"If Casper brought her home and our family accepts her, that's all that matters. We don't need your approval."

Her face flushed with anger. "Caroline, have you lost your mind? She's a gold-digger, after Casper's money. Don't let her fool you."

"Going after Casper's money is still better than going after his body," Caroline retorted with a grimace, unwilling to drag out the conversation. She took Eliza and walked away.
