When Annie Lawrence was flirting with David Benington, she was always dressed up and heavily made up, just like now.
So her intentions were easy to recognize.
Moreover, her eyes had been glued to Ashton Heath ever since she came downstairs, always staring at him without even glancing at anyone else.
One could say her behavior was very obvious.
Presumably, Benjamin had also noticed.
That's why he insisted on having Annie go upstairs to change her clothes.
Only his naive sister, Joanna, seemed to be completely clueless.
Jeremy Lawrence didn't know what to say to her.
She had already been taken advantage of by Annie once, yet she still had a big heart.
"Joanna, Annie must have designs on Ashton. You have to guard against her. Ashton is at least one hundred times better than David, and she had feelings for David in the past. I don't believe she could see Ashton without having any thoughts."
