Frank Parker returns home amidst whispers about his involvement with a married actress, creating tension with his mother, Lady Parker. Their relationship had recently improved, but this new scandal threatens to reignite their conflict.

"I couldn’t care less about whatever women you might be involved with elsewhere, but how could you possibly get involved with a married woman? I can see clearly that Joanna is not a good person; she's married, yet still not content, and even dared to provoke an unmarried man like you."

"Is her husband so incompetent that he cannot satisfy her needs, leading her to possess the audacity to seduce other men? I recall hearing that before she rejoined the White family, she came from a humble, ordinary background. It's no wonder these women who grew up in less privileged circumstances lack proper discipline and have no grasp of integrity or moral principles!"

Madam White harbored a profound prejudice against Joanna.

This bias ran even deeper than the one she held for Rebecca Kelloway.

Although she had previously voiced her displeasure about Rebecca delaying Frank Parker’s marriage, her overall impression of Rebecca wasn't particularly favorable.

However, she didn't quite loathe Rebecca.

After all, from Lady Parker's perspective, Rebecca's qualifications and family background were once considered a suitable match for her son, Frank. Had Rebecca married into the Parker family and become her daughter-in-law, she would have been content.

Furthermore, Rebecca was still unmarried.

The persistent rumors linking Joanna, a married woman, to her son greatly displeased Lady Parker.

Compounding this, Frank had previously argued with her regarding Joanna, creating a rift in their mother-son relationship.

This incident amplified Lady Parker's animosity towards Joanna.

In her eyes, Joanna was nothing more than a shameless and flirtatious woman.

Despite being married, she was actively seducing her son.

This behavior not only tarnished her son’s reputation.

But also made the Parker family a subject of ridicule among others.

Recalling the phone conversation her best friend had initiated today, Lady Parker was overcome with fury.

Her best friend had a daughter who was the same age as Frank, and their families had previously considered a marriage alliance, even arranging a blind date for them.

Frank had indeed attended the blind date.

However, upon his arrival, he departed within a mere five minutes.

Before leaving, he uttered some rather unpleasant remarks.

Her best friend felt that her daughter had been unfairly treated, and this incident strained their friendship.

From Lady Parker’s viewpoint, the call was a deliberate taunt and mockery from her best friend.

The implication was that her son disdained numerous excellent, unmarried women.

Yet, he insisted on being entangled with a married woman.

Unable to tolerate such perceived insult, Lady Parker immediately summoned Frank back.

She directed all her pent-up anger towards Joanna, naturally resorting to harsh and unpleasant words.

However, the moment Madam White concluded her tirade, she observed her son, whose face had remained impassive until then, suddenly contort into a grimace, his expression turning incredibly gloomy in an instant.

The ambient temperature in the room seemed to plummet drastically in sync with his shifting demeanor.

Even though the individual standing before her was her own son.

At this precise moment, gazing upon Frank’s chilling and somber visage, Lady Parker felt a twinge of fear.

"Mom, Joanna is not the type of woman you're describing, and there is absolutely nothing inappropriate between us. Furthermore, it is always I who pursue her, not the other way around. On the contrary, she actively avoids me, keeps her distance, and has no desire for any contact with me."

"The shameless individual is, in fact, your son."

"The one lacking integrity and moral principles is also your son."

"If we are to discuss poor upbringing, then it is the Parker family's upbringing that is lacking. It is your failure as a mother that has led me, your own son, to become such a disgraceful person who disregards integrity and moral principles."
