In the car, Yvonne Whitlock kept checking her reflection in a compact mirror, touching up her makeup. "Do I stand out too much?" she asked.
Ray Morgan glanced in the rearview mirror and replied with a sigh, "Not at all, Madam. You're already being very low-key."
'What kind of future mother-in-law dresses this plainly to meet her daughter-in-law?'
His madam had just made a special trip to the mall to buy an outfit of ordinary-looking clothes and shoes. She'd even changed out of her expensive business suit right then and there, nearly giving the sales associate a heart attack.
Then, she'd dashed into a salon for a temporary perm and was now using makeup to make her skin look much darker. She was completely transformed. Even her own son probably wouldn't recognize her if he walked past.
Yvonne Whitlock was delighted to hear this. She began taking off her various pieces of jewelry, leaving on only the White Jade Bracelet passed down to the daughters-in-law of the Morgan family.
