Clara Jennings' "telling on" posture was easily seen through by her.
Her words were diluted, emotions overflowing, clearly hiding personal motives.
But she also knew, the likes of Tristan Lowell, only acknowledged interests all his life, and never saw family.
His daughter, having been influenced since childhood, how clean could she be?
Especially when Cora Lowell and Hayden Croft's engagement party caused a stir across the city, even the media chased after the report.
It was only Landon Lockwood stepping in that settled the disturbance, cleaning up the mess for the Lowell Family.
Clara Jennings was right.
If someone truly liked another person, how could they bear to make her a scapegoat?
How could they bear to make her the target of public criticism?
Anything else, Katherine Zane could turn a blind eye to, and let it be.
But this particular issue, she wouldn't back down!
Feelings can be impulsive, but the bottom line must be upheld.
