As Roger and the gang left Thirteen Hall, Peony forcefully pulled Miranda back to follow them.
"Mom, why are we following them? We should go back." Miranda was reluctant. She was in a bad mood after what had happened in Thirteen Hall.
Judging from Clarence's tone, he was obviously still blaming her.
Peony lowered her voice and gripped Miranda's hand tightly. "My silly daughter, you're so stupid. Who is Mr. Sanders? Who is Roger Reed?"
Peony's eyes were shining brightly. "Mr. Sanders is the young master of the Sanders of Beth City. Even though he's not one of the elders, he has tricks up his sleeve and connections which allow him to fight for the Sanders' inheritance. He might be able to become the next successor of the family.
"A few of my good friends in Beth City have told me that Mr. Sanders is highly valued in his family. Even though he was not born through a lawfully wedded wife, his family lets him handle a lot of the family business."
