Those on-lookers changed color. A staff member came up, tugged at Freda's hand, and whispered, "Girl, calm down, making such a remark in public will damage your reputation."
In a fit of pique, Freda shook off her hand, gave a cold laugh, and looked at Gloria with disdain.
"She did such a shameful thing. Why can't I talk about it? My integrity is intact. Who should I care about that? All these years, I've never been humiliated like this. If she is right, I'll stomach it and correct my wrong. The truth is that she is ignorant and messing things up. Who can accept that? If things go on like this, no one can focus on his work."
Another staff member, who was eager to curry favor with Gloria, came up and frowned. "Freda, instead of making a scene here, you should reflect on your mistake. Miss White's ability is obvious to all and undoubtable, not to mention that her power came from Mr. Collins. Are you doubting his vision?"
