It was clearly her stance about her son and Eugene.
Lady Hamel wanted her son fully supported and did not want Eugene, whom she believed was a fool, to ever be allowed as an heir candidate; when she was the one who made him into a fool by ensuring he did not get the education and training he deserved.
Eugene's mother bit her lip upon hearing Lady Hamel's words.
There was a tinge of bitterness, resentment, and sadness, but also a quiet acceptance in her eyes.
The second wife had been subjugated by Lady Hamel a long time ago and her words and actions earlier today were the first after so long and likely the last of her acting against Lady Hamel's words.
"Yes, that's true," Arabella said and Lady Hamel's eyes immediately lit up. But Arabella continued, "There are also a lot of other factors though. Like for instance, losing all your heirs."
"!!!"
Lady and Lord Hamel gasped at her words.
