Shirley Thorne's rhetorical question completely derailed Meredith Rowan's script.
She had no idea what to say next, her expression turning a bit dazed.

Shirley Thorne: 'Time for my performance to begin!'
"Aunt Rowan, you're just too soft-hearted. That's not a good thing."

Meredith Rowan: ...

She had a feeling the girl wasn't actually complimenting her.
Shirley Thorne took a small sip of tea and continued, "Aunt Rowan, so what if Yvette Grant didn't invite me? I'm a painter who's sold at national auctions. Her not inviting me is her loss. What does it have to do with me?"
