Lord Cassius's Dilemma
Miss Linda poured her heart out when she made the request about Lord Nolan trying to convince his son to basically betray his wife for them, going as far as to slander her husband to make the matter go smoother.
Because she knew this was because it was a tough cookie to sell no matter how you looked at it.
How could any husband possibly agree to this? Especially when the stakes were this high.
This is why the lady put her utmost effort into it.
And the results showed, as was evident by how the old man had not immediately scolded her for making such an absurd claim and stomped the idea down as one would logically expect.
But only turned to look at the woman with a shocked, almost pale face, as if he was questioning whether he was really hearing himself correctly.
