The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call

To add salt to injury, Wynter pointed out dryly, “May I remind you, Mr. Shepherd, that it was Charlie who wanted to kick me out of this ceremony? You tried to pass that off as a misunderstanding, but it does make me wonder about Shepherds’ arrogance.

and untrustworthiness.”
