"Auntie, you..."
Grace Gresia, having been chastised by Adam Jones and now by the Old Lady, twisted her features in indignation.
The Old Lady had no intention of paying her any mind; she did not wish to escalate matters at her own great-grandson's first birthday celebration, so she simply stood up and said:
"If you don't want to be thrown out of the Jones Family's home, then just behave yourselves..."
With that, she shifted her gaze toward Charles Churchill and continued:
"If you cannot control this disgraceful woman, then you'd better take her home now."
"Auntie..."
"Charles Churchill, I let you call me auntie, and I let you stand with dignity on the Jones Family's grounds, out of respect for my deceased brother, not because of you. Understand?"
The Old Lady's expression turned fierce, a sharpness in her eyes somewhat reminiscent of Adam Jones's, startling Charles Churchill into silence.
