Chương 146:  A Trumped-up Charge [II]

Albert nodded slightly with a smile. He was again very happy with how graciously she comported herself under the circumstances. She was sensible and reasonable. "It's rare to have a daughter-in-law who is so well behaved. You should treat her well in the future. Don't try to find fault with your family members for an irrelevant outsider." He had made it very clear that he didn't want Valery to become a member of the Rong family.

Mary held her tongue and sulked in silence. She knew very well that Albert bore a grudge against Elizabeth because of the fact that Elizabeth had kicked Luce out of his life. However, he had never shown it.

Perhaps that explained why he didn't like Valery and why he supported Hazel.

Noticing his wife's silence, Albert did not address her again and left her to reflect on her actions. He turned his back on her and walked away with Walt and Hazel.
