Vicky Hawthorne's words were meant to annoy Lianne, but unfortunately, Lianne showed no reaction at all.
Upon hearing this, Claire Donovan feigned anger and shot Vicky Hawthorne a look. "Vicky!"
Vicky Hawthorne could only shrink back and resentfully shut her mouth. No matter how haughty and proud she acted outside, she still had to obediently listen to her older sister.
After Toy finished trimming Lianne's hair, he asked if she wanted a wash and conditioning treatment, which were complimentary services.
Lianne politely declined. As she stood up to leave, her gaze inadvertently fell on Claire Donovan, who was texting on her phone—most likely with Ethan Sinclair. A cabochon jade ring, mesmerizingly green, was on her index finger.
The ring was part of the dowry Eleanor Hawthorne had brought from Sterling Isle. Eleanor had given the ring to Ethan Sinclair, who in turn had given it to Claire Donovan.
It was a token of their love.
