Silence. Every eye in the room was on her. Then Harry and I burst out laughing.

“The only baby you’re responsible enough to care for,” I said with a smirk.

Candice’s hands trembled as she stared at the toy, her whole body shaking.

That’s when I turned to Grace—my husband’s grandmother—and told her everything.

Her face darkened. She pushed herself up from her chair, pointing a trembling finger at Candice and Charlotte, my mother-in-law.

“You’re just like your mother, Candice!” she snapped. “I warned my son not to marry you, Charlotte, but he didn’t listen—and this is the result!” Her voice shook with fury. “I’m cutting you both out of my will!”

The room went dead silent. Everyone knew Grace’s estate was worth a fortune. Candice and Charlotte just stood there, stunned.

Grace raised a hand. “That’s enough. We’re leaving. I want to spend time with my real great-grandchildren.” She turned to my husband and me. “Come on.”

Harry and I didn’t think twice. We got up, fingers intertwined, and walked out. Behind us, Candice broke down in sobs.

Charlotte screamed in anger. But we didn’t look back. They got exactly what was coming to them.
