Already burdened with having to take care of her family, Scarlet now finds herself being forced to listen to the many reasons why her marriage failed.

"Leonard, I hope you are not having another drink before dinner has started. Just because you received a large gift of wine does not mean you must try to drink it all fast. Send some to Scarlet or your father. We have too many for just the two of us," said Samara.

"I will personally deliver some to Scarlet," Leonard decided.

"You only want to go see if Ian is around. You are not fooling anyone. Have someone send the bottles so Scarlet doesn't need to try hiding Ian from us again. It was delightful," Samara said, giving Leonard back the glass. "I suppose I should have a glass for all the trouble your family is causing."

Samara sat down on a chair in Leonard's study. "Why now do they think they can fight for an estate that belonged to your grandfather? You said he didn't like them."
