In Bayford City, at Harper Mansion.
Julia was sitting in the drawing room, watching the news on TV. The screen was displaying scenes from the perfume event and what had happened with Natalie.
James was also in the room, speaking with his assistant about something along with giving some important instructions.
"She's just like Caryn," Julia remarked, unable to hide her admiration. "The way she handled the situation—it's exactly like her mother. If Caryn were alive, she would have been proud of her daughter."
James was well aware of what his mother was watching. Despite his repeated warnings to her not to pay attention to anything related to Caryn, Julia never listened.
Once the assistant left, James turned his gaze to his mother, then to the TV screen, where Natalie was confidently mocking Faye with her bold words.
