Every step she took inside deepened the sense of suffocation for Alma Ferreira and Sophie Scott.
It's her again!
After being away for so long, she picked this moment to return. Could it be that she heard Henry Chapman was coming?
Alma and Sophie exchanged a glance, both looking displeased.
"Is it, Nora Scott?"
Catching sight of the figure, Mrs. Chapman was momentarily amazed and asked a question from the side.
"Yes. She's usually not at home..." Pausing, Alma collected her emotions and maintained a graceful smile, "Pardon her, she's got a bit of a temper... I hope you can forgive her."
Mrs. Chapman smiled without saying a word.
She'd heard some rumors—the Scott family's newly returned young lady, known for her fiery temper, assertive personality, arrogance, and disrespect for elders...
In short, all the descriptions were negative, except for compliments like "beauty like a Heavenly Immortal."
