Hearing Yvonne's words, the Valente family turned in her direction and wondered what was the meaning hidden behind those words.
Facing their curious expressions, the little girl chuckled and glanced at the report which Marcus had prepared for them.
'I knew that the soap maker's family must have been down on their luck but I did not expect for such a thing to happen.' She shook her head, remembering what she had just read.
As per her speculations and what she had heard from her father, Yvonne was sure that the middle son who had stolen the recipe of soap from his family and sold it to Earl Blaise for an exorbitant sum of money had not returned to his family.
This meant that the oblivious family had continued to make and sell soap as usual without a care in the world, just as they had been doing for many years.
Thus, when Earl Blaise caught wind of it, he threatened to get them thrown into prison for their unlawful activities.
Marcus heard about the rumors, chose to turn a blind eye because he heard about the Royal Seal on the document but now he's blaming it on Rutherford. Any guesses why?
