The Scandal Maker Has Returned [Novel]

“Then let’s say you were the one who did it. Understood?”

Harriet couldn’t bring herself to protest her uncle’s words—once again, he intended to pin on her the accident caused by her cousin, Bella. She had lost her parents and was living under her uncle’s guardianship, after all.

Still, even if she became notorious in high society as a scandal-maker, even if people pointed fingers at her behind her back, she believed that at least her uncle’s family would recognize her sacrifice.

That belief lasted only until she was falsely accused of daring to steal and wear a duke’s brooch, and was cast away to a convent famous for its strictness.

“A scandal-maker? Fine. If that’s what you’ll call me, then I’ll become a real scandal-maker.”

Returning to the capital with a vow of revenge, Harriet is approached by Duke Kailas—the very man responsible for her being sent to the convent.

“They say people change after spending time at St. Clarisa Convent. It seems that was true.”

In his once cold, piercing eyes, a dangerously glimmering curiosity—bordering on suspicion—now shone.
