Shirley Thorne had many questions about Julian Grant for her mogul husband, so the particular elder standing before her was a real eyesore.
But simply letting her off with a breezy "You can go" wasn't her style.
Anyone who offended her had to pay a steep price; they weren't getting away without losing a layer of skin, or at least a chunk of flesh. How could she possibly let this one off so easily?
With that thought, she gave Yvette Grant a honey-sweet smile.
Yvette Grant was struck by a sudden chill. She abruptly recalled that Shirley Thorne had worn the exact same smile right before she'd tricked Leo Graham into ending up with Josephine Grant.
She had a very bad feeling about this.
'Please don't let this feeling come true!'
'Relax,' Shirley thought. 'No matter how bad your premonition is, I'm here to help it come true.'
She began to speak, her voice slow and feigning apology. "Auntie, I misunderstood you. It turns out this really was just a coincidence!"
