Ella smiled lightly, her gaze holding a touch of icy sarcasm. "Why wouldn't you be allowed? This is Ms. Fox's birthday party. As long as you're her guest, you're welcome to have some cake. Have you forgotten so much in those three years of being unwell?"
Hannah shrank back, her expression shifting to one of near-tears. "Sister…"
Ella pressed her lips together. "Hannah, after all those years away, you should visit Auntie soon."
Hannah paused, startled. "You mean my mother?"
"Yes."
"I'll go see her tomorrow," Hannah replied softly, a fleeting glint of resentment passing through her eyes before disappearing.
Ella said nothing more, and Logan scoffed, looking as though he'd lash out if not for Eric's approach.
Hannah's bodyguards and maids trailed her protectively, as if they feared Ella might harm her.
