Imagine Strathland going through a cold winter with no food, no pennies in his pocket, a lot of debt, until his heir was left with nothing. He would have to sell any piece of land unencumbered to another, possibly Scottish land. Or he would leave it to live in a filthy, filthy place in the city, lamenting the needy scene when drinking to death. That is the proper way of revenge. Push him down to where he belongs. "Paul's initial anger had dissipated, and the count's defeat was even more attractive than his death. Strathland never knew how hard it was. He never had to go hungry to sleep with his bare stomach so painful that he could not sleep. He had never shivered under thin blankets or had to wear shoes in the thick snow of winter. Like Paul must endure. "What must I do?" "Observe the rich. Learn and find out their weaknesses. "He gestured toward his house. "I'm not a poor person, but I was like you. Does your father talk about me? "Suddenly his eyes narrowed, as if hiding some secrets. Paul shook his head. "I never knew you had brothers. You never talked about me. "Uncle Donald shrugged. "Kenneth is the youngest of three brothers. We grew up in this house. "Paul jumped. He never guessed how much his father inherited in the end. "Maybe I'm wondering why Kenneth turned his back on us. My father left because he wanted to marry her. He was hot-tempered and easily assaulted, he said he would never come back or have anything to do with us. "" Then why did you send him to me? "Paul asked. "Because my mother is smarter than Kenneth. She understands you are all that is left of us. There will be days when all of this is yours. If you prove that you deserve to be like that. * * * * The grandfather you have never met me is a dead first. Even up to this moment, he was still stunned by the discovery. Kenneth Fraser had never behaved differently, and he also raised sheep like other farmers. Although Paul knew the Fraser family lived in Edinburgh, his father never visited them. Now that he understood why - it was because his father tried to hide his grandfather's title. Bridget knew the story, which is why she sent him away after his father was executed. Not only kept him safe from the Strathland people, but she also wanted to reveal the truth. "You will learn to be a gentleman," Bridget told him. "My father never wanted that life, but you should leave Ballaloch to get to know the world. Donald would teach her everything he needed to know. At that time, he was not interested in behaving or learning to become a gentleman and had told her that. But Bridget is still determined, now that he understands why. A title. Richness. Both can not change his life. Everyone will be very grateful for the money but Paul knows too well that his relatives are having a cold winter night with nothing but a hut and a fire. understand. Is it true that you are hiding in Edinburgh, having dinner with silver and crystal food, while your friends and relatives are suffering here? He wanted to be himself, determined to vindicate the count and overthrow the woolen empire of Strathland. The only reason the title was worth it was to give him a chance with Juliette. For a long time he dreamed of walking in the valley with Juliette, teasing her, watching her bright smile. If you let me go to London now, there will be no chance for them. Paul through the snow, he walked on the ground crunching. Throughout his life, he was always the one who believed in fate. From the moment he saw Juliette, he knew she was the one for him. And if you have to choose between following you back to London or living here without her, then no need to wonder where you are. "He strode towards the hut, his breath forming smoke in the air. cold winter. Although snow fell slightly on this side of the valley, it was still cold. He walked through the fire and hoped that someday they would have warm houses instead of the shabby tents. At the hillside, the grim remembrance of his father's death reappeared. The trial is a parody of those who agree with whatever Strathland wants. His father was hanged in the same hut because of the murder he did not commit. All was to protect his only son. Paul stared at the sparkling snow. Never forget how his father died. And though he wanted to go back to attack suddenly, pinning a bullet at the head of the earl, but his brother said very well. Revenge hastily will only end with your own life. Gambling and wealth are the power in the Earl's world. That's the way to defeat Strathland - not the raidAt night or stealing food, even though he had done both of them in the past year. Paul refuses guilt for stealing to feed hungry children. If the earl did not drive them out of the house, they would have been able to store food to live during the winter. In contrast, the Strathland people rob the gardens, taking away whatever food they want. No, the better way is to make him go bankrupt. In that case, London is probably the best solution to Paul's dilemma. You can improve your knowledge of wool business, learn how to make the other knob kneel when no one wants to buy his wool. Strathland's property is based on the sale of wool. Without it, he would lose everything. Paul could create his own position there, perhaps from a private doctor to a nobleman. As such, he can also be close to Juliette. Then gradually, he will win her. * * * "We will move in the next few days," Amelia told Juliette. "Mother is behind checking that there is something left over from the house. We will be with Aunt Charlotte and not our home in London because she does not come with us. "Reminds Charlotte of her aunt Juliette's spirit is excited because she is eager to see Matthew. Perhaps now, her son has begun to crawl. Simply thinking of the boy's crunching laugh, she wanted to return. I'm very happy, "she commented." And she said we could go on sewing. "Amelia smiled happily as though it was something she wanted to say. first. Juliette does not upset sister. "Farmers will sew, and we will put the finished products together for sale." Amelia added, "Maybe we can change the underwear Victoria gets in her new dress." "It can not be. Sinclair must be the seller of the goods. No one knows we produce bras and bras, "she rebuked. "It's a secret." Amelia fainted. "I just assumed." The girl was disappointed to keep secrets. Her sister underestimated the importance of keeping herself in the air. The cat Paul gave Juliette to dub named Dragon was screaming, plopping on her leg before plopping down and waiting for her to stroke her ear. Juliette sat down on the floor happily satisfying the animal. "The Duke has promised his mother that she and Margaret will have a ball launch this spring. I will need a lot of new dresses, "she said.Amelia came to sit next to her on the floor. "What about you?" Juliette knelt down. "I absolutely did not want to have a promo debut. I just want to maintain a single life. She will manage the Aphrodite's Unmentionables brand and be happy with the job. "Her sister stared at her, worried. "But I can not Juliette. So lonely to die. "" I like to add up the numbers and make money, "she protested. "Nothing is lonely." The lie easily slipped through her lips, she continued. "In addition, I do not necessarily see marriage to be happy. You will be free, can go anywhere you want. Maybe someday, you will have your own house with an old companion. "" Or maybe you want to marry Dr. Fraser, "her sister interrupted. "He's pretty handsome. And give me a cat too. "Juliette shook her head frustrated. "Do not be ridiculous!" Like a cat can make her change her mind about men. However, her cheeks are still flushed when referring to Paul. Single life is better, she silently reminded herself. There would never be a danger a man touched her again. But suddenly, Amelia stopped, staring at her for a long moment. Her sister frowned, her eyes bright. "I do not think you're telling the truth. I know you hid out to meet him twice. "Clearly her sister had good espionage. Juliette's cheeks were hot, but she waved her hand. "It was just a noxious charm when we were young, that's all. We are

friends and you have hardly seen him in the past five years. We did not say anything, really. "" No. "Amelia's sharp gaze. More than that. "She looked at her sister, as she could see the silent pain inside her sister. For a moment, fear overflowed through Juliette, that her sister was more suspicious than what she had shown. Her past touches were no longer a problem. Important is the future - a future without Paul. She ignored the feeling of joy mixed up with the pain of loss, because she never had him to begin with. "Her past does not affect me or your future marriage," she said. She happily spoke to point Amelia to another subject. Have gentlemen caught your eye when we were having a Christmas holiday in London? "" Do not try to change the subject! "Amelia held her limp sleeping cat. "When we were there, I was never interested in any party." "Do not be silly! Even though I do not want a husband, of course I'm still interested in partying. " All are lies. She spent most of her free time with Matthew, ru sleeping with him, shaking the drum to make him laugh. Neck
