Lady Miranda's Money Troubles
Alexander and the couple cleverly skipped mentioning the fact that Miss Linda and her son might very well have had the support of the former lord of the family at laying claim to the family's seat.
Which would then make Miss Linda's son Quentin the rightful successor to the family and that Lady Miranda and Alexander were the usurpers.
However, that narrative was too inconvenient for the latter.
They dare not say it.
And Alexander breathed a sigh of relief that there was no concrete will written by Lord Margraves about it.
Or else the game might have been already over.
But although Alexander managed to dodge that bullet, both he and Lady Miranda tacitly also understood that the entire family was against them and that the higher ups were much more likely to support Miss Linda than Lady Miranda.
