This is Mr. Ellison's biological mother. Even he had to show her respect and couldn't talk back, let alone her.

Harper stood her ground, backing Caroline up as she laid down the law.
Though she was calling out David's name, it was obvious she was speaking for Elizabeth's benefit.
David responded, “I hear you.”
