Just as she was looking forward to tasting the delicious Knox Ridge, she was taken aback by the scolding. She turned around and looked at Julius Reed with a puzzled expression. "What did you say?"
In Knox Ridge's memory, Julius Reed had always been a doormat. Even though Julius Reed had become more confident recently and was surrounded by odd people, it didn't alter her perception of him. She thought it was her right to scold this son-in-law who had married into her family. But now this son-in-law was actually talking back?
"I said this isn't edible!" Julius Reed raised his head and looked at Knox Ridge with a cold stare. His eyes seemed like a deep abyss and managed to send a shiver down even the fiery Knox Ridge's spine.
"Do you talk to your mother like that?" Burl Radcliffe, under his wife's influence and seeing her humiliated, was the first to react. "Julius Reed, it seems you have forgotten your place! Remember, you're just a son-in-law who married into our family!"
