Margaret’s eyes darted around the room as she looked at the closed doors. She sighed and said, “Mrs, Sharp, I know Lillian spoke out of turn today, and I’ve been apologizing for her. But Lillian has already angered Patricia and Christine. I truly can’t handle this situation anymore. Please, be understanding”

“Shifting blame?” Natasha sneered. “Are you saying that everything today was Lillian’s doing and has nothing to do with you?”

Margaret stood up and bowed in apology. “I am the one at fault. If I had been able to restrain my aunt. things wouldn’t have escalated to this point. As for the betrothal ceremony. I left it to the servants to handle. which was my oversight. Such an important matter should have been handled by me personally.”

Everyone was stunned by Margaret’s words.

Although Lillian had been the one criticizing the Langley family earlier, Margaret hadn’t refuted her and had even nodded occasionally. Didn’t that mean she agreed with Lillian?

Natasha’s sharp gaze swept across the room as she said sternly, “I’ll take the liberty of asking all of you: were your family arranging a marriage, would you strictly follow the customs and traditions? Would you send roosters for the betrothal ceremony? Would you leave out the betrothal cakes and livestock for the betrothal gifts?”

If it were their own family’s wedding, of course, they would follow every detail meticulously. How could the betrothal cakes be missing? That would be like cursing the bride’s family to be cut off from their relatives. The betrothal cakes were meant to be distributed to the bride’s family and friends.

You couldn’t expect the bride’s family to buy their own betrothal cakes.

As for the livestock, that was even more essential.

For a family like the Valen family, the livestock should at least include pigs, sheep, and cattle. Only smaller families would use chickens as a substitute.
