"You did not know that your husband died this morning? I understand that they inform all members of the family. Why, news of it even reached my ears, so I had to put off my time with your daughter to give her a moment to mourn," said Olivia.
Agatha opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out.
Why had Clive passed away?
He was in good health when she last heard of him.
"This is how I know that you are not close to your daughter. If you truly care for her, you would let her go now and not try to use her to climb your way up. There is no place for you in my world, but there is for your daughter," Olivia said, giving Agatha the harsh reality.
Olivia continued, "You should love your daughter more than you love the idea of entering high society. I have heard plenty of tales about you, and there is no place for you. At least not beside me."
"You do not know me. All you know is rumours," said Agatha.
