Chương 60: Her old flame

After talking to my father in law, i had thought everything would be fine. So I invited Marianne to meet me and explain to her to apologise to Isabella and let the case go. But no instead of accepting. She just threatened to be back.

I was sure I saw her trembling for a minute. I thought she was afraid of me, but no. Her eyes were blazing with fire.

At last I had to return empty handed. Plus this brother in law of Charles, i have to go and receive him tomorrow to invite him to live with us.

Great! Now I have to work on these files too.

As I walked into my room, after another long tiring day that I had spent with files, I saw all the servants were already there waiting for me.

"So, did she finally come to us for help?" I asked the head maid again.

I was sure Marianne was showing an attitude that day, when she would realise there was no one else who could help her except me, she would come back. Then her pretence would fall finally.
