She was confused about why Julia was so accepting of her mockery and accusation about Evelyn. It felt like she was punching a cotton pillow.
Nora had been observing Evelyn for a long time and knew that she had a lot of fight in her. Evelyn seemed to be the type of woman who would fight tooth and nail just to get her point across, so she expected Julia to at least argue a little with her.
'Well, this is no fun. She's like a defenseless zombie,' Nora thought. She thought that she could intimidate Julia into submission, but since this woman did not fight her, she might as well say what she had to say, "Listen, I set up this meeting between us to make sure that we're on the same page. I don't want her around my son any longer, got that?"
"Of course, I also think the same," Julia replied with a deep smile. "I think she's better in Seattle, working in that brothel just like I did."
