Stephanie did not know how to take this news, as she seemed shocked by it all. But the one most surprised was Ariana herself, and even though she did not show it, she knew it was not a coincidence that her ex-husband's name was Johnson, and for some unknown reason, the man who wanted to marry Lady Stephanie was also Mr. Johnson.
She had just said it, really taking a risk to ask questions, but the look on the lady's face said it all. It seemed now that this lady really knew a lot. Ariana could confirm that this woman was truly in love with Fredrick, as Fredrick must have told her almost everything about his plan. And now, that was what she was going to use against him.
She wondered if she and Lady Stephanie were the only ones this man had claimed to marry. But her father had married her off because of the debt he owed. Now Ariana was curious—what kind of debt did her father owe this man? She really was curious.
