It would seem that the prediction that Madam Val made was right at the money. Lady Gladys was upset. It seemed that she had taken all her might to not appear right in front of Elle's room yesterday or the day before when she had found out how her precious daughter, Carol, had been slapped by her own father because of her.
Elle felt somehow stung thinking that while Carol has her mother to protect her, she only had herself to rely on.
"Let go of my hands!" Lady Gladys yelled and tugged her hand away from Elle's hold.
Not wanting to start a physical fight, Elle released Lady Gladys' hand, seeing some maids behind Lady Gladys glaring at her openly as if she had offended them.
