Sophie's hand, clutching the curtain, froze abruptly. She looked up at Adeline, her face a mix of shock and fury.

"Keep your malevolent glare to yourself. Don't stare at me like that," said Adeline.

Adeline let out a cold, mirthless laugh and began to descend the steps, her tone icy. "You have a chance to marry Caleb today because he's kind-hearted enough to plead on your behalf. Otherwise, you-a non-virgin hussy-think you have a chance with Caleb? It's nothing but a pipe dream.”

Sophie gritted her teeth. "He slept with me. Of course, he has to take responsibility."

"You know full well why Caleb was with you. You schemed your way this far and actually thought you could be his wife? Do you really think the Marquis's estate is so easy to push around?" Adeline said, her face twisted with disdain.

She turned to the head maid and the coachmen, her impatience evident. "Enough dawdling. Let's get inside. If you delay the proceedings, both you and this wretch can get out."

"Alright, Madam Nevill, please wait a moment. We'll take Sophie to Sir Nevill right away," the head maid said, signaling the coachmen to hurry. Adeline turned to go inside.

"Wait. Don't be in such a rush," Diana's voice rang out again.

Adeline glanced at Eliza and Diana, her irritation and unwelcoming attitude clear. But Eliza's current status was too elevated for Adeline to simply shoo her away.
