Kay watched Mrs. Hanson stay silent for a little too long and pressed her, "Mrs. Hanson, just say whatever's on your mind. Mr. Rupert and Tristan are here— they'll have your back."

Mrs. Hanson pursed her lips, hesitated for a few seconds, then shook her head firmly.

"No, Sylvia never agreed to anything. It was Yves who set his sights on her and tried to force her into marriage."

"Mrs. Hanson! What the hell are you talking about?" Kay snapped, her eyes cold and sharp as she marched forward.

But Sylvia calmly raised a hand, stopping Kay in her tracks. "Ms. Winslet, that's Mrs. Hanson's own admission. How is that nonsense? Does the truth only count if I'm the one throwing myself at Yves? What's your motive here?"

She looked at Kay, whose face was flushed with anger, veins standing out on her forehead, but she had no comeback.

Mrs. Hanson sure as hell wasn't going to defend Kay.
