Her neighbor, Master Walsh, was the owner of those ridiculously expensive bees.
After the bee incident, Shirley Thorne, feeling guilty, painted a "Bee Honey Collection Painting" and gave it to him.
'Even though that jerk Leo Graham was the one who did it,' she felt, 'the bees had still suffered an undeserved disaster because of me.'
So, after everything was investigated and cleared up, Shirley Thorne personally painted the picture, hoping to make up for it in some small way.
Master Walsh was delighted. He had Shirley Thorne stay for afternoon tea that very day and even made a point to show off his latest hobby.
He had stopped raising bees and had taken up feng shui instead.
"Miss Thorne, looking at your face, you're a natural at attracting wealth, and that fortune of yours comes with a touch of romance."
"That boy Ethan spoils his wife, doesn't he? He must give you a lot of money!"
