Aldana looked at her expression, moved her lips, but ultimately said nothing.
In this self-talking manner, whatever she says, it's meaningless.
Aldana hugged her legs, rested her chin on her knees, slowly closed her eyes, and lowered them.
Mrs. Shaw said: "Alright, it's about time for me to leave. Until next time, see you again."
Someone approached from not far away; it was Philip Shaw's driver. Seeing Mrs. Shaw there, he breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, and said to Mrs. Shaw: "The flight is at half-past three, we should get going."
Mrs. Shaw lifted her skirt and gracefully left the garden.
Aldana slowly opened her eyes and watched Mrs. Shaw's back, then lowered her eyes and mouthed silently—"Disgusting."
All of these people and things made her feel unparalleled disgust.

After Vivianne Lindsay and Mrs. Shaw left, the villa returned to its usual tranquility.
Everything was as normal as if nothing had changed.
