Suddenly, Liam straightened. “I might know who was involved.”
All eyes turned to him. Liam’s gaze shifted uncomfortably between Alexander and me before he finally sighed.
“The night of the bonfire… I went for a walk in the forest to clear my head. Sophia followed me.”
Alexander’s shoulders stiffened at the mention of Sophia’s name.
“She approached me and suggested we work together to break up your marriage,” Liam went on. “She knew about the contract. It was Sophia who gave me the idea to confront you about it.”
My blood ran cold. Sophia knew? How long had she known? I thought back to all the times she had looked down on me and treated me like a servant in my own home. It was no wonder when all the while, she’d known my marriage was nothing but a business arrangement.
“You told her?” I breathed, turning toward Alexander.
But he shook his head vehemently. “No. Never.”
I folded my arms. “Then she must have broken into your office. How else would she know that information?”
Alexander’s mouth pressed into a thin line. “She would never do something like that.”
Gabriel cleared his throat. “You do frequently have tea in your office with Lady Sophia,” he said quietly. “It’s possible you left something out and she saw it.”
Alexander didn’t answer that. I shook my head and looked away. Of course it would be Sophia. Of course she would be the one to reveal everything. She had never been happy about my marriage to Alexander.
“And I think she’s behind more than just the leak,” Liam added quietly. “The rogue attack at the bonfire didn’t seem to be a coincidence. The rogue seemed to hone in on Ella’s scent right away.”
“She’s always hated me,” I muttered. “Always wanted me gone. Maybe she even lured that rogue-”
“Now hold on,” Alexander interjected, raising a hand, “We can’t just assume Sophia is behind all of this without evidence. This is a serious accusation.”
I couldn’t help but scoff. Even now, after everything, he was still defending her.
“She pushed me out of a hayloft,” I reminded him. “Or have you conveniently forgotten that already?”
