"That Natalie Hartley really fell for it."
Dodo reported the news to Mommy at the first opportunity.
"What a scheming woman," Michael also crossed his arms, "It's just a pity her opponent is us."
"Natalie Wright might not really like Matilda Murphy either," Dodo sneered, "When all is said and done, it's just vanity at play."
Victoria's mommy nodded upon hearing this.
Who doesn't have vanity?
For instance, Victoria's mommy also likes it when others praise her high IQ.
But a little vanity is no sin. To harm others for one's vanity, that's a real sin.
Natalie Hartley was very interested in what action would be taken upon learning that Matilda Murphy was to have a secret meeting with high-ranking military officials.
They had originally thought she would use this information to blackmail Matilda Murphy, but to their surprise, she sacrificed her "best friend" to secure her own marital fate.
