Chapter 1207
The rumors surrounding Rosalind didn’t cease. Jacob had investigated and confirmed that someone was
orchestrating the spread of these malicious tales. Long-buried incidents were being resurrected and falsely
linked to her and the academy, whether or not they actually had any connection.
Attacking Rosalind was, in essence, attacking Trevor as well. By extension, it also tarnished the reputation of
Gracewood Women’s Academy
Trevor and Gerald had long been respected figures in academic circles. But now, because of this affair, Trevor
had fallen from grace, while Gerald was now the one being lauded.
Meanwhile, no one was mentioning Malcolm's affair with his mistress anymore.
Despite all the attention on the Quinton family, it didn’t help them. The larger they became, the more they
attracted attention. The Quinton family needed to act swiftly to suppress the
rumors.
Jacob discovered they were trying to control the narrative, but it wasn’t working. So, they had no choice but to
refocus the conversation on the women’s academy and Rosalind, spreading all sorts of negative rumors about
her marriage prospects.
Jacob could barely contain his anger. A woman as pure as Rosalind was being dragged through the mud by them.
The suitors knocking at the door were becoming more numerous. At first, shad genuinely wanted to marry
her, even though they were unworthy men with questionable morals. Soon after, those who cwere simply
there to humiliate her. A group of misfits, unable to win her hand, started saying strange and rude things. Even
though they couldn't get into the house, they stood outside, claiming they would be kind enough to marry her.
Jacob had his people make note of the names of these suitors, planning to investigate and punish them later.
However, he soon realized that another group was also keeping track of
them.
When he reported this back, Carissa was curious about who was behind it. So, she sent Claire to inquire and

Carissa was surprised. Although the year-end was approaching, Thomas wouldn't be back. until the 27th or the
28th of December. How did he know about this?
Had he recorded these names to exact revenge for Rosalind?
She told Jacob to hold off for now and wait to see what Thomas would do next.
Thomas returned on the 25th of December. The moment he stepped back into the estate, he set the entire
household into motion, directing everyone to buy everything in sight.
Alice was absolutely thrilled. The entire family jumped into action, running all over town from

every direction. For the next two days, they scarcely left the Golden Tower.
The young heir of the Golden Tower, Nathaniel, had given orders that anything purchased by the Farrell family
would be at a 20% discount. If something was in stock, it was given immediately. If not, the craftsmen worked
through the night to finish it.
As for Thomas, he had a list of names and set out with a dozen men to track each of them down. He didn’t do it
to make things difficult for them-he simply instructed that they be at Highstone Estate on the 28th of the month.
Anyone who failed to show up would suffer the
consequences.
On the 28th, the snow had stopped, and the sky was clear.
The air was alive with the sound of drums and trumpets. The procession moved from the Farrell family’s
residence to Highstone Estate. Colorful flowers were thrown every few steps, scattering the petals across the
ground and covering the dirty snow along the path.
Thomas rode at the head of the procession, dressed in a deep sky-blue tunic embroidered with mythical beasts.
A black-and-white fox fur cloak draped over his shoulders. His tanned skin carried a certain boldness, different
from the fair complexions of other noble sons in the capital. The contrast made his sharp features even more
striking.
His eyes were steady, his purpose clear.
Behind him rode a group of young men from his family, while Alice and Opal, along with a few other ladies of the
household, sat comfortably in the carriage.
Curious citizens gathered along the route, whispering among themselves as they watched the procession.
Thomas was clearly going to propose marriage, but to which family?
“It must be the Quinton family. I've heard rumors that the Farrell family wants to propose to one of the Quinton
family’s daughters, the one from the fourth branch,” one person speculated.
“I don’t think so. | heard the Quinton family doesn’t think much of General Farrell,” another corrected.
“No, that’s not it! You heard it wrongly. It's the Farrell family who doesn’t think much of the Quinton family.”
