NovelEnglish"But..." The maid tried to stop her, but Bea was already on her feet, heading for the door.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBack in Devonport, she was accustomed to carrying herself with an air of authority. The high society ladies and debutantes there treated her with great respect. Bea believed Sandy becoming Caelum's most cherished daughter was largely due to her influence, so she felt even more justified in her actions.
As Bea reached the bottom of the stairs, she saw Sandy standing in the center of the hall.
The butler stepped up, "Miss, she's really not here. You should go back to Mr. Odie's house. If Mr. Caelum finds out you're causing a scene, he'll be displeased." "Pfft! The whole world knows Daddy's throwing the welcparty today for that old hag. Why keep it a secret from me? Who does she think she is? She's past her prand still flaunting herself, coming here to seduce my Daddy!" Clearly, Sandy was fuming over the rumors she'd heard.
To avoid being noticed by the troublesheiress, Sophie stood in a less conspicuous corner. She'd rather watch the unfold than beca target.

Soon, Sandy noticed Bea and gave her a once-over, scoffing, "I thought you were saging beauty. Turns out you're not just past your prime. You're practically one foot in the grave." Faced with Sandy's rudeness, Bea was nearly driven to rage by the brash young girl.
Sophie almost laughed out loud; she hadn't expected Sandy to be so shockingly outspoken. Bea was highly respected in Devonport. Sandy was probably the first to dare speak to Bea like that. That's right, the more she says, the better! "Did your father ever teach you how to speak to your elders?" Bea tried to assert her seniority.
Sandy replied with even more disdain, "My Daddy always says, if you meet someone you don't like, there's no need to hold back! Besides, it's you who's shameless. Not content to stay in Devonport as a widow, you chere to find my Daddy. What, can't stand the loneliness? Looking for another fling?" Sandy's wilfulness was legendary, and since Caelum had her in his old age, he doted on her excessively. Sandy was like a queen in this foreign land, used to doing as she pleased, and no one dared criticize her.
w"You!" Bea's chest heaved with anger, almost making faint. She had never been so blatantly insulted in her life!
