As the future lady of this manor, what do I have to fear? I walked slowly towards the entrance, my voice steady and clear. Please, Shirley, try not to cause trouble for yourself and slander others. Besides, isnt it impolite to go around calling me names?
Debras POV:
My words dripped with calculated disdain and discourtesy, each syllable chosen with intention.
I wanted to ruffle Shirleys feathers, to remind her that I wouldnt bend over like a doormat and let her walk all over me anymore.
For too long, I had endured Shirleys torment in silence, choosing to keep a low profile to spare Andrew any trouble. Despite her relentless harassment, I gritted my teeth and bore it, refraining from retaliation. However, she took my patience for granted and doubled down, escalating her malicious actions to the point where my life had been endangered.
Debra, you shameless wretch!
As expected, upon hearing my almost provocative words, the hot-tempered Shirley instantly flew off the handle in a murderous rage.
With venom in her gaze, she turned towards me, her eyes ablaze with hatred. Im going to kill you today!
In a frenzied rush, Shirley lunged at me, her hands reaching out to strike, her screams of accusation echoing through the room. Andrew is way too reserved to ever want an engagement party! It can only be some sick scheme youve concocted to seduce him!
However, her attack was abruptly halted halfway, as someone intervened to stop her in her tracks.
Miss Harrison! Please, calm down!
The butler, accompanied by the presence of several guards formed a barrier between Shirley and me. Despite their firm stance, they trod carefully, mindful of Shirleys esteemed status as the clan leaders daughter.

The butler tried to reason with her. Miss Harrison, remember where you are. This is the manor. Mr. Pierce will not be pleased with your actions.
The mention of Andrews name seemed to have a slight effect on Shirley, momentarily calming her. But only for a moment.
Her temper quickly flared once more, burning rage surging back Like a firestorm. Andrew is bewitched by this foul woman, acting without even thinking about whats right. I cant just stand by and do nothing. Move aside, let me through!
The butler stood his ground firmly. Please, dont make this any harder than it needs to be.

In a desperate bid to sway Shirley, he even resorted to pleading, Im just an employee. Mr. Pierce tasked me with protecting Debra. I have no choice in this matter!
But Shirley remained unmoved, high-and-mighty, her sense of entitlement shielding her from empathy and disconnecting her from common hardships.
As Shirley stood defiantly, hands on her hips, poised to continue her tirade against the butler, I couldnt help but intervene. Let her through.
What ?
The butler, visibly surprised by my interruption, hesitated momentarily, unsure of my intentions.
Shirley, too, paused in bewilderment. But a smirk quickly played across her lips as she taunted me, Feeling guilty, arent you?
Ignoring her jibe, I addressed the butler, my resolve clear. Its alright, just leave it to me. I can handle this.
Though hesitant, the butler ultimately relented in the face of my determination. With a reluctant sigh, he stepped aside, signaling for the guards to withdraw and clear a path.
