“Tri penniless now, living at Dilalys mercy. What’s your real intention behind asking for so much compensation! Do you think getting me a stepfather will let him squeeze into the Stewan Dimily circle?” he said, his voice dripping with disdain
“Unfortunately, you’re wrong. The Stewart family doesn’t belong to me, and it certainly won’t belong to you or him.
