Aurora Richardson's face turned awful in an instant. She had expected that her grandfather would get angry if he knew that she and Joseph Thompson had cancelled their engagement privately, but she hadn't expected him to be so furious.
"Now, when Joseph Thompson has caused such a scandal, it's the perfect time for you to show your unwavering loyalty and commitment. It's the opportunity to make the Thompson family be wary of our Richardson family. It's the opportunity for everyone to praise you and claim that our Richardson family has excellent upbringing..."
Aurora, hearing her grandfather's insistence on capitalizing on this situation, was instantly perplexed. What she had done that afternoon completely contradicted Grandfather Richardson's advice.
"And you? What did you do?" Grandfather Richardson angrily questioned: "You missed such a great opportunity. Where's your usual shrewdness?"
