“No.” Iris wiped away her tears and gave a bitter smile. ‘I don’t know how to face Dorian and Cordella.

After all, if she hadn’t softened at the last moment, Thaddeus wouldn’t have suffered this

ordeal, and Vivienne and Percival wouldn’t have been so ruthlessly pressured by Arabella, almost ruining their reputations.

Vivienne lowered her head in silence for a moment and then looked at Iris as she nodded gently. Take care.”
