Serena Caine and Ruby Bellamy left.
Back in the hotel room, Ruby Bellamy watched the furious Serena Caine, asking cautiously yet indignantly, "Aunt, President Caine, are we just going to let this go? This episode is a huge hit. If we just pull out like this, what will people think of us? How am I supposed to explain this to my fans? This is too humiliating."
She was fuming and frantic, on the verge of a meltdown, but she had to hold it in—because her aunt had been even more disgraced.
Serena Caine was packing her clothes. She shot Ruby a cold glance. Of course she was furious, but with Sean Quinn protecting Stella now, there was nothing she could do. "Take it slow. We'll find another chance to deal with her later."
She didn't blame Ruby Bellamy for messing things up. The whole fiasco had been Ruby's idea—to use the script to set a trap for Stella Lockwood. Serena had thought it might work, so she went along with it. In the end, the tables were turned on them.
