An awkward silence fell over the group. Everyone in the room saw precisely who knocked it over. But instead of taking responsibility, Khloe’s face flushed with irritation, and her eyes immediately locked onto Eleanor, who was standing nearby with a dusting cloth.

She calmly walked forward, knelt on the hard floor, and began picking up the shattered glass shards one by one, letting Khloe enjoy her fleeting moment of false superiority.
