Certainly, Hicks knew what these women were thinking about.
Her face changed. And she wanted to slap this little boy.
"Stop right now. Otherwise, you would regret it. Mr. Sampson, come here!"
Hicks never expected a little boy dared to do this to her. She thought it was really shameful.
Mr. Sampson walked out from the corner. He planned to escape away. But Hicks called her. He had to show up.
"Miss Day."
"Stop them right now."
"Miss Day, they are Arther's man. I have no right to stop them. So sorry," Mr. Sampson shook his head as if he really couldn't do anything.
Actually, he could do something, but he didn't want to help Hicks. She's been swaggering for a long time. He wanted to teach her a lesson.
He didn't like Hicks. Unlike kind and generous Edie, Hicks was sinister, vain, and rude. She was not qualified to be Stuart's wife.
