rattled - Story 109777 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer’s words echoed in Felicity's ears, each syllable a hammer blow. The sprawling vineyards, the ancestral home, the fortune she had always assumed would be hers, was all going to her older brother, Thomas. She was to receive… a collection of antique teacups.

She picked at a loose thread on the armrest of the plush chair, unable to meet her brother's eye. The blood thrummed in her ears, a frantic rhythm against the lawyer's steady, unyielding voice.
