After Johanna was struck, she lingered at the door for a moment, and upon hearing Danny’s words, she scoffed, “Are you an idiot? Can’t you find someone else to talk to her?”

“Mother’s right,” Jaime quickly agreed, nodding his head.

They all considered this a good approach–forget about everything else for now, just buy the mountain and deal with it later.

“Then let’s all notify our families. Have each one send someone over to the church to discuss things–get a feel for the situation and see how much money everyone is willing to put up to settle this,” Lawson said.

Isolde’s actions that evening had crossed the line; they could not let this go. The fact that a married daughter had inherited the title already made the Langley family furious.

It was as if they were being told the Langley family were utterly useless. Even if Clark didn’t want to inherit the title, or wasn’t interested in Vance, surely there was someone from the collateral branches who could be chosen as a successor. Why should it go to his own daughter?

Lawson, still fuming, turned to Vance and asked, “Before Geoffrey passed, was this truly how he specified things?”

“Yes,” Vance replied. “He said it was to make up for the years of hardship she endured at the manor. I actually suggested, if he thought I was incapable, to pick someone from the collateral branches. At least that way, the Langley family could retain its honor. But he refused and insisted on compensating her.”

“How did he die, exactly? Was it really from illness?” Lawson’s suspicion grew. Vance’s story had always been airtight, but Isolde had made such a public display of things–inviting so many people, even the local officials and Riley–there had to be something more to it.

Vance’s face darkened. “It was both illness and injury. He was gravely wounded while in Zloimond. He sacrificed himself for Isolde. Do you think everything she achieved was solely her own doing? No–Geoffrey helped her! She has no true ability. If it weren’t for Oliver and Geoffrey, she would have been dead in Zloimond with her flimsy tricks. Kamari’s soldiers were formidable. Without them, she would never have
