Deborah didn't stop Lily from calling Margaret. Once the call was answered, Lily told Margaret in detail what had happened that night, "Aunt Margaret, how can Irene be so mean? She said that as long as Dad helps Edric, she would report him to the authority. Even Dad has to listen to her now. She's stirring things up!"
Upon hearing that, Margaret fumed with rage. "D*mn Irene! She's getting back at Edric! How can she be so cruel?" In complaining about Irene, she did not realize how cruel she had been in the first place.
"Yeah, Mom and I were pleading with her, but she never let up… She even cursed us with nasty words!"
