The Cherished Wife

Winter stumbled several steps backward as Janet shoved her away. Thankfully, Suzy, who was there with her, reached out and steadied her. Suzy leaned toward Winter and asked, "Are you alright?"

"You're the young lady. Your entire family are young ladies." Janet's impression of Winter was not a favorable one, and she immediately shot back at Winter upon hearing what she said without attempting to save her any grace at all. Then, she turned to Charles and said, "Charles, who on earth is this woman? Why is she addressing you as her uncle? We grew up together, but why haven't I ever seen this woman?"

Janet refused to back down, and a fire seemed to roar in her eyes as she said, "Don't think you're all that just because you're well-dressed. Since everyone in the Hoffman family and the employees of Collosus Group are here now, we'll have to set things straight. Otherwise, there might be some people who will spread rumors in public.
