Surprise Or Shock

Selma Payne's POV:

He was an important minister helping my father and had worked hard for the werewolves for many years, so I never cared about this little bit of silent pride.

But what was the Evalia Family? They were just a bunch of rich kids who sit back and enjoy their ancestors' achievements. Usually, I didn't have to worry about them. Previously, they tried to meddle in the Spring Rain Pack's industry, but because of the Earl of Marlowe and Emma, I let them go. I'd use Emma to knock some sense into them.

But this group of people didn't know how to read the situation. Did they think that my concession was equivalent to being afraid of them?
