Chapter 3 - "Chance"

"So you spoke to mother already, I can't believe he would do something like this." said Edwin to Mary still in disbelief

"But this is our opportunity to take back the thing that should belong to us from the start." said Mary to Edwin with a smirk

"I knew you had a good plan behind all this, very clever, but I hope you really want to take care of my mother." replied Edwin with a smile

In the middle of the day, Clara, and Judith heard the news about Charles, and were shocked, they were both already happy because they could share the inheritance, but now there was a third person who was going to stay, Mary.

"Damn it, she's so smart, I hate her now, that sly woman." said Clara mad, while holding her folding fan

"Now we have to find another way, to push her away too." said Judith to Clara

"I heard that father and your husband will be returning from Y City one week again, have you heard that?" ask Clara to Judith

"Yes but only father, Edward still has to run the project alone, I think I might going to move there too, it's hard for me not seeing him for months, but I also need to stay here to keep some inheritance for us." replied Judith to Clara felt a bit sad looking through the windows

"It's alright you had me, now we just need to find a way to get rid of that Mary Lin." said Clara to Judith comfort her

On the other hand, Sharon helped Lina tidy up and arrange some of their belongings.

"It's fine, young lady, just let me do it." said Lina to Sharon trying to take the cloth away

"Did madam receive you warmly?" ask Lina to Sharon curious

"No, she even fainted, whether she is conscious now or not, I can't imagine it, I think now I bring bad luck for their family." said Sharon to Lina looking very disappointed

"I don't think it's your fault it just takes time for her to accept you, I understand that." said Lina to Sharon smiled

"You've never met master, right, he is the person who loves young master Charles the most." said Lina to Sharon suddenly

"Because among the young masters, only young master Charles understands his feelings the most, and also the most obedience." said Lina to Sharon with a smile

"I can't really believe Charles had such a difficult, yet a beautiful life." said Sharon to Lina with a smile

"I think master will be coming home a week more if I'm not mistaken." said Lina to Sharon

"When he comes back you can meet him, but I'm not so sure." said Lina then paused

“Not sure about what?" ask Sharon to Lina curios

"It's nothing." replied Lina to Sharon continue to do her job

In the evening, Charles took Sharon, and Lina back to the Zhang residence. At that time, Sharon had just stepped in, and suddenly a woman came and approached her.

"So you are the wife they are talking about, welcome to the family." said Mary suddenly approached Sharon smiled warmly

Clara and Judith who were standing there were shocked in disbelief, didn't know what she had planned.

"Sorry, you are...?" ask Sharon in a small lowered voice while trembling, grabbing tight her dress

"I am Mary Lin, your second sister-in-law." said Mary to her with a smile

"Oh, nice to meet you, I'm Sharon Gu." said Sharon to Mary replied with a smile

"She's clearly acting. It's a shame she didn't become a theater actress." whispered Clara to Judith observing from afar

After a few minutes arriving, the dinner it's starting, and they all sat at a long dinner table in the dining room, At that time, Sylvia, who had just come out of her room, wanted to go back into her room again because she saw Sharon.

"Mother, you haven't eaten since this morning, it would be better if you eat a few mouthfuls first." said Mary walked to Sylvia

"Thank you very much, but I can just eat in my room, you all eat by yourself." said Sylvia try to walk to her room

"Mother, if you don't start eating, how can we eat first?" said a guy dressed in a brown suit, Louis Zhang, the first son of Zhang family, Clara husband

"Grandma, come eat with us." said Grace to her grandmother smiling warmly

Sharon felt that she was not accepted in this family, and she immediately walked out of the dining hall. The servants who saw that stopped serving food. Mary saw that then followed Sharon along.

"Is this how you treat your child after not seeing them for 3 years?" said Charles then followed Sharon and Mary out from the dining room too

The dining room suddenly became quiet and was very tense, everyone sat down in silence, looking at the drama that happens.

"I feel like mother was a little too much towards Charles wife." said Edwin sitting on the chair looking at Sylvia

"I just wanted to eat a dinner, but it ended up being this messy, what is happening to you all." said Louis getting up then walked away

"Wait a minute, Louis, where are you going?" said Clara followed her husband behind

Sharon, who walked out, then cried near the fishpond in the front yard in all disappointment and sadness.
