Family Scandal

Timothy's fingertips moved slightly and he opened his lips. "The man who is currently helming the Barkers…Donald Barker."

Samantha was left startled once more.

Although she had no interaction with the Barkers for so many years, she had heard the name Donald Barker before.

Donald was Old Master Barker's son and the half-brother of Timothy's father.

Old Master Barker, or Edward as he was known, was the Barkers' heir. The position of family head should have been passed on to him since he was a cut above his peers. However, being the family head came with numerous family rules that he had to obey, which included his future spouse.

The Barkers have always been related by marriage to royals, and Edward had a marriage agreement with the eldest princess of the royal family. However, he met Nancy—the future Old Madam Barker—and fell in love at first sight with her.
