"Caelum, have you spoiled Sandy so much that she's become totally uncontrollable?"

It wasn't until Sophie had left that Bea finally aired her grievances, albeit in a more roundabout way. A young girl was rude to her and actually hit her? That was a lifelong humiliation!

"Bea, I've definitely let Sandy get out of hand, and I truly apologize for what happened today," Caelum said soothingly. "Why don't you head back to the guest room and rest? I've already called for a doctor to check on your face."

Caelum's gentle words managed to calm Bea's anger, but the memory of Sandy's harsh words still stung. "You are an old friend. I only thought of coming to you, since I don't know many people here. I didn't expect Sandy to misunderstand... What must others think of me now?"

Caelum's casual reference to them as 'just old friends' left Bea feeling a bit bitter. If only she hadn't made that rash decision years ago to choose that cold workaholic Duncan. Maybe she could have been the lady of the Pollard family, a family no one dares to cross.

Though her current life wasn't bad, the thought of her unloving husband and rebellious grandson made Bea regret her choices.
