They had been worried all day that Harvey and Heather might come to question them. But by evening, no one from Hartstone Estate had arrived, which offered them a slight sense of relief. Just as they were about to settle in for the night, Helen arrived unexpectedly. Knowing Helen’s reputation, Abigail understood that while Helen…

The fact that the investigation was being conducted by a special investigator personally appointed by the king, and one who was the head of the Ministry of Justice no less, would manage to stir some doubt among the enraged populace. Kyle, too, made a rare public statement regarding the case, outlining its ambiguities. Previously, the…

When Sophie and Rafael arrived, she didn’t rise but called out, “Lady Sophie, Prince Rafael.” “Greetings, Alana!” the couple greeted with a bow. “Please sit. I’ll be brief,” Alana said calmly. She always approached matters with such composure-never in a rush, yet the urgency of her message might be significant. “Alana, is something wrong with…

Sophie had anticipated this outcome. The Marquis of Ironridge’s family valued its reputation above all else. Though Jessica had tarnished it over the years, Margaret had constantly been cleaning up after her. The younger members of their family were always cautious, guarding their actions and words to avoid bringing disgrace to their name. For a…
