Lady Monica had been too angry to see how the woman she had met in the thread shop to suddenly appear to the soiree despite feeling angry, she had calmed down herself and her anger in the corner room which was the opposite of the place. She had stood in the place in purpose so Ian would be able to see her but in the position where she was, covered by the curtain she wasn't able to see the small scene happened between Elise and Ian; And still believed what her brother had said to her mind.
The girl may have taken the Lord's eyes but in the end if the day she was nothing but a maid. Someone who was lowly than the other and she was confident she would be able to discard the woman soon.
She lifted the corner of her lips calming her laugh, "The news comes like a wind and I was fortunate to hear of your excellent feat with the Church."
