Scarlett Glenn, small in stature, spoke with a crisp voice, uttering words beyond her age, which truly made one's heart tighten. Ruka Glenn inexplicably dared not meet her eyes.
"I, I…"
Nell Harris looked at her daughter in amazement, realizing she'd always underestimated her. Scarlett had said many things today that were more powerful than anything she had ever said.
Scarlett continued, "Our teacher taught us today that one should live by conscience, but I still don't know what conscience is. Aunt, can you teach me?"
Ruka Glenn's face turned red, uncertain of what to say.
She had spoken ill of Nell Harris without conscience, bending the truth, especially at such a young age, already knowing what guilt feels like; now even more she dared not lift her head.
She simply stopped looking at them and directly said to Arnold Glenn, "Brother, anyway, I think it's totally unnecessary to pay them any mind. If they want to suffer, let them suffer on their own."
