Ruby remained calm, choosing not to engage in an argument. “If you're looking for Eileen, you should call her. She's at work and not here." "I'm not here for Eileen. I'm here to talk to you." Denise slipped her hands into her pockets, sizing up Ruby's well-maintained appearance, noting her smooth skin.
Denise concluded that Ruby surely didn't engage in much housework. Unlike her, she washed dishes and cleaned tables every day! "What do you want from me? We have nothing to discuss," Ruby said, trying to walk past Denise, but Denise grabbed her arm.
Surprisingly strong, Denise held her firm. "Eileen is heartless, ignoring her own mother. I can't get through to her, so I've cto you. Surely you're not shameless, are you? You have a daughter yourself, yet you stay in my daughter's house! I heard your daughter is married. Is her marriage not as good as Eileen's? Is that why you're shamelessly staying here?"

Logically, she had no right to deny Denise access to Eileen's home. But she feared that letting Denise in impulsively might cause disruptions later.
Ruby thought it over but decided against openly sharing her concerns. Instead, she said, "I rushed out and forgot my keys. I can't get back in. Let's choose another location." "Don't try to fool me!" Denise scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Do you think I'm stupid? Ruby, how did I not see your shamelessness before? As a stepmother, what right do you have to keepfrom entering my daughter's house?"

"My his her home, so she has every right to keep you out," a voice suddenly called. Eileen's car had pulled up, and shel and shel overheard Denise's words as she stepped out.
Her elegant face was set in anger, and she walked over in her high heels, her eyes a mix of detachment and disgust.
