Granny Reed was trying to show Joy's good side to others, backing her up, and comforting her after Ariella's disdain.
Joy entered the hall arm in arm with Granny Reed. Wow, there were rows of servants in the hall. Some were holding slippers, some were serving tea, some were helping Joy take off her coat, and others were helping her with her handbag...
Joy was also from a large family, but their family rules were strict. They believed in doing their own things and would never let so many people take care of you at once.
Despite being a strong woman and a rich lady, Joy had never enjoyed such princess-like treatment before, otherwise she wouldn't have been cooking for herself for over a decade.
Someone bent over to help her put on her slippers, she wanted to say it wasn't necessary, there was no need to go to such lengths!
