Looking at Mrs. Young's face frozen on the spot, Scarlett Glenn shrugged her shoulders and turned to leave.
Perhaps Mrs. Young simply didn't know that she and Anthony Davis were niece and uncle. If that was the case, then really, it wasn't such a big deal.
Still, being mistaken for a woman trying to climb the social ladder by attaching herself to a powerful man was indeed a bit uncomfortable.
But it didn't matter, it wasn't as if she hadn't been thought of this way before.
Mrs. Young felt a bit panicky and quickly explained, "Sorry, Scarlett, I thought... I really am sorry, I thought too much, I meant... Lance, he's an upright person, he's never had any blemishes on his record, he couldn't possibly tarnish his reputation now... But I truly didn't consider that you.... could be... his niece. After all, Aya died that year, we... all saw it, I never thought of it from that angle, Auntie apologizes to you."
