A Warm Welcome
Harriet Jenkins welcomed her son, Paul, and his new wife, Lily, with open arms. Her charming Victorian home, filled with warmth and love, seemed like the ideal sanctuary for the young couple as they embarked on their new life together. Harriet had generously offered them a place to stay while they saved for a home of their own. But what Harriet didn’t realize was that her daughter-in-law had a different agenda—one that didn’t involve saving for a future house.

Meanwhile, Paul sat with his mother, sharing stories over steaming cups of tea, completely oblivious to the schemes brewing in Lily’s mind. Grateful beyond words, Paul couldn’t stop thanking his mother for her generosity. But neither mother nor son suspected that from the moment Harriet had offered them a place to stay, Lily had been quietly orchestrating a cunning plan.
