NovelEnglishChapter 225 Since Timothy passed away, it felt like Teresa was the sole source of warmth left in Bryant's life when it was about family. But if what Margaret had said were true, it would change his view on the family affection. Decades of emotion would be all breaking apart Growing up in a less-than-perfect family only to face this ordeal was like being dealt a devastating blow all over again.

That was me.
Looking at Bryant, she cooed, "Bryant, who is she?" Bryant's brow furrowed as he introducedin a cold tone, "My wife." Dorothy's eyes widened, her delicate finger pointing at me. "Isn't your wife that woman from the trending searches? The less attractive one!" Her gaze towardwas all wariness.
