Missus Everly cast a cold glance at Cece and remarked disdainfully, “Ill-mannered wench, who gave you the right to speak here? Birds of a feather, indeed! People of a certain kind always gravitate toward their kind.”

Cece had never encountered someone so unreasonable before, and she flushed in rage. She was about to confront Missus Everly when Vicky restrained her.

Vicky gazed calmly at Missus Everly. “The upbringing of people who constantly call others ‘ill-mannered’ is hardly exemplary. Missus Hart was right. People who don’t have a mother won’t know a thing about manners, but having a mother devoid of refinement can hardly raise a good daughter either.”

The expressions of the three women immediately darkened.

Valencia sarcastically chimed in, “I heard Ms. Shaw has lost her memory. It seems deceiving men is another skill in her arsenal.”

Missus Everly laughed coldly. “Aria, you should learn a thing or two from her. When it’s time for a woman to feign vulnerability, she must learn to do so. Otherwise, how else can she capture a man’s heart?”

Vicky glanced at Valencia and said, “Missus Hart, just because I figured who you are, doesn’t mean I’m faking my amnesia. Sometimes, it’s best to use not just your eyes, but your brain as well to look at matters.”

“Outrageous!” Valencia grew furious. She could not help but notice Vicky’s subtle mockery, implying that she lacked intelligence. “Who do you think you are to lecture me?!” she retorted.
