Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 253

Roseanne concluded her talk with a flourish, "Let's not even get started on the poetic musings of the past, finding the essence of life in a cup of tea. What we're really doing here, gathering around for a cuppa, is searching for those life lessons in the brew, grasping at the real meaning of existence."

She ended on a high note, "Springtime promises and our tea dates never missed—may our bonds grow stronger with each passing year. Thank you."

With that, Roseanne stood up, bowing deeply to the audience.

The room fell silent for a moment before erupting into thunderous applause.

"Brilliant!"

"Such wisdom from Ms. Cole!"

Mrs. Jackson of Modern Jackson Designs, whose early years revolved around the tea business—from cultivation to sale—had initially been skeptical. She came upon hearing that a seasoned tea master would be speaking and was somewhat disappointed to see a young tea artist instead.

Youth, in her mind, equated to inexperience and mere showmanship without a real understanding of tea.

However, Roseanne's elegant tea preparation and her captivating, well-informed presentation took Mrs. Jackson by surprise.

When Roseanne spoke so eloquently, Beverley truly experienced the charm of having the grace of poetry and books.

Millie was on the verge of tears, desperately seeking Beverley's help, but to no avail. Finally, she caved, "Alright, you win. I apologize. Do you have to be so relentless?"

Before Roseanne could respond, Mrs. Jackson intervened, "Absolutely out of line! She's addressed every one of your challenges, and now it's your turn to make amends. Do you think you can just wriggle out of this?"

The other ladies joined in, scolding Millie for her behavior and indirectly targeting Beverley as well. The situation quickly escalated into a collective admonishment, with both Millie and Beverley at the center of the storm.
