When Nancy heard Michelle's threat, she turned to Crystal and said, "Let her go."
Crystal nodded and took her foot off Michelle's back. Then Nancy rushed to Clark's side. She was terrified of what Michelle might do to her son.
Michelle used the night table to help herself stand, and once she was on her feet, she glared at Crystal. "This is not over," she promised. "Not by a long shot."
Before Crystal could respond to this veiled threat, a servant stepped into the room. When she saw Michelle, her eyes lit up. "Miss Michelle!" she exclaimed. "I finally found you! I am so happy! My Master has been looking for..." As the servant was speaking, she noticed the mess, and the rest of her sentence caught in her throat. She looked at Michelle. "Wh-Wh What h-happened to you?" she stammered.
Crystal sneered and said, "She was sleepwalking when she walked into our room. She accidentally hit the candle on the dresser. It tipped over, and it started a fire."
