"The first charge is the murder of the physician.
The second is attempting to poison Lady Ruth. The third is to leak the secrets of Vincardine and the O'Dell family to the enemy. And the fourth is helping the strangers to enter Vincardine against the law." Rees announced the charges they had placed against Fannie.
Theodora was stunned and at a loss of words. She was worried about the physician's murder, but Fannie... she had committed the crimes that Theodora would never have thought of.
"What the hell are you saying Welby?" Augustus growled from his chair, making Fannie flinch in fear.
Rees remained silent, not getting permission to respond from Edwin. And that only irked Augustus more.
"This is just ridiculous Edwin! How can you blame her for such serious offences like that?" Theodora still wanted to save Fannie because of two reasons.
One- she didn't want her name to get stained as Fannie was her head maid. It might create suspicion against her too.
