Madam Stockton was seated on a chair inside the dressing room, and there was a grave look on her
face.
Julie felt tension the moment she saw her. She whispered, “Mom…”
Madam Stockton glared at her. “Don’t call me ‘Mom‘. You are no longer my daughter- in–law!”
She had a secret room built into her dressing room which was an altar filled with pictures of John!
There was even a sculpture sculpted in the likeness of John!
Even an idiot could tell at one glance that Julie was obsessed with him.
Madam Stockton felt insulted to think that she had once expressed her concern for Julie and that she
felt she had been too hard on Julie the last time.
This entire time, Julie was not merely trying to drive away Sherry to secure her position in the family.
She was out for John! She wanted John for himself! She was going to claim the brother of her
deceased husband for herself!
They had lived together for so many years, and it was only now that she found out this terrible dark
secret that Julie had been hiding the entire time!
She could not believe that this was the true nature of her daughter–in–law of whom she had once been
so proud. She was furious and exasperated! She felt like she was going to lose her mind!
She was about to storm out of the room when she heard something drop on the floor. It sent tremors
across the floor.
Julie knelt in front of her.
Madam Stockton was stunned by this display, at a loss for what to say.
Julie cried and spilled her heart out, “I’m so sorry. It’s just that I couldn’t resist. He’s the best man I have
ever known and I could not repress my desire for him.” She bawled her eyes out and was filled with
remorse for what she had done.
Madam Stockton did not know what to make of this. She glared at Mia who was standing by the door,
and shooed her away. “You, leave us.”
Mia quickly scuttled away.
Madam Stockton turned her attention back to Julie. It made her uncomfortable to see Julie kneeling in
front of her.
She had a point. There was not a single man in the entirety of Glanchester who could match with the
likes of John Stockton. Not only was he the richest man in
Glanchester, but there was also no one more attractive than he was.
Since the incident with Shannon, there had been countless people approaching her and proposing to
have their daughters wed John.
Julie’s husband passed shortly after she married into the family, and ever since then the only man she
was in close contact with was John, she was one of the few faces she knew in Glanchester. Provided
these circumstances, it was only natural that she would catch feelings.
However, the thought of the creepy room full of pictures of John and the wax figure… It made her feel
sick.
After a long silence, she finally spoke, “Julie, since you’ve been with our family for so many years, I will
forget about what I’ve seen inside this room today. However, you will have to get rid of all of it, and I
mean all of it within two days. Destroy it all.”
Julie choked up. “I know, I understand.”
“Also, John is a married man. Get rid of whatever gross thoughts you have about him. I promise you
that I will scour Glanchester for a man worthy to take your hand in marriage.”
She had considered finding a new partner for Julie for some time, but it was Julie who had objected to
the idea. With things the way they were now, she decided that the matter was of the utmost urgency.
Julie’s eyes were puffed up from all that crying. “Just promise me that you won’t kick me out of the
house, will you? I will never harbor these ideas about John in the future. I swear I genuinely want to be
by your side and be your support.”
Madam Stockton took a deep breath. “Julie, you’re still young and have a whole life ahead of you.
There’s no need for you to feel obliged to stick by my side. Don’t worry, no matter who you choose to
marry later on, you will always be an honorary Stockton and if you encounter any trouble, you know
who to call.”
“But I don’t want to remarry. I want to be with the family!”
Madam Stockton rose and looked at Julie with iron in her eyes. “I’ve already made up my mind. I’ll talk
to your parents one of these days and we’ll find a suitable match for you.”
Julie was alarmed by this. “You’re going to talk to my parents?”
“Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone what I saw tonight.”
“No, that’s not what I meant, I—”
Before she could finish, Madam Stockton walked past her and walked out of her bedroom.
Julie went limp completely and slumped to the ground. Her expression turned rigid, and gone were the
tears in her eyes. She let the spite inside her fester and soon, she ‘was scowling insidiously and filled
with hatred.
She had been a widow at the Stockton household for almost a decade!
She had been playing the long game of being a diligent daughter–in–law for so many years, hoping to
dig her claws into John one day.
Madam Stockton was going to drive her out now? Don’t even think about it!
