Upon hearing the word "aunt" through the electronic communicator, Cecilia was already puzzled, and when she heard Rosalind White threaten her with The Law Group, she didn't know whether to be angry or amused.
Is this a classic case of "the fox borrowing the tiger's might" only to encounter a real tiger?

Adrian, who was resting his chin on his hand by the sofa, saw the indescribable expression on Cecilia's face and raised an eyebrow.
"Did that buyer downstairs competing with us call you? What did she say to make you so angry?"
Cecilia walked over in a huff, curling her lips with an absurd expression.
