Leah felt a headache coming on. She had thought that Harper's foolishness would make her own beauty, grace, and intelligence stand out, but she was beginning to realize that Harper was just an empty-headed nuisance, someone who would eventually drive her mad if she kept her around.
Still… Harper could be useful in dealing with Ella!
Harper grumbled but didn't dare say anything more.
Leah took a sip of the thick, smooth porridge and spoke to Harper with concern, "Even though you made a mistake, it's understandable considering the unpleasant history between you and Ella. But if you really want to take her down, you need to find a good strategist. Don't act rashly again, and don't let her outshine you in appearance or behavior. I have a friend who teaches women's etiquette. You should take some lessons there when you have time."
