Ella Lacey stood frozen in place--
What did she just say? Arthur was hers?
In her dreams!

However, after Ella had cooled down and walked to the paper-covered window, she looked out to see Arthur Lindsey and Juliette intimately leaning against each other, in hushed conversation in front of the thatched cottage in the courtyard like they were conspiring something!
This scene profoundly disturbed her.
So, it was Juliette whom Arthur actually fancied !

They've hooked up so quickly!
Frauds, they are all frauds!
Juliette deceived her, faked a tragic background, and won her sympathy and trust.
Arthur tricked her, feigning concern on the surface but scornful inside.
Ella choked with anger, it felt like a thorn was stuck in her throat, hurting so much that even breathing became difficult, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
