"It's all your fault, you old hag!" Thalia said, growing angrier by the moment. She walked slowly toward Beatrice, causing the elderly woman to retreat and grip the railing cautiously. "Fine, it's all my fault. I apologize. But you're still young, what's the point of arguing with an old hag like me? Why not give up on Lucas and find a man who truly loves you?" asked Beatrice.

Thalia smirked coldly, then swung her hand forcefully, landing a heavy blow on Beatrice's arm. Beatrice screamed and tumbled down the stairs.

"Ah!"

The whole thing happened so fast, and no one was around in the corner where the dispute occurred. Beatrice watched helplessly as she was pushed down. She let out a scream, unable to grasp onto anything as she tumbled down the stairs.

Thalia's hands trembled uncontrollably. "You brought this upon yourself, so don't blame me," she muttered.

Blood slowly oozed from Beatrice's head. She blinked her eyes, eventually losing consciousness.

Thalia glanced around, confirming that this was a blind spot in the surveillance, before hiding to the side. After a couple of minutes, someone finally discovered Beatrice lying there.

"Oh my goodness! What happened here?! Someone, please come quickly! Old Missus Rivera has fallen down the stairs!"

Upon hearing that Beatrice had fallen down the stairs, even the intoxicated guests downstairs sobered up considerably.
