Shirley Thorne had no idea that Miss Katherine's mind had already spiraled into a black hole.
If she had known, she would have meticulously clarified that this was truly just a scheme targeting Yvette Grant and nothing more.

「For that, we have to turn back the clock a few minutes.」
The moment Shirley Thorne saw Yvette Grant, while the two were still having a staring contest, Ethan Grant had already reacted, discreetly typing out a message to her from his pocket.
"Keep Yvette Grant here."
Ethan Grant didn't intend to let a single person who'd had close contact with the mastermind slip through his fingers.
He was certain that Yvette Grant's appearance here was no coincidence.
Ever since being forced to call her "Godmother" last time, Yvette Grant hadn't dared to come anywhere near Shirley Thorne for a long while.
