Chapter 199 You Have Nowhere to Escape

• Caitlin wasn’t surprised that Madam Ruby would opt to do so. The Cooper Family was prosperous, and Madam Ruby was no fool. She would definitely approach the head of the house by making use of her advantageous position after knowing that the matriarch was sterile.
• She could’ve very likely risen to the position as the matriarch of the family had she managed to seduce the head of the family and make sure he was head over heels for him. While Caitlin never gave much credit to Madam Ruby, the series of events confirmed that Madam Ruby was in fact a cunning woman who had masks on, and she was willing to endure anything to achieve her goals.
• Old Mrs. Cooper went on after regaining her composure, "Your father was afraid that it might come as a blow to me, thus kept what happened a secret from me, but he began putting some distance between himself and Madam Ruby, as well as suggesting that I get another surrogate mother. I didn't know what happened back then, so I assumed that he was dissatisfied with my arrangement. I even accused him of having an affair and threw a tantrum. He was at his wit's end when he finally agreed to give the in vitro fertilization another go, but it ended up as another failure."
