A hush fell over the room. The verdict was final—and damning. Those listening could not help but pity the Ashton
family. After today, they might be exiled from Lyhaton’s elite circle entirely.
In a quiet corner, Jonathan stood watching with a slow, amused smirk playing on his lips.

He was half-asleep, sprawled across his bed, when the door slammed open with a thunderous bang.
Farris stormed in, cane in hand, and struck him with a sudden slap that echoed through the room. “You fool!” he
