Chapter 28 

Thea had been the object of ridicule for ten years.

Every time she stepped outdoors, her face would be hidden under a veil.She thought she was used to this.

"This is it? I wouldn't want her even if you paid me."

"The most beautiful woman in Cansington? The media must've been blind when they said that."
