Even if Man Renner gave Shirley Thorne ten brains, she never would have imagined that the farce involving Livia Grant would end with Phoebe Ainsworth in the hospital.
After that night, Warren Grant fell into a deep state of self-doubt. He had been proud of controlling Susan Langley his entire life, but he never expected it would all come to nothing in the end. 'That woman actually dared to hit me?'
Because the scene was so chaotic, Shirley Thorne was in a hurry to get Phoebe Ainsworth to the hospital and had no time to pay him any mind. She only heard from Florence Langley that the scumbag had been taken away by The Mistress Mother. Apparently, he looked very hurt when he left.
Shirley Thorne: 'Hurt?'
'He has the gall to feel hurt?'
'So by his logic, not getting a handout is the same as being robbed?'
'What the hell kind of logic is that?'
Shirley Thorne was speechless, deeply regretting she'd even heard the report.
But for all her regret, Phoebe Ainsworth's was far greater.
