"Yes. You were supposed to be dead!" Holly shouted from the doorway.

Julien and Thea spontaneously turned their heads to the source of the voice. Both of them widened in shock when they heard the screams voiced by people they had never expected.

Holly approached, standing right in front of Thea. "You're supposed to be dead," Holly insisted, repeating her line with emphasis on every word she said.

Unexpectedly, Holly slapped Thea on the cheek before Julien could stop her and keep her away from his niece.

"Holly, honey? What are you doing?" Julien asked, having managed to keep Holly away from Thea.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you acting like that to me? What did I do wrong?" Thea gave Holly a flurry of questions as she got up from her seat and tried to get closer.

Julien spread his arms, preventing the two women from approaching each other and attacking with sharp words or even physical force.
