[A scandal of the decade? The Thornleys are known as a respectable noble family. Donating to the poor, sponsoring orphanages, all the charity hoo-haas that was expected of a family like that. But everything pristine has its dark stain. In their case, it was a stain so big, it could potentially ruin them.]
That was the opening of the article that talked about all the dirty secrets of the Thornley family. That engaging introduction caught the attention of everyone who had read and seen it. Thus, reading the article father.
And so, the small smoke that this article created became a huge fire that could literally devour the Thornly family.

[Is this really true?]

[Wow. Did Viscount Thornley really ordered to kill people who got on his nerves? And he really got away with it? What's the use of law in this Empire?]
