Mrs. Zell was elated to hear these words, especially given that so many people around were now "congratulating" Mrs. Herd. She believed Mrs. Herd had only two choices.
Either to create a huge uproar, making it known to everyone, and disgrace the Herd family in front of the elites of Loch City, exposing the Herd family's scandal to all.
Or, to swallow her pride and feign jubilance. If she didn't want to create the biggest scandal in Loch City, if she didn't want her son to struggle in the future, she had to grit her teeth and swallow her pride.
It seems, she has decided to swallow it, good... Whichever path she chose, Mrs. Zell was pleased.
Because, either way, Mrs. Herd would suffer greatly.
Ghiovani Herd was indeed the most advantageous weapon against Mrs. Herd, she should have called him back sooner.
