“I’ve been saying it all along, Joanna is a walking curse. Anyone who gets entangled with her is bound to be unlucky, Ingrid continued her complaints.

Bruce was already overwhelmed with turmoil. Ingrid’s words only added fuel to his frustration, pushing him closer to his breaking point.

“If there’s nothing else, you all can go back now!”

Unable to contain himself, Shaun burst out, “How can we just leave it at that? She’s your mother. We are close, aren’t we? Who can possibly remain calm in the face of such a colossal mess?

“Got it!”

“Roxy, you’re pregnant now! Take care of yourself, don’t overexert!”

“Yes, yes, I understand!”
