" Alliance by marriage. If Arthur married one of our daughters, we can explain how he... "
" That's a good idea. We all know that Brunton girl ran away. So who are you suggesting?"

He expected Lord Reilley to suggest Lord Clairmont's daughter. At least they can manipulate their daughter and fill their pockets once she gets in the family.
" Yeah... How about Lady Sophia Clairmont? "
Lord Reilley said scratching the back of his head. Jordan who was sitting behind Arthur dropped the files he had with him on the floor.
