“The cook is excellent and the shrimps taste so good!” Rosales praised.
Breda corrected her, “It’s cooked by Mrs. Calsis.”
“Oh…well…” Rosales stammered, “Mrs. Calsis is really good at cooking.”
Mrs. Calsis had to gasp quietly. That was why she had never really accepted Jimmy Watson. The whole Watson
family actually left her a very negative impression just after the first meal with them. Mrs. Calsis could have
displayed her displeasure now, but for Rose’s sake.
When Rosales had almost filled herself with the meal, she began to look at Theresa critically. As it crossed Rosales’s
mind that Jimmy told her Theresa was married to Rose’s uncle Charlie, she turned to Rose elaborately, “How come I

Rose looked around and didn’t find Charlie. She replied in bewilderment, “I’m not sure about that.” She then
turned to Theresa for the answer.
“He may be engaged in something now.” Theresa replied curtly, not willing to say too much in front of
Rosales. She actually was trying hard to ignore the presence of Rosales.
With an obvious sneer, Rosales mocked, “Are you really the wife of Charlie? You don’t seem to know what he’s up
to.”
Her mouth twitching, Theresa retorted, “It the matter between the couple of us. None of your business.” A bitch
was, Theresa said to herself, someone who sought humiliation even when you had kept away from her. It surprised
Rosales a lot that Theresa should have dared to rebut her bluntly in front a table of people. How deferential she
used to be when she was Rosales’ daughter-in-law before! And now, Theresa had grown with
the guts to protest! Jeering at Theresa, Rosales decided to give her a lesson, “How dare you speak to your elder so
defiantly?”
“My elder?” Theresa corrected her with a faint smile, “Do you mean you? Please don’t forget the fact that I’m
now the wife of your son’s uncle. We are actually of the same generation. How come you are my elder?” Rosales
was struck dumb. She didn’t realize the mistake until now. She could no longer deploy the weapon of
being an elder in the altercation with Theresa, and that almost exasperated Rosales when she thought of
Theresa used to be the one being bullied. Rosales thus turned to Mrs. Calsis with a vicious plan on her mind,
“Madam, though it’s improper for me to remind you of some fact, I just feel it my duty to let you know it since
we’re a family now.”
“What’s it?” Mr. Calsis asked.

“Theresa was my daughter-in-law. Her father gave her quite some dowry when she married. I have been
considering why it’s such a great amount of fortune until I finally figured out she is basically a dishonest woman,
and the dowry is simply compensation to us. Look here, Jimmy was working so hard to support the home, while she
was sleeping with other man and even had children of them. Your family has to look out of her!”
Theresa took a gasp hearing that. She married beneath herself because Jimmy had been much less well off back
then. Her beloved father had to give her some amount so that she wouldn’t have to worry about the daily expense.
She didn’t ask Jimmy for a penny back when they divorced, and now, that dowry became her fault in the eyes of
Rosales!
Cristina finally couldn’t stand the lunatic woman and was about to rise to rebuke her, when Theresa held her back
under the table.
