“What’s wrong? How dare you ask?” Henry sneered. “Relieve his mind, my *ss! Your candle sent your grandfather to eternal rest instead!”
“You mean, there was a problem with the scented candles?” Rather than beating around the bush, she chose to be straightforward. She got straight to the point instead of admitting some trumped–up charges.
“Wouldn’t you know if there was a problem with the scented candles?” Henry’s words were full of sarcasm.
