Watching Zora cry in pain, everyone felt pity for her. Yet Xaviera still relied on her position as Mrs. Mamet to not admit the truth, making Zora swallow her anger.
How could Xaviera be so arrogant? She was the one who did wrong, but she used Mrs. Mamet's status to suppress the victim, showing her moral depravity and complete lack of conscience!
"Miss Hughes, don't cry. Your makeup is smudging. You aren't that good-looking to begin with, but now you're even uglier," Xaviera teased. Zora quickly wiped away her tears, took out a makeup mirror, and checked her face, afraid that Caleb might dislike her disheveled appearance. Her eyes were red, but her makeup was intact, making her look even more pitiful. It was then that Zora realized she had been mocked.
