He’s trying to shame me in front of everyone. Blankly I stared back. I had no honor. I’d stolen everything I owned. Lived in a cardboard box for years. Showered in sinks all winter when the well water was too cold. His words meant nothing to me. If anything, I was happy for all the heiresses who weren’t allowed to participate in this hell. It was nice that someone was protecting them. Stay honorable, sisters.
