Chapter 3 - Victoria Tries To Gaslight Her Husband Desperately
Victoria crossed her arms defensively, tossing her dark hair over her shoulder with an air of aristocratic annoyance.
“You’re making a ridiculous scene over a common servant who probably stole from my private vanity,” Victoria accused loudly.

“I am not trembling from guilt; I am trembling from your sheer disrespect in front of the staff,” she lied.
Lily looked up from the floor, wiping her tears away with the back of her trembling yellow-gloved hand.
