The old lady continued, "Ever since their adoption, Starry had been jealous of my daughter- in-law's beauty. She resorted to all ways to destroy my son and his wife's marriage. She would injure herself and put the blame on my daughter-in-law. Her acting was out of this world! And my son believed her and they got into a fight!"
"Mom... please stop!" He wallowed in self-pity while hiding his face behind his hands. "It's all my fault... I let her down."
"My daughter-in- law eventually threatened to put herself in harm's way after all the slander," the old lady choked out.
The man bawled his eyes out. "Susan..."
"After that, Starry admitted to all the slandering acts to watch my son breakdown in horror! How could someone be so heartless! She was a nightmare!"
