Chapter 1648

Evelyn's story did not end there. Instead of earning respect for identifying the assailant, she found herself subjected to further humiliation when details of the incident leaked among the community.

Many believed that she survived not due to luck but rather because she was compliant with the perpetrator's wishes compared to the previous victims who met their end. Some of her co-workers even commented that her preference for stylish attire may have made her a target as it seemed too flashy.

In an era where a woman's chastity was valued above all else, people often resorted to victim blaming.

Even the Thornfields claimed that she was an embarrassment to the family. Despite increasing the dowry in the beginning, they ultimately proposed lowering it, perhaps out of fear that Arthur might feel repulsed by Evelyn.

Evelyn was filled with a strong sense of Injustice and could not endure any longer. In a fit of anger, she attempted to take her own life.

Thankfully, someone noticed this and saved her. Not wanting Arthur to become the subject of mockery, Evelyn took the initiative to end their engagement.
