"Does this mean that old Mr. Harper doesn't recognize Mrs. Harper's identity?"
"When old Mr. Harper brought Miss Fox over, wasn't he telling everyone that he only recognizes Miss Fox as his granddaughter-in-law?"
"Mr. Harper is so lucky, both wives came to the party."
"I wonder who will come out victorious in the end, Mrs. Harper or Miss Fox."
...
When old Mr. Harper saw Elliot and Rose standing nearby, his pupils contracted and anger was evident on his face.
He walked quickly towards Elliot, tapping his cane forcefully on the ground.
Madeleine followed closely behind him and when she saw Rose, a flash of resentment passed through her eyes before she showed a hint of guilt.
"Rose, what are you doing here?"
"If I had known you were here, I wouldn't have come; it wouldn't be good if people misunderstood me."
As soon as her innocent voice fell, old Mr. Harper snorted.
"Misunderstand what? What's there to misunderstand!"
"You're my granddaughter-in-law in the Harper family; I only recognize you!"
Elliot heard this and his pupils deepened while he unconsciously tightened his hand at his side.
"Why did you come, Grandfather?"
"Do I have to let you bully Madeleine if I don't come?"
Old Mr. Harper said these words with anger while casting an unfriendly gaze at Rose wishing he could tear her apart right now.
Rose looked indifferent watching this farce unfold before her eyes feeling like it had nothing to do with herself.
She was willing to let Madeleine have her deep love but unfortunately Elliot would not let go of her.
If Elliot was willing to divorce her, then she would have left long ago.
Upon hearing this, old Mr. Harper sighed helplessly and glanced at Madeleine standing beside him.
"If you put as much effort into Elliot as you do on me, he wouldn't have been blinded by those vixens outside."
Rose on the opposite side heard this and smiled slightly as if she had heard a joke.
Was old Mr. Harper accusing her of being a vixen?
But she couldn't care less about Elliot's mess with Madeleine anyway.
She was just waiting for Elliot to be in a good mood one day so they could divorce directly.
"Elliot."
Elliot furrowed his eyebrows slightly while the air around him dropped several degrees.
