"Anna! Anna! Anna!" Connor Osborne called out three times in a row, but Emma Osborne's Anna just looked at him without responding.
Emma Osborne looked at him triumphantly and said, "Stop calling. You could shout yourself hoarse, but it's no use; she can't hear you calling her, and she can't hear what I'm saying either."
Indeed, Anna couldn't hear what Connor was talking about because Emma had plugged her ears with earplugs.
Emma was close to her, and she could faintly hear Emma speaking, but she couldn't make out what was said.
While Connor was downstairs, she could only see him shouting at Emma. She saw his mouth moving, but she had no idea what he was saying.
She was actually very anxious, wanting to tell Connor not to believe Emma's words, because this woman never told the truth—it was all deceit, and she had been tricked by her.
