Madam White, her voice having turned noticeably colder at this point, said, "Frank's banquet did not include an invitation for Annie, yet she brought someone along. Moreover, they had no prior friendship, but acted like close sisters that night."
"All this was nothing more than part of their devious scheme."
"I was foolish, falling right into their trap. If it wasn't for Frank's cleverness, they would have successfully pulled it off."
Madam White's face slightly turned pale the more she spoke.
At that time, the villains achieved their plot, and her own daughter could never recognize her for a lifetime.
It was simply outrageous!
She looked up at Joanna Lawrence, her eyes once again filled with affection and tenderness, "Thankfully, their plot did not succeed. Joanna, could I ask you for a favor?"
Having heard what Madam White said, Joanna Lawrence was stunned for a long moment.
That night, when she saw Rebecca Kelloway and Annie Lawrence appear together, she found it strange.
