Beverley stroked her chin thoughtfully, "Since you can see her, why not talk to her directly? It's surely more effective than asking someone else to send her off."
Aurelia shook her head, "She disappears in a blink. There is no way to talk."
Beverley pondered for a moment, leaning to whisper in Aurelia’s ear, "The day after tomorrow is her remembrance day. She will likely appear, so we could try this then..."
Aurelia nodded. They would find out soon whether the other was a human or a ghost.
Not far away, the maid arrived. Jessica invited them to join her in the tea room for afternoon tea.
In the tea room, Melissa took a sip of her Earl Grey, and sighed regretfully, "I never thought Leopold would marry such a woman, even Elowen is better!"
Sheryl advised, "Don't let Leopold hear you say that. He wouldn't be pleased."
Melissa grimaced, her gaze shifting to Jessica, "Mum, you can't really accept that woman, can you? Her background is questionable enough, but she's also restless, always mingling with Arnold, it's disgraceful. The gossip is about to overwhelm the Stirling family. All the daughters-in-law of the Stirling family are well-behaved. If such a woman becomes the matriarch, how will she convince the public? The other daughters-in-law might even follow suit. Wouldn't that throw the Stirling family into chaos?"
Melissa detested those lowly gold-diggers, and her brother happened to marry such a woman, wasn't this meant to upset her?
Jessica held her forehead, "I have my own judgment on Leopold's matters. You don't have to interfere."
Melissa replied, "I just don't want to see Leopold and the Stirling family ruined by a woman. In the meantime, I'll look for several eligible bachelorettes. Perhaps there will be one that Leopold fancies."
Jessica massaged her temples. She had already tried this over the past three years, looking for countless girls, not only the daughters of wealthy families but also those from humble backgrounds, yet Leopold didn’t give them a second glance.
At this moment, Kane happened to pass by and heard Melissa's words. His little eyebrows furrowed immediately.
"What are looking for, Aunt Melissa?" He walked in, his little face as cold as ice.
Although he was only three years old, his natural strong aura and icy demeanor were enough to awe the whole room.
Melissa shivered slightly, "A child shouldn't eavesdrop."
