Bianca shook her head to dismiss the unpleasant thought. Why did I think about them? It makes my blood boil in rage.

“Old Mrs. Yates, if you fancy, you can have her be your granddaughter. Alternatively, I think Mr. Yates… If that happens, she’ll still be your child but in a different sense.”

Matilda was not blind. She was so observant that she noticed how Ryan protected Ashlyn at the banquet.

Ryan had remained chaste for many years, never engaging in romantic relationships nor attending blind dates that Bianca had set up for him. All he ever did was spend time with his piano, which made Bianca very anxious.

No matter how good Ashlyn is, she’s still an outsider.” Matilda consoled her, “Moreover, rumor has it that she’s secretly married to Mr. Nolan, and then there are talks about them about getting a divorce. Should I get someone to investigate further? To find out if they’re still married?”
