Mrs. Chambers offered a sigh, embraced Steffan from his back and asked, "How about you just forgive her, for my sake, darling?"

"Not this time, Helena. The reason why I previously accepted her as my daughter in-law was because she had been knowing her place and keeping her nose clean. While things are different now: if those photographs are to be spread among the public, not only will it be a total disgrace for our son Zachariah, but also a shame on our family!"

Mrs. Chambers sighed again and continued, "You knows that I love her a lot, don't you, darling? It really hurts to hear something like that from you."

Steffan turned around, held Mrs. Chambers in her arms and gently whispered, "Be rational, and don't get yourself possessed by personal feelings on that, Helena. Ophelia is indeed not the best choice for Zachariah, irrespective of her family, educational background and capabilities."

"But our family is already good enough, isn't it? I don't think we really need that sort of gifted and outstanding girl to add brilliance to our family."

"But if we want to expand our business abroad, we will have to find Zachariah a wife whose family is well matched with ours."

Complicatedly, Mrs. Chambers looked at Steffan and asked, "It sounds like you're considering our son as a tool to strengthen Chambers Group. I tell you: whether Zachariah is really going to divorce Ophelia or not, I will never allow Cora to ever step into our family. And if you insist on bringing her in, I will leave!"

Helplessly, Steffan held her tighter, "Relax, Helena. I'm not saying that Zachariah must marry Cora, since it's something to be decided by him. However, for one thing, Ophelia is destined to leave since our family may suffer losses caused by those photographs; for another, Corahas Zachariah's kid either, let alone that her family has long been in good relationship with ours."

Mrs. Chambers pushed him away and said, "It's still too early to say Zachariah is the father of the kid in Cora's tummy, and if you still insist to let Zachariah marry Cora, I will leave the family!"
