After a brief pause, she spoke with forced composure. "I meant well. Since Corrine is involved with Nate, it is only natural to consider her part of the family's future. I only wanted to ensure she understood her place and behaved appropriately. But instead of gratitude, all I received was her mockery and scorn. She humiliatedin front of everyone. I have never been so thoroughly shamed in my life." Evelyn's lips curved, the smile devoid of warmth. "Your so-called good intentions,” she said, her voice silken but cutting, "are nothing more than a mask for the malice you hide beneath." The color drained slightly from Andromache's face. "Mom... you..." Her voice faltered, disbelief etched across her features.
Evelyn's expression shifted in an instant, the warmth draining from her face, leaving behind a cold, cutting glare. Her eyes, sharp as shards of ice, locked onto Andromache. “I may be old, and my eyesight might not be what it once was, but do you think I cannot see through your pretenses?"

"Even if the Burgess family overstepped this time, was it not Corrine who provoked them first? At Leah and Bruce's engagement party, she deliberately exposed Leah's scandal in front of everyone, humiliating the Burgess family and turning them into a joke. Would they not retaliate with everything they had after being humiliated like that?” Her voice sharpened with barely concealed resentment. "Besides, their plot failed in the end. Why can she not just let it go?" "Shut your mouth!" Evelyn's furious shout cracked through the room like a whip. Without hesitation, she grabbed the porcelain cup beside her and hurled it to the floor near Andromache's feet. The cup shattered, shards flying as hot coffee splattered across the tiles. The suddenness of it made Andromache leap up from her seat, her heart lurching in her chest.

Evelyn's voice dripped with scorn, her eyes blazing with righteous fury. "Then tellthis—if they had succeeded, what would you have done? Would you have joined their celebration, toasting their victory? Do not think I am oblivious to your underhanded schemes!"
