Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable

Jason finds himself in a tense situation, grappling with the implications of a potential family feud. His instincts, shaped by years of navigating family politics, compel him to express his concerns about offending a family from another city. He questions the wisdom of their actions, fearing the consequences that could arise, particularly with the powerful Hutton family looming as a threat.

His cautious nature is at odds with Eloise's dismissive confidence, as she downplays his worries and emphasizes the Sterlings' dominance in the social hierarchy.

Her spirit remains unbroken as she confronts Jason and Eloise, questioning their intentions and the gravity of the situation. She challenges them, demanding to know the identity of the person she came to treat, indicating that her presence at Seraph Villa is crucial.
