Miles Kendrick was Felix Preston's good friend. Although he had never met Sonia Quincy before, he was aware of the sensitive relationship between her and the two people before them.
He understood Sonia's hint and immediately played along. "That's right. My sister-in-law was definitely being passive-aggressive toward that woman from earlier. The lady was completely unreasonable, just spouting nonsense left and right. We were both at our wits' end."
Sonia hummed pitifully, deciding to beat Cecilia at her own game.
"Cecilia, you've misunderstood me. I wasn't alluding to you."
"..." Cecilia's smile froze on her face. She was at a loss for words.
"Really?" Ethan Lockwood's scrutinizing gaze landed on Sonia, his disbelief obvious.
"Of course, it's true." Sonia mimicked Cecilia's way of speaking, saying with a coy affectation, "Just like Cecilia said, it's not like you two did anything to provoke me. Why would I make veiled jabs at you? I'm not a lunatic..."
