She glanced at Bella but stayed silent.

Eloise turned to Bella and said, "You can leave us now."

Bella hesitated for a moment before obediently nodding and exiting the room.

Startled by the noise, Sylvia stood frozen for a few seconds before recovering her composure. "I'll handle it, I promise," she said, her voice steady.
