Chapter 13
Upon hearing Albert’s distant tone, Carter was momentarily taken aback.
In his memory, Albert has always been satisfied with his son–in–law, and he was also very welcoming to his family.
Unlike now.
He tightened his grip on the telephone receiver, feeling that Albert’s attitude was somewhat strange, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on what was strange about it.
Albert on the other end of the phone listened to Carter without saying a word, about to hang up.
Carter then realized and quickly asked Albert, “Has Helen gone home? Is it convenient to take a call?”
Albert paused for a moment, then Eleanor snatched the phone with a somewhat strange tone.
You meddled in everything, managing every aspect of Helen’s life. Don’t you know whether she will come back to you or not?
Carter was taken aback, only then did he remember why the Spencer family was displeased with him.
When Helen became a widow, the Spencer family was afraid that she would be mistreated if left alone, so they decided to bring her back and find her a good family to marry into.

Chapter 13
But Carter didn’t die at all, how could he possibly watch his wife many someone else?
So he was fighting desperately to block the entrance, preventing anyone from the Spencer family from entering.
Ignoring the gossip of others, he knelt before the Spencer family, swearing to the heavens that he would treat Helen well.
The Spencer family simply did not believe his words and insisted on taking Helen away no matter what.
Finally, he asked the leader above to come out before resolving the
matter.
From then on, the Spencer family never looked kindly upon him or the Hoffman family again.
Carter admitted his fault and thought that when Freya gave birth to the child, he would personally go to the Spencer family to apologize.
After hanging up the phone, Eleanor looked towards Albert beside her, her face looking a bit unpleasant.
How dare he come to ask us about Helen?
The Spencer family had long known that the person on the other end of the phone was Carter.
After all, Helen and Elliott had long known about their plan to get. married on the island through a matchmaker.
They did not tell Carter and the Hoffman family because Carter had deceived them first.
Chapter 13
They were just being polite.
Albert’s face was equally ugly, but he still patiently comforted his wife.
Don’t worry, I will never let him get away with it!
After Freya recovered from her miscarriage, she was taken back home by Carter, and the day she returned happened to be Beatrice’s sixtieth. birthday.
The Hoffman family’s status has risen over the years due to having a martyr son and a chief son.
On the day of the birthday banquet, the Hoffman family was bustling with activity, even Carter’s superiors came specially to visit Beatrice.
At one time, Beatrice was very popular.
She looked around the room and saw that the people sitting in the room were all members of the Hoffman family.
On the left are Carter and her eldest daughter-in–law Freya, and on the right are her youngest daughter and son–in–law who specially took a train back from New York where they now live.
The only empty seat at the bottom was supposed to be occupied by her second daughter–in–law, Helen.
Beatrice originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have Carl bring Helen back.
Carter successfully dissuaded Beatrice from continuing to cause trouble and harm Freya by using the excuse of the long journey and the fear of her becoming tired and returning.
Chapter 1)
The Hoffman family struggled with offspring, but finally managed to get Freya pregnant.
Beatrice also did not want Freya to have any more accidents.
It’s just a pity that not everyone showed up for the birthday banquet
this time.
With the sound of knocking outside, Beatrice quickly got up and said, “Let’s go. the banquet is about to begin.”
Freya quickly got up to help Beatrice, but Beatrice waved her hand and said. “No need, I can walk by myself.”
You are heavy now, and Caleb is taking care of you.
Freya’s face turned red all of a sudden, then she glanced at Carter who was coming to help her.
The moment their eyes met, she quickly looked away.
Seeing the two people with such a good relationship, others praised them endlessly.
The Hoffman family, who were the only ones who knew the truth, smiled somewhat reluctantly.
The Hoffman family’s yard was already decorated with lights, and the TV that Carter had bought was playing an interesting movie. On the other side, the stage was also performing a play that Beatrice loved to watch.
As the fireworks bloomed in the sky, the banquet finally reached its climax.
Chapter 11
Carter and Freya, one on each side, helped each other to the table,
where a longevity peach cake specially ordered by Freya from a bakery was placed.
Amidst the blessings of the crowd, Beatrice was about to pick up the knife to cut the cake.
The next moment, the tightly closed door was suddenly kicked open from the outside.
The Spencer family, with dark faces, burst in: “Caleb!”
The lively atmosphere came to an abrupt end as everyone looked at the approaching Spencer family, all puzzled.
Carter, who was called by name, had a slight change in expression.
He didn’t know why the Spencer family had come all the way to the Hoffman family, and he didn’t see Helen among the Spencer family
members.
Confusion, puzzlement, panic, and unease instantly enveloped his entire being.
Just as he was about to speak up, Beatrice quickly pulled out a smile and stepped forward to take Eleanor’s hand.
Oh, in–laws, how come you’re here?
Facing Beatrice’s flattery, Eleanor was completely unimpressed and pushed Beatrice away, saying, “Don’t call me mother–in–law!”
