"Wow, this Aaron Judd is quite the character. He marries into the family only to keep a mistress in his own home. Who would have thought?"
"He seemed so good to Susan before. I really thought he was a decent man. Turns out he really knows how to play the field."
"What an animal."
The surrounding relatives pointed and whispered, their gazes toward Aaron Judd filled with disgust.
Aaron Judd heard the gossip and his whole body went stiff. He whipped his head around to look at Jade Holland.
With tears streaming down her face, Jade Holland looked at him. "Dad, we can't hide it anymore. Mom knows everything..."
Her words struck Aaron Judd like a bolt of lightning, making him stagger so violently he almost fell.
He struggled to force a smile. "Silly child, what nonsense are you spouting? There's nothing going on between us."
