Truth be told, Mabel Cooper rarely feuds with anyone and maintains a good public reputation. Coupled with her significant background, most people don't wish to offend her without reason, which presents her somewhat detached and carefree demeanor. Besides, she has lived alone for many years and is beyond reproach in her personal life.
Thus, presumably, only Yves King who has suffered from her would know what kind of heart is hiding under her dignified yet slightly intimidating exterior?
What makes King even more uneasy is, what kind of hidden agenda does Cooper have in interacting so enthusiastically with Faye Owen? It makes King start to consider, should he find an excuse to bring Faye back?
Whenever he sees them chatting happily, King gets uneasy, deeply fearing that Cooper might let something slip in front of Faye. In that case, things might become difficult to wind down.
