Bryan Hawkins only acknowledges one woman as his wife. Everyone else in the past, be it Phoebe Miller or Matilda Ferguson, are all history now.
Everyone finally realized that their recent peaceful life had made them completely forget how devilish Bryan was before. They thought Bryan had become kinder thanks to Mrs. Hawkins, but that didn't mean Bryan would tolerate their nonsensical gossip. And yet, they spread those false rumors online as if they were true. They must have a death wish.
The distribution of wedding candies was not to please them, but to threaten and warn them. If they want to quit, they can continue to spread the rumors.
So when Carolline Ruiz arrived, without Xavier Estrada's reminder or Bryan's introduction, everyone respectfully called her Mrs. Hawkins.
Carolline nodded at them and responded with greetings. Bryan Hawkins stood by her side, smiling brightly.
