Chapter 256: What A Rogue Does Best

"It’s just one article," Ivy argued. "It’s still not enough to draw Elsie’s supporters to our side. Elsie Lancaster will marry one of the cardinal alphas after graduation. That alone is enough to keep people loyal to her, bitch or not." She made it clear to Violet.
