"Henry, how could I think so? Ruby is also your daughter, and you shouldn't be partial to Irish. She is a shrewd woman, and her actions made Ruby pass out."
"Auntie, I think Irish is a good woman, and you shouldn't say things like that." Lilith felt guilty about it but couldn't help contradicting her.
Henry pointed at Lilith while his eyes gazed at Shirley. "Do you see that? Even Lilith is more sensible than you. How can you accuse my daughter?"
Shirley sobbed but didn't say anything.
"Don't interrupt us. Go back to your room," said Kelly, after keeping silent for most of the conversation.
Lilith rushed upstairs angrily. Then Kelly leisurely began to take a sip of the tea.
