"Oh, isn't this Sadie?" Isabel's voice dripped with sarcasm. "I didn't expect you to still be around after three years." "It's been a long time, Mrs. Wall," Sadie responded, keeping her voice even.
“Well?" Isabel sneered, eyeing Sadie contemptuously. “I thought you had disappeared. So, have you climbed another social ladder and decided it was safe to show your face again?" "Please show srespect, Mrs. Wall," Sadie countered, her own expression hardening. She was not the sperson who could be easily intimidated like she was three years ago.
Isabel laughed mockingly. "You were ousted from the Wall family. What right do you have to demand respect from me? If it hadn't been for Noah's momentary lapse, did you really think you would have married into the Wall family?" Sadie inhaled deeply, knowing arguing with Isabel was futile.
"Why the silence? Lost for words?" Isabel taunted. "What else can a woman like you do besides degrading yourself?" Kyla attempted to intervene, tugging at Isabel's sleeve and whispering, “Let it go.

Isabel hadn't expected Sadie to retaliate. She winced as her wrist throbbed with pain.
Flushing with fury, she demanded, “Let go of me!"
A sales assistant, caught in the unfolding , rushed forward to intervene. “Ladies, please, let's keep calm. This is a public place..." She found herself in a precarious position, caught between a member of the Wall family and the assertive Sadie, aware that she could not afford to offend either. The assistant faltered, unsure of how to proceed.
Sadie, refocusing on her original intent, moved past Isabel. She addressed the sales assistant, her tone easing slightly. "Excuse me, could you please bringthe orange Kelly? I called ahead about it." Relieved, the assistant quickly brought the handbag and handed it respectfully to Sadie.
Isabel seethed as she observed Sadie's composed manner. How could she stand being treated like co cekog this? Unable to accept the shift in their dynamics from three years ago, when Sadie was subservient to her, Isabel felt her anger intensify. "Wait a minute!"
