The area beneath the staircase buzzed with whispers and murmurs. Voices discussing her were everywhere.
“Can you believe her? So stubborn...”
“She’s just been spoiled by the Meadows family and is used to strutting around like she’s royalty.”
“Absolutely ridiculous. Mr. Jacob is a man of stature; how did he raise such a headstrong daughter?”
All these whispers reached Jacob’s ears. His face darkened with anger. Neither of them was making his life easy. Couldn't they at least preserve the dignity of the Meadows family without making a spectacle?
With rare sternness, Jacob commanded, “Chloe, I order you to apologize to Linda.”
“I will not apologize,” Chloe’s voice remained firm.
Jacob was frantic now. For the first time, someone dared to defy him publicly, which was like a slap in his face. Others murmured about his lack of control, noting his complete absence of authority in front of his children.
