2. What is one of the things that Bella does that bothers Theresa?

Answer: Bella dresses the same way, only with cheaper clothes

This little tidbit is actually more important than it seems. Miss Lawson thought she saw Theresa set the trap at the top of the stairs, but it was actually Bella.

Everyone liked Bella, but was disappointed with the fact that she married a Greek. Everyone did admire him, however, for his career.

The Sisters Tripp saw a halo form around Emily's head right before she died.
