The Shillingford family’s daughter–in–law had to meet the Shillingford family’s standards.
She sneakily glanced at Quinn, only to see him frowning and looking in this direction.
At this gathering of elders, he didn’t have much to say.
Andrea took a deep breath, telling herself silently.
This was just the beginning, from then on in the Shillingford family’s days, it was probably going to be a rollercoaster.
In the moment of concentration, Kaylen spoke again.
“You haven’t been busy lately, right? Why not just stay at the old house and keep this old bones company.“?
Cecelia immediately jumped in, didn’t even give Andrea a chance to
answer.
“The little girls nowadays can’t stand this boredom. They have coffee and milk tea in their hands every day, and they are more diligent in using their phones than anyone else.”
She glanced at Andrea, her words sharp.
“Andrea is so capable, she must be thinking about her gallery business.”
Andrea was sweating in her palms, trying to think of an excuse to refuse without upsetting Kaylen.

Alissa suddenly plucked up the courage and spoke.
“Mom, Andrea had just arrived…”
“Just arrived and already need to learn the rules.”
Kaylen slammed the teacup down.
“I asked her to stay, just trying to help her. Otherwise, when Quinn goes out for socializing in the future, she can’t even handle this little situation?”
Alissa turned pale, shrunk back, and fell silent.
Andrea was feeling awkward, then Kaylen suddenly changed the subject.
“Oh, when is Quinn planning to bring back his brother who is abroad?”
When this was said, the whole room went silent.
Andrea was dumbfounded.
Did the Shillingford family already know about the illegitimate child?
Kaylen continued, …
“What’s the big deal about the Shillingford family members being scattered all over the place? It would be nice to bring them back one day for a family reunion, the more the merrier.”
Alissa looked a bit tired.
“Mom, I need to talk to Quinn about this…”
“What’s there to discuss? Can’t even make a decision on such a small
matter as a mother?”

Kaylen squinted slightly.
“Was it that you refused?”
Alissa panicked and quickly explained in a gentle tone.
“How could…”
Kaylen interrupted with a cold snort, glaring at Alissa.
“Since you are the main wife, you should act like one. When I got married back then, I had to take care of my in–laws and manage a big family, but I didn’t act as timid as you do.”
She paused, her tone becoming more unfriendly.
“What’s wrong with being a bastard? As long as it’s the Shillingford family blood, you have to acknowledge your roots. There’s no room for tolerance in this, how can I be a wife of the Shillingford family?”
Cecelia immediately chimed in, pretending to hold Alissa’s hand.
“Mom is right! As elders, we should set a good example for the younger generation.”
“Think about it, back in the day, didn’t mom also treat the distant relatives‘ kids as her own flesh and blood?”
She shook her head and sighed, “Don’t be like those young people, too narrow–minded, always taking things to heart.”
Alissa looked pale.
“Mom, I didn’t mean it like that…”
“Okay, stop explaining!” Kaylen impatiently waved her hand.
“Quinn’s matter, you arrange it as soon as possible, and Andrea, since

she’s going to marry into the Shillingford family, she needs to learn the rules well.”
Alissa bit her lip, hesitated for a while, and finally said.
“I’ll take care of it.”
Andrea was so tense, and Kaylen was so loving towards Quinn, but she completely disregarded his feelings and insisted on bringing the illegitimate child back.
