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.

"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.

When she mentioned the relatives, Adeline shot a pointed look at Eliza, her eyes dripping with sarcasm, as if to say, "You used to be part of our family, but you've long severed ties. How dare you come to the Marquis's estate as a guest?" Diana smiled sweetly. "That's fine. It doesn't matter if we're not relatives here. The
