It was obvious when Eleanor set out to entrap someone, she showed no mercy. She immediately commanded someone to fetch Sebastian back.
Sebastian had already explained this issue, and the officials' wives had also been present then. However, he was more than willing to clarify once again.
Standing behind the partition screen, his voice was old and stern.
"Madam Warren suffers from a heart ailment and hemoptysis. This illness has persisted for many years, and remains incurable. It can only be managed with Snowdrop Pills.
"Initially, I treated her in consideration of Lady Sinclair. Since entering the Warren family, Lady Sinclair has tended to Madam Warren's illness day and night for a year. The monthly cost of the Snowdrop Pills is considerable, and there’s no need to explain where the money comes from.
"However, Madam Warren was uncooperative. She constantly complained to me about the cost of the pills without understanding the precious herbs used to make them. If not for Lady Sinclair's repeated pleas, I would have stopped visiting the Warrens long ago.
"A person's reputation is as vital as a tree's bark. After General Warren won a victory, he discarded the wife who had served his mother for a year. Then, taking advantage of the king's marriage edict, the Warrens conspired to cast out Lady Sinclair to seize her dowry.
"Such family ethics and character are despicable to me, so I will not visit their estate to treat her. The only reason I still sell them medicine is because Madam Warren's eldest daughter-in-law knelt for a long time in the snow outside my office. It was out of respect for her devotion that I continued to provide the Snowdrop Pills. Why would I have done so otherwise? The pills are already in short supply.
"Moreover, General Barrett marrying Lady Sinclair was him reaching above his station. Fortunately, he never touched even a single finger of hers. They divorced, and she preserved her purity. Because of that, she can remarry without issue."
Having said his piece, Sebastian turned and left without even bidding farewell to Eleanor.
The focus of the gossip immediately shifted from Eleanor to Rebecca.
After all, even if it hadn't, no one would dare to gossip about Eleanor.
But what truly shocked everyone was that Barrett had never touched Carissa.
Good heavens, how could he resist such a beauty?
Many people had seen Aurora's appearance, and now hearing that she was disfigured and unpresentable made the situation even more surprising.
