Just a moment ago, May Shelby had gone on a long tirade about all of Laura Lowell's shortcomings—how actresses are fickle, how she grew up in an orphanage, and how she would never be able to help Aiden with his career.
Naturally, Marian Miller couldn't stand to listen to it any longer. 'My daughter-in-law is the best,' she thought. 'How could I let someone else belittle her so brazenly?'
May Shelby gave a haughty smile. "I'm not sure if you've heard the saying, 'blood is thicker than water.' So what if you helped raise my child for me? It's still my blood that flows through his veins."
BANG! The door to the private room was thrown open from the outside, and Aiden Shaw walked in, his face dark.
"Ms. Shelby, you really think highly of yourself, don't you? If I had a choice, I would rather not have a single drop of your blood in me."
"And another thing—I only have one mom. You, on the other hand, are just a stranger I barely know. In fact, you're a complete nobody to me."
