Bab 142: Chapter 142

 "Anna, this would be a good time for you to show Rose around but alone. It is not time for her to be meeting with your friends. Show her a few places you like and spend a moment together. I shall prepare the guards for you," said Madeline.

"Yes, mother," Anna replied, not thrilled about how they had to spend the day but she would do it for her mother. "Will I get a new dress tomorrow since you took mine? I had that one to attend the earl's birthday ball with and now I must replace it."

"You are to get a new dress if you are on your best behaviour. It is only one since I am not thrilled about you always losing your jewels. If your father would stop replacing them then you would put more care into not losing them," Madeline said, looking at Victor.

Victor cleared his throat. He found them each time and it wasn't him who was losing them so why was he being scolded with Madeline's gaze? "She won't get any more for the rest of the season."
