Freya's statement made Vivien's face burn with shame.

With that single revelation, everyone realized her earlier claims were nothing but a house of cards-crumbling fast and exposing her deceit. Shame tangled with fury in her chest.

She had, in truth, set out to ruin Freya.

"But Grandpa did tell me to keep an eye on you," she snapped, unable to bottle up her anger any longer, "and to make sure you pick someone suitable to marry. After all, getting married a second time isn't exactly a walk in the park."

The moment those words left her lips, the room fell still-all eyes turned to Freya.

Trent strolled over, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips, his scholarly charm on full display. "No matter how many times Mina marries, there's no shortage of people waiting in line to win her heart."

Freya blinked, caught completely off guard. "What are you doing here?"

Gasps rippled through the crowd.

"This event has certainly drawn a lively crowd today."

"Mr. Seymour seems rather familiar with Ms. Briggs, doesn't he? Do they have a close relation "He even said he came specifically because she would be here. What do you make of that?"

The atmosphere buzzed with speculation.

Though many present came from esteemed families, few could match Trent's pedigree.
