Chapter 34 A Stirring At The Forum

• Evelyn possessed a sharp mind that enabled her to perceive Olivia's deeper intentions with a perceptive eye. Within her, a seed of doubt sprouted, leading her to conjecture that Chloe could have been engaged in disparaging discussions concerning her in her absence. This insightful realization empowered Evelyn to approach the circumstance with a judicious awareness of the intricate dynamics in motion.
• "Mom, I've come to understand that Chloe might have spoken unfavorably about me to my eldest aunt. However, Mom, I want you to believe in me. I'm not the kind of person who lacks self-esteem or self-worth."
• "Alright, I trust you." Olivia held reservations, but ultimately decided to place her trust in Evelyn's words.
