Sharon stomped her foot, feeling frustrated.
Caleb flashed a meaningful smile. "Mrs. Barrett, is it this hard to admit someone else's capability? You should be proud to have had such a successful daughter-in-law. You shouldn't think that you can control her because these are her achievements. We should respect each other, not take each other down." He just couldn't get why Sharon disliked Mia.
