"Jane, about Julie Sampton's engagement, your grandparents owe you an apology. We knew she was so cruel, knew how she treated you, yet we still asked you to bring James Black to support her. We didn't consider your feelings. For this, your grandpa and I truly want to say sorry to you." Granny Sampton gently stroked Jane's hair. "That day, you must have been utterly disappointed in us, right? Grandpa and I always said we loved you, but we still favored Julie."
That day, the elderly couple prioritized the bigger picture. What they thought was that marriage was a major life event, and if James Black could lend his support, the Smith Family would surely hold Julie Sampson, the daughter-in-law, in higher regard.
So, despite knowing Jane would be upset, they still asked her to speak up and bring James Black along.
In their minds, this was a critical milestone in Julie's life. If it could be perfect, all the better.
Thus, Jane was made to endure the discomfort.
