Upon hearing Lyndon's voice, Rena's discomfort grew. Yet Eloise, with a tender touch, covered Rena's hand and reminded her, "He's a guest. Your father always taught you not to be rude."

Forced to put on a facade of civility, Rena summoned a strained smile

Eloise graciously welcomed the Coleman family inside. However, even before Eloise could entertain them, Lyndon's mother, Ann, seemed on the verge of tears. She exclaimed in disbelief, "I can't believe that my dear granddaughter lives in such humble surroundings! Lyndon, you've failed as a father."

Lyndon's wife trembled with anger, her composure crumbling.

“Lyndon, look at the people around Rena. I've told you that she grew up in a complicated environment and it's not suitable for her to go back to the Coleman family. In comparison, Elvira is much simpler."

Lyndon, torn between his loyalty to his family and Rena, hesitated
