After just a moment of awkwardness, Alice Quinn quickly snapped back to reality: "No, perhaps Miss Shaw saw it wrong, I've never met Miss Shaw, so how could I have any issues with her."
Since the other party didn't say anything, Thea Shaw naturally wouldn't press further.
Leon Vaughn glanced at Alice Quinn, then at Thea Shaw, not asking more questions.
Leon Vaughn seemed a bit sentimental, as if this matter had brought him a sense of closeness with Alice Quinn, and he talked extensively about her past, with an unmistakable admiration in his words.
Alice Quinn had likely heard similar words quite often, her expression remained natural, without any noticeable fluctuations.
Only occasionally, when Thea Shaw casually inserted a few words, Alice Quinn's demeanor would unconsciously tense up.
Thea Shaw: "Miss Quinn and Mrs. Quinn are aunt and niece? I heard that Mrs. Quinn doesn't have any children."
Alice Quinn directly replied: "Yes."
