Just as Jacqueline was about to slip away unnoticed, Eliza's cool, sharp gaze stopped her dead in her tracks. Jacqueline shrank back, suddenly timid, her head lowered, afraid to speak.

Eliza wasn't letting her off so easily, but her calm voice held a sharp undertone. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Has Miss Henderson suddenly become speechless? Can't even offer a reply?"

Jacqueline suddenly felt transported back to when Eliza visited their home,

defending Isabelle. Back then, a single look from Eliza made her feel suffocated, even without any spoken threats. That same suffocating feeling returned, leaving Jacqueline too afraid even to breathe.

Her face went rigid as she forced out a shaky smile. "Y-Yes, Lady Eliza, you're right." The words were barely out before she realized her mistake, her face paling as she stammered, "No! I mean-Your Grace! Yes, Your Grace is right!" She looked terrified that Eliza might lash at her for the incorrect title.

Eliza just gave her a cool, dismissive look. "You've certainly forgotten how to speak properly." Then, as if remembering something, Eliza raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you tell me earlier that I should apologize to your nanny? Are you still demanding that?"

Jacqueline's former confidence-building approval now meant nothing, the nanny trembled uncontrollably, her face ashen, and she looked lifeless.

"N-No! It's all that wretched servant's fault! She's the blind one! When I return home, she'll be punished severely!" Jacqueline said.

The nanny wouldn't dare defend herself, and even if it weren't her fault, she would have to accept the blame.

Following Jacqueline's example, the nanny fell to her knees, her forehead striking the floor with loud thuds as she begged," Yes, yes, it's all my fault! I understand my mistake now! Please, Your Grace, have mercy!"
