Neither of the couple are fools. When the wife said this, Edward Evans immediately understood what his wife meant.
Edward hesitated, "Given what's happened, wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to go to the in-laws'?"
"Just say my mom is sick." Lucy Briggs found an excuse.
Seeing her husband still hesitating, Lucy said, "It's not that I don't want to help. You saw it just now, Sister-in-law's attitude was as if the two of us bullied Ivy.
Let me tell you, if we keep getting involved, Sister-in-law will definitely hate us to death in the future."
"..."
"You know, Sister-in-law has always liked to compete with me. With something like this happening to Ivy, Sister-in-law must feel humiliated, and us hanging around in front of her will only make it worse."
Edward thought for a moment, felt his wife's words made sense, and agreed, "Alright, we will leave at first light."
