Chapter 1207

The rumors surrounding Rosalind didn't cease. Jacob had investigated and confirmed that someone was orchestrating the spread of these malicious tales. Long-buried incidents were being resurrected and falsely linked to her and the academy, whether or not they actually had any connection. Attacking Rosalind was, in essence, attacking Trevor as well. By extension, it also tarnished the reputation of Gracewood Women's Academy.

Trevor and Gerald had long been respected figures in academic circles. But now, because of this affair, Trevor had fallen from grace, while Gerald was now the one being lauded.

Meanwhile, no one was mentioning Malcolm's affair with his mistress anymore.

Despite all the attention on the Quinton family, it didn't help them. The larger they became, the more they attracted attention. The Quinton family needed to act swiftly to suppress the rumors.

Jacob discovered they were trying to control the narrative, but it wasn't working. So, they had no choice but to refocus the conversation on the women's academy and Rosalind, spreading all sorts of negative rumors about her marriage prospects.

Jacob could barely contain his anger. A woman as pure as Rosalind was being dragged through the mud by them.

The suitors knocking at the door were becoming more numerous. At first, some had genuinely wanted to marry her, even though they were unworthy men with questionable morals. Soon after, those who came were simply there to humiliate her. A group of misfits, unable to win her hand, started saying strange and rude things. Even though they couldn't get into the house, they stood outside, claiming they would be kind enough to marry her.

Jacob had his people make note of the names of these suitors, planning to investigate and punish them later. However, he soon realized that another group was also keeping track of them.

When he reported this back, Carissa was curious about who was behind it. So, she sent Claire to inquire and learned that it was people from the Farrell family-Thomas' men.
