Every time Mrs. York and Mrs. Harrington crossed paths these days, sparks flew.

Just the sight of Mrs. York's self-righteous, smug expression made Mrs. Harrington's skin crawl.

Mrs. Harrington was visibly shaking; Serena was beside her, with tears streaming down her face in worry, while Alexander just felt his headache intensify.
