Chapter 183 The Self-Deluded Claire

• It didn't matter how others acted, as long as Mr. Carter and Ethan continued to stand by her.
• Noticing Amelia's expression soften, Mr. Carter leaned in and continued, "She ought to take a good look in the mirror! Hmph, she's not as pretty as you, her skin isn't as good, and her medical skills don't even compare to yours. There's nothing she excels at over you, so where does her confidence come from? Offering me antiques? Ha! Do I, a lover of antiques, not have the means to buy my own? Does she think I need her to give me something? Even if she gave me a mountain of gold and silver, it would mean nothing to me. I wouldn't give her a second glance. Peacocks like her just strut about, full of their own importance! Mia, don't worry, our family values our promises. Since you and Ethan are engaged, nothing will change that. You're the only granddaughter-in-law I recognize, and if Ethan ever dares betray you, I'll break his legs!"
• A warm wave of emotion surged through Amelia as she replied, touched, "Mr. Carter, you're the best."
