Uninterested in watching any further , Valda instructed the house staff to help her back to her room .
Mr.
Nelson ! Charmaine raised her voice , meeting Willards astonished gaze .
She enunciated each word with clarity .
Do you think what happened tonight was just a little unpleasant ? Willard noticed that Charmaine was still being defiant , and his patience began to wear thin .

Wheres the disownment document ? Alec pressed his lips together tightly and said nothing .
Alright then , I wont trouble the esteemed prosecutor any longer .
