The atmosphere in the dining room, which had already been tense from the start, got even worse now, becoming almost unbearable. The servants seemed to be all holding their breaths, quickly fleeing from the scene to the kitchen, leaving only the butler behind.

It wasn't something they could gossip about, not even among themselves!
With the lack of their shuffling around, the dining room became even quieter, making Catherine's cold voice sound jarring as she asked, "Lane, what are you talking about?"
