The woman took a step forward, turning towards Penelope who stood there unaffected right now, "Are you implying to call me a gossiper?" the woman looked deeply offended. With the little commotion and the atmosphere that had turned uncomfortable for some of them, Damien finally turned to find Penelope and Mrs. Raver who were standing face to face.
"Lady Penelope," Helen tried to gain back her attention, "If you think I deserve to win him back what are you doing here? Don't you think it is inconsiderate of you to speak to me like this, trying to give me hope while keeping him bound to you."
"Lady Helen," Penny used the same tone, "I am sure you, as well as anyone here, knows that Damien is not someone who can be bound by manipulation. He is a person of his own unless you never knew him at all. It is instead pathetic of you trying to put a false claim on me when you can't even win the man's heart fairly."
