Joan Lawson let out a bitter laugh on the other end of the phone, almost choking on the water she had just drunk.
After catching her breath for a moment, she said, "Don't worry, he is your son, and will always be, no one can take him away."
"As long as you know," Kenneth Osborne's mother sighed with relief and chuckled, "We are sisters after all, and you wouldn't want your current husband to find out about those things of yours, would you?"
Joan Lawson's face darkened slightly, but she didn't lose her temper and shifted the topic indifferently, "Alright, since you put it that way, I won't meddle. By the way, when exactly is the wedding? I'll transfer the money to him first. I might not be free at that time."
Kenneth's mother initially wanted Joan Lawson to attend Kenneth Osborne's wedding, but suddenly she didn't want that, so she replied perfunctorily, "Okay, you can transfer it to me first, and I'll pass it on to Kenneth."
