She had overheard the orphanage director mention that on a day blanketed with heavy snowfall, they found her-then just a six-year-old-lying at the door, burning with fever.

After being rushed to the hospital for treatment, her memories turned foggy, lost to the passage of time.

As Isabel strolled through the garden, lost in her thoughts, she absentmindedly plucked a flower from its

Suddenly, the sharp voice of a maid broke through her daydream.

"Ms. Zimmerman! You're in big trouble! That's Mr. Xander's favorite flower! We take great care of it- losing even a single petal pains us. And now, you've ripped the whole bloom off!

Instead, she felt a twinge of guilt for damaging something he cherished. Honestly, if someone had ruined her favorite item, she would surely react with fury.

I'd suggest you rein in those thoughts. Even if this girl used some special means to rise up, she'll eventually be pushed out of the family. For now, she holds the title of Mrs. Bennett.
