The dinner went well but Kenzie noticed that Daryl and Harry were both quiet. The two would only talk when asked about something, while Daryl's stepmother kept talking nonstop, trying hard to get at Kenzie's good side.
Karen was aware of who Kenzie was. She had scolded her son nonstop when she had learned that Daryl had managed to marry the heiress to Chua Group and not her son. So Karen had started planning ways to get Daryl kicked out of the house again. They had already managed to do it once several years ago and she was sure they could do it again now.
They were almost there, just a few more steps to secure the future of her own son. She had gone through hell just to reach where she was right now. She would do everything to maintain the status quo and she would not let anyone block her way from achieving it.
"How about some tea in the veranda, guys?" Marius said and everyone readily agreed.
