Dylan said, "Eliza, don't be angry with me! It's my fault. I actually forgot such an important matter. I'll go down and buy you something right now!" Benedict added, "Yes, I'll go too!" "No need." Eliza stopped them in a flat voice.
She didn't really want it anyway. She just couldn't stand their hypocrisy and wanted to expose them. Matthew and Anthony didn't react much. They just froze for a moment and then returned to normal.

"It's not the first the anyway. What is there to be sad about? Didn't she not receive a single flower at her coming- of-age ceremony?" Matthew sneered, his words hitting a nerve.
He added, "Eliza, you'd better behave yourself. As long as you're obedient, Father and we will make up for your birthday gifts." Eliza said impatiently, "I said I don't want..."
