Indeed, Emma Smith did it on purpose.
After all, Isabelle Richardson could not contribute anything to the Richardson family. Her visit was supposed to improve relations with the Thompson family, she shouldn't let this one troublemaker mess it up.
"Sister, if you don't understand anything, it's better to keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, people might think our family has no manners," Isabelle said through gritted teeth.
Only then did everyone's gaze shift to Emma. When Samuel Richardson entered earlier, all eyes were on Isabelle, and they didn't notice that Samuel had brought someone else along.
Since Isabelle referred to her as 'sister', this must be Samuel Richardson's illegitimate daughter, Emma, right?
They had heard about Emma as well. The infamous Internet scandal involving Isabelle and Jake Smith had taken the city by storm, only to be eventually taken over by Samuel's illegitimate daughter.
Sympathy was surging in the room for Emma who had so clearly picked up the pieces.
