"Miss Thorne, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant!"
Katherine Walsh flatly denied it, cursing herself inwardly for being so useless.
'How could I let this bitch intimidate me with just a few words?'
She resolved not to be led by the nose by Shirley Thorne any longer. She needed to set her own pace.
She wiped away a tear, putting on the air of someone deeply wronged who didn't dare to even breathe too loudly. Bowing to Ethan Grant, she said, "Mr. Grant, I'm so sorry. I misunderstood you."
Before Ethan Grant could speak, Shirley Thorne pressed her urgently. "Misunderstood what? Tell us the details!"
Everyone: ...
'Miss Thorne sure can hold a grudge!'
Yvette Grant couldn't stand seeing her look so smug and tried to mediate. "Shirley, that's enough. Katherine is just a bit naive and blunt. It's the middle of the day, and everyone's still hungry!"
