On the other hand, Holland would never publicly tell his son what his daughter–in–law had done, so he lowered his head and concentrated on his food.

Marie heaved a sigh after seeing that and did not say anything either.

In the meantime, Caroline glanced at Britney before looking at Holland and Marie as she kept quiet and continued to drink her juice. However, the elderly couple was surprised by her reaction.
