Just then, a maid happened to bring over some clothes.
Archie Lockwood took the clothes and went straight upstairs without sparing Shannon Vance a glance.
Shannon Vance watched Archie Lockwood carry the clothes upstairs, so furious that she bit down hard on her lip. It was a long moment before she finally relaxed.
She looked down at Shirley Lockwood and asked in a low, slightly angry voice, "Rory, tell Auntie, is that Miss Bishop pretty?"
"Gorgeous!" Shirley Lockwood blurted out without a second thought.
At her words, the color drained from Shannon Vance's face. She clenched her fists and asked again, "Then, Rory, between me and that Miss Bishop... who's prettier?"
"Hmm… Well, about that…" Shirley Lockwood stroked her chin, tilting her head and putting on a troubled expression as she looked at Shannon Vance.
Seeing Shirley Lockwood's troubled expression, Shannon Vance's heart sank.
