"You are very modest!" Ella Charles said as she took the cup with both hands and sipped some water.
Ella was also carefully assessing the woman in front of her.
Although it was only a few sentences and a brief interaction, Ella felt that the woman before her was nothing like the vile person Grace had described.
Looking at the graceful and composed woman, speaking gently and exuding good manners, Ella could not reconcile this image with the words "scheming, troublemaker, slanderous" she had heard from Grace Ziegler's mouth.
Who wouldn't like such a kind-hearted woman?
Was her relationship with Daniel really that bad?
Could it be because of Grace's interference that they were getting a divorce?
Although Ella didn't know the woman before her very well and couldn't find any faults with her—even having never met before—she had a certain fondness and satisfaction towards this daughter-in-law.
The facts did not match Grace's depiction; perhaps, it was Grace who was deceiving her.
