Chapter 676 It Was Missha

Elvir snorted. "I call it 'doing the public a good deed and defending the marriages of other families'."

Everleigh felt her laugh bubbling up. Doing good for the public? Wasn't he signing himself up for a sure-fire way to bring trouble upon himself?

In the evening, Alastair, Adrienne and Theodore came over together. Alastair put down his bag and began to pore over the documents.

Theodore listened to her words with some confusion.

"Isn't that nice of Adrienne?"

"As a girl you should be self-reliant, lest you lose your ability to live when a man can't be relied upon." This was what Everleigh had thought when she was a child.
