Although Sharon recognized Jasmine, she merely stood by and watched Shelly make a fool of herself.

A hint of amusement flickered across her eyes. She resented Shelly for leeching off their family.

But Sharon couldn't do anything as well. The Barrett family hadn't split up, and Timothy was in charge of the family. Still, she couldn't let Shelly embarrass herself any further. The Barrett family's reputation would be tarnished if word got out.

She smoothly intervened, "Ms. Shelbert, Shelly rarely visits Nord City, so she isn't familiar with the people here. If she offended you, please kindly forgive her."
