Amelia Clarke's light and airy words, "judge others by oneself," returned all the extemporized charges Owen had cast upon her right back at him.
Ava Moreland's face took on an ugly turn, and she sneered coldly, "I never expected Miss Carter, who appears soft and frail, to have such a sharp tongue!"
Amelia responded with a smile, "Auntie flatters me."
"You..." Ava, having been pampered all her life and never spoken to in such a manner, especially in recent years as she climbed the ranks in the political field and was always treated with flattery and deference, found Amelia's audacity in her presence unbearable!
Furthermore, as Amelia was the daughter of James Carter and his former wife, Ava found her even more unbearable.
Ava's look towards Amelia was filled with malice.
"Auntie," Owen narrowed his eyes slightly, his look towards Ava indifferently tinged with a warning, "Auntie, Amelia is my person."
Despite the seemingly casual remark, its deterrent power was immensely strong.
