Back at South Hill Villa.
Old Madame Sheldon first looked for Madam Moreland, then for Amelia Clarke. Madam Moreland evaded the topic, while Amelia Clarke remained silent. Neither showed an inclination to forgive Victoria Sheldon.
Old Madame Sheldon knew this matter probably wouldn't end peacefully and didn't blame Amelia Clarke for disregarding family ties. She only blamed her own daughter for being so thoughtless.
People in their fifties yet behaving more immaturely than the young.
Before sleeping, the old woman made a call to Victoria Sheldon, saying only, "Take care of yourself," before hanging up.
Victoria received the call, feeling somewhat vexed, and slammed her phone onto the nightstand. Turning to David Abel, she said, "Take care of myself? What can they do to me? It wasn't on purpose that Sophia Wilson fell, wasn't Years By Years returned safely? Are they going to call the police and arrest me? Ha, the Morelands have just that much ability!"
