"Christopher! Let Alice handle her own affairs. As parents, we shouldn't interfere anymore." Sophia Wood chimed in from the side, supporting Alice Turner alongside Lily Turner, forming a mother-daughter alliance that stood united.
Christopher Turner expected Lily Turner to speak on Alice Turner's behalf, but he couldn't understand why Sophia Wood did too and felt unsettled.

"We've been too lenient, which is why she's become so unruly. She went through with such a big thing without saying a word." He rebuffed unhappily, then turned his gaze to Alice Turner, "You better find a way to remarry Benjamin Shaw soon, or don't blame me for not acknowledging you as my daughter."
