As Marley’s accusations echoed through the room, Prudence remained stoic, her face betraying no emotion. “Nonsense,” she said coldly. “Before Prunella died, she held my hand and told me to comfort Geoffrey.

Marley’s teeth ground together in fury. “Back then, I had no idea. After Prunella’s death, I was thrown out of the estate for not serving her well enough.

But then, Prunella survived through six months, and I began to fear–maybe this was fate. I couldn’t continue, so I suggested she take a break and go to the estate to rest.
