia Lan also annoyed her.

How dare she question how she raises her son? God knows how opposed she is to the affair. And clearly, Eva is also to blame that things have turned out this way.

The Lan daughter never becomes a wife to her son. And now she felt tired to deal with any of it.

Meanwhile, Julia Lan was enraged to see Hilda remain silent and seemed to ignore her instead.

When they came into the hospital unannounced, Julia was highly confident. But now, seeing Hilda didn't say a word, it grows concerned in her heart.

'Is the end of the Lan family?' she thought. But she would not allow it!

It takes a lot of work, effort, blood, and sweat to arrange for Eva, her daughter, to marry Shen's only son.

But it will be over soon because of this mistress who has a thick face!

Meanwhile, Ricky Lan could not find intimidating words to counter Vincent's threat toward them. Somehow, because of Vincent, they were saved from bankruptcy. Thoroughly provoking him would be the end of them. Eva didn't secure any assets yet as Vincent's wife.

Even he, as Eva's father, was upset about how irresponsible she was. Eva only thinks of herself. And if she says she could hide forever from Shen, then his daughter is wrong.

They are grateful that Vincent didn't take seriously about finding Eva to get a divorce. His daughter is not using her head. Eva should make a special request before signing the divorce agreement; Shen's can afford to give her that much.
