The reason the Marquess married Raven in the first place had nothing to do with love.
He only wanted to eliminate his rivals, gain more wealth, and secure the assets he needed to maintain his glamorous lifestyle.
He agreed to have children with her not because he wanted a family, but because he believed his sons could help expand his empire one day.
As for his daughter? He saw her as a tool, something to be traded for power, influence, or money.
In the end, the Marquess household wasn't built on affection.
It was built on selfish ambition.
"Are you going to take the embezzlement case to court?" Primrose asked quietly. "If you do … can you make sure the businesses under Lady Raven's name won't be taken away?"
Edmund gently reached for her hand and motioned for her to come closer.
Then he said something she didn't expect. "What if … we don't take the case to court at all?"
Primrose frowned. "What do you mean? He stole public funds, shouldn't he still be held accountable?"
