Chapter 186 Husband’s Mother

Kelly rolled her eyes. “I’m just telling the truth. Why should I shut up? Besides, this is a private studio, and outsiders aren’t allowed to visit. Please leave immediately!”
She couldn’t believe someone would dare criticize their studio.
“An outsider? I’m her future husband’s mother. Aren’t I allowed to take a look around?”
Millie’s explosive revelation of her identity made everyone gasp. She was Timothy’s mother!
The infamous socialite they’d heard so much about?
Kelly, in particular, was stunned when she realized the identity of this high–society woman.
Her face turned an ugly shade of purple. How could she have known this elite socialite barging in was Timothy’s mother!
“Mrs. Clark, I had no idea who you were,” Kelly stammered, trying to backpedal. “I apologize for my rudeness. Please forgive someone as insignificant as myself.”
After all, Millie was among the city’s most influential socialites,
She was the type who could drop thousands at luxury boutiques without batting an eye.

If their modest studio offended someone of her status, they’d never make it in the fashion industry, mainly because their brand focused on luxury custom pieces.

Millie let out a contemptuous snort. “Jennifer, if this is the caliber of people at your studio, what future could it possibly have? I can’t understand why you’d waste your time here.”
Kelly could only hang her head in silence, swallowing the insult.
If Millie started badmouthing their brand in her elite social circles, they could kiss their high–end clientele goodbye.
And if Vivian found out about this incident, Kelly would be absolutely finished.
Jennifer paused before responding, “A few bad apples don’t represent everyone. They’re all working hard.”
“Working hard your whole life just to make clothes for others? As Timothy’s future wife and the future Mrs. Clark, you have many more important things to focus on. Don’t waste your time on this nonsense.”
Millie couldn’t understand why Jennifer would bother with such pointless endeavors.
“Look at the mess you’ve created!” Millie snapped. “Now people are mocking my son!”
Jennifer took a deep breath. “I acknowledge my oversight. I’ll

“And what’s the deal between you and that male singer? Going to award ceremonies together?”
Jennifer answered honestly, “I wrote the song that won him the
award.”
“Well, well, a songwriter too? You’re quite the jack of all trades. While I don’t oppose you having hobbies, this isn’t what you should be focusing on right now!”
Jennifer was at a loss for words.
After all, her engagement to Timothy was merely a marriage of convenience.
Once she graduated, their arrangement would be over for good.
She couldn’t afford to lose her livelihood. What was she supposed to do in the future, beg on the streets?
But she couldn’t reveal the truth to Millic either, so she remained silent.
Millie spoke with an authoritative tone. “You’re going to tell your studio boss today that you’re quitting.”
Quit?
Jennifer knew this moment was inevitable.

She stammered. “My professor runs this studio. I’m not just working there. It’s part of my coursework.”

“Is that so? Well, you should minimize your time at that studio from now on. After class, you need to stay home and focus on taking care of your son. That’s what you should be doing. It’s the duty of Mrs. Clark.”
Jennifer lowered her gaze. “I understand.”
Only after seeing Jennifer’s submissive response did Millie put on her sunglasses.
“Jennifer, I came here today just to warn you. I hope nothing
to the Clark family and
like this happens again to bring shame. I hope nothing
drag down my son. Next time, I won’t be so lenient.”
With that, Millie strutted away in her high heels with an air of superiority.
Jennifer still went outside to escort Millie to her car.
Millie’s tone softened when she saw how docile Jennifer
appeared. “Don’t think I’m being harsh by not defending you in front of my colleagues. You were the one who brought shame to the Clark family first.
“Do you have any idea how those women mock me at our social gatherings? For years, they’ve been laughing behind our backs because of Timothy’s leg. I just don’t want him to be ridiculed anymore. Can you understand a mother’s feelings?”

Jennifer nodded. “I know this situation was entirely my fault.”
“When you marry into the Clark family, you’ll be well taken care of financially, especially if you give my son a baby sooner rather than later. The wealth you’ll receive will be more than
you could earn in a lifetime of work. That’s why I hope you’ll focus on my son instead of your career. After all, this was the whole point of the engagement between the Clark and Hargreaves families.”
Jennifer responded with a calm expression, “I understand.”
But deep down, she was more convinced than ever that she would never be Timothy’s caged bird.
