Rebecca looked up at him, her gaze fiery. “You’re just a steward! How can you represent her and respond to me? Bring her out so I can ask her directly if she intends to drive my family to its end!”

Frederick smiled. “I manage the affairs of the estate, both inside and out. If every issue and person requires Lady Sinclair to appear, then I would be failing in my duties as a steward.”

He took a lengthy list from Lily’s hand, which unfurled and dragged on the ground.
