What? I was stunned when Nora shared the news with me. Disbelief washed over me. Shirley dared to barge into Andrews place? Is she out of her mind?
Despite Shirleys usual bossy attitude, she always seemed to respect Andrew and care about her image in front of him.
Why would she suddenly storm into Andrews place?
Did something happen?
Feeling a weight in my chest, I handed Abby to a nearby maid and approached Nora, eager for more information. Whats going on? Why didnt anyone stop Shirley with all the guards at the manor?
Nora looked helpless as she replied, There are plenty of guards, but whats the use?
With a shrug, she continued, Shirley, being the clan leaders daughter, just barged in with her group, threatening and even hitting people. The guards didnt dare to stop her. Now, only the butler and a few others are trying to restrain her. But I doubt they can hold her back for long.
Worry furrowed my brow.
Was Shirley causing such a scene just to see me?
Not wanting others to suffer because of me, I made up my mind. If shes so desperate to see me, then Ill go and see what she wants.
Thats not a good idea! Nora reached out to stop me. Debra, you cant go. Mr. Pierce isnt at the manor right now. If you go alone and Shirley starts bullying you, what then? With so many people with her, she wont let you off easily.
I let go of her hand, revealing Shirleys strategy to Nora. Nora, youre too trusting. Shirley is here because Andrew isnt around. She wouldnt be this bold otherwise.

Nora, still concerned, suggested, If shes afraid of Mr. Pierce, cant we just wait for him to come back? Debra, please, dont go. It will only cause trouble!
It was clear that Nora didnt really know Shirley, as she hadnt spent much time with her.

I shook my head. If I dont face her now, she wont stop. Shell keep coming after me, and it will only get worse.
But
Nora had seen Shirleys fierceness and was genuinely worried about me, trying her best to stop me. I explained firmly, Nora, theres something you dont know. Shirley and her people once tricked me into going to the border between witches and vampires, planning to kill me.
Nora was shocked.
I continued, Think about it, if I dont face her now, shell do something drastic to see me. Were in the manor right now, with plenty of guards and maids around. Maybe that will make her hold back a little.
In a low voice, I insisted, We cant miss this opportunity.
Before Nora could respond, I quickly moved away, instructing her, Nora, Ill go meet her. You stay here and dont go anywhere.
As I opened the door to go downstairs, I heard Shirleys arrogant voice from the entrance.
Why doesnt Debra come meet me? Is she scared?
I narrowed my eyes, a slight smile playing on my lips.
