Elisa only discovered later that she missed out on great fun.
She took a dig at Jasmine and Serenity.
Jasmine had mentioned and warned Serenity about including Elisa, but Serenity did not want to expose the young heiress to such crudeness.
Sure, Elisa was born into privilege, but she was Elisa Stone, a well-known unreasonable and rude brat in Wiltspoon’s higher society. No crudeness could scare her.
In fact, Elisa would be the sh*t-stirrer if people caught her at the wrong time.
“My sister got what she was owed. It was just the renovation costs that the Browns refused to return. So, my sister called me to bring some men and trashed the furnishings.”
Mrs. Stone commended the act. “That’s the way to do it. Why should the Browns have it easy?”
She added regrettably, “I’d have brought a bunch of people and demanded the money back from the Browns as your family member had I known.”
It dawned on Serenity that Elisa got her personality from her mother.
“Seren, come home with us when you close the shop later. Have dinner with us. That reminds me, does your husband have time? Get him to join us too.”
Serenity replied, “My husband is away on business today. It’d probably be some time before he returns. I’ll visit you with him when he comes back.”
“Oh, he’s away on business. I guess I’ll have to wait until I get to meet him.”
Mrs. Stone was not bothered that she could not meet her niece’s husband as her full attention was on her nieces.
Now that she had found her nieces, Mrs. Stone had the girls’ backs all the way. She needed to check out if Serenity’s husband was worth spending the rest of her time with.
“So your sister gets off work at half-past five?”
“Yeah.”
Mrs. Stone looked at the time. “Where is your sister working?”
