Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 761

Esther forced a smile while responding to Winona's remarks, though she couldn't hide her uneasiness. Winona's unfriendly gaze made Esther apprehensive, but she concealed her true feelings.

When the director yelled "action," they began their scene as scripted, engaging in a heated argument. Winona wore a sinister grin as she warned Esther, "I'm warning you. Stay away from the prince."

Esther, looking frail, retorted, "I am his first wife. Have you forgotten your place?"
