BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie luckily it‘s too big to hurl across the room 🤣🤣 2y

JamieArc Have fun!!! 2y

Bookwormjillk Enjoy! Such a cliffhanger in this chapter! 2y

TheAromaofBooks So did she actually know the contents of both wills?? I honestly felt confused about why she wouldn't hand him what he wanted. Like, it's literally what her job was for the night, to take care of him and get him whatever he couldn't reach from bed. I skipped ahead a little to find out what the wills were, and that left me even MORE confused about how she handled this! 2y

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks I don‘t think she did? I‘m not sure, but I think she is worried that if it benefits her or Fred, the family will accuse her of something, and she is trying to avoid that. I could totally be wrong lol 2y

TheAromaofBooks I do think that's what she was getting at, but it also feels like her unwillingness to help him could just as easily be misinterpreted by this pack of suspicious vultures, so I guess I would have handed him the stuff and let him have his way! 😂 2y

Bklover Mary was frustrating this chapter, although I get her point. I‘d definitely have taken the money. And I‘d have given him the will. It‘s his will and he should be able to tear it up if he want to. @BarkingMadRead Have a GREAT time!!❤️ 2y

Clare-Dragonfly Hmm, I am not reading along so it‘s not fresh in my mind, but I remember it being very clear to me that Mary Garth (the best) is making the more difficult but more ethical choice! 2y

CoffeeNBooks Why wouldn't she just call his lawyer to witness him destroying one of the wills and giving her the money? Then his family couldn't accuse her of anything. 2y

CoffeeNBooks Or am I confused and misunderstanding something? 2y

BarkingMadRead @CoffeeNBooks he didn‘t want anyone else there, I‘m not sure why 2y

CoffeeNBooks @BarkingMadRead It just seems odd, though, that she wouldn't follow his orders about the will and the money, but she followed his orders about not wanting anyone there when that could have solved the issue. Perhaps she thought his vulture family members still would have found fault with that. 2y
