Chapter 5 Sandra had grown up with Hendrix, so she was even more familiar with Freeman Manor than Noelle. As soon as she entered the house, she walked over to the elderly lady while exclaiming, "Grandma Ophelia!" "Oh, it's Sandy!" Hendrix's grandmother, Ophelia Jones, was overjoyed. "Let me take a look at you. Have you lost weight again?"

"Not really. Look! I made some crab cakes for you," Sandra replied.

"You sweet girl! How thoughtful of you," Ophelia praised.

The two of them chatted affectionately, and Ophelia was all smiles. However, the moment Noelle approached, her smile faded significantly.

Noelle acted as if she hadn't noticed anything and respectfully greeted, "Grandma."

Ophelia glanced at her and was about to say something, but Noelle shifted her attention to the top of the stairs and called out, "Mom."

"Madam Freeman," Sandra greeted, straightening up. She had been leaning on Ophelia's shoulder just a moment ago. She became timid the moment she saw the person at the top of the staircase.

"Hello, Sandra." Beatrice Robertson, Hendrix's mother, acknowledged her with a nod. Her attitude was somewhat distant but still polite, making it impossible to fault her.
