The cheerful mood in the town is overshadowed by the grimness. The guests had to leave Vincardine sooner than they planned in the next two days.
Although the majority of the Vincardine sympathised with Florence's fate, there were some. Majorly women who thought she deserved it. Those were the women, who had lost their husbands to gambling and unethical affairs with Florence.
"What else a prostitute like her deserved?" They said.
Augustus felt no sympathy for Florence. She was the reason he had to face humiliation on many occasions as Edwin was involved with her. When he failed in talking sense into Edwin, he tried to summon Florence about the repercussions of her actions.
But the woman was too stubborn and overconfident for her own good. Augustus recalled how she offered her services directly to him when he spoke to her in person.
Eloise only scoffed, looking at Florence's dead body, and Theodora only shook her head with raised brows.
