Agatha resorted to both coercion and temptation, refusing to give up until she got what she wanted.

Charmaine couldn't help but wonder, Back when Agatha was on her deathbed, had she used the same tactics to force doctors into administering aggressive treatments just to prolong her life?

Agatha's face darkened.

She had said so much, yet Charmaine remained unmoved. Her initial approach of reasoning and pleading had failed, and in an instant, Agatha's mask of politeness fell away, revealing an obsessive, near-manic determination.
