The Merchant Girl Who Destroyed Nobles

Synopsis

In Brighton, merchants were considered lowly. When young Lord Edward Lanley came to propose to the eldest daughter of the Quinn family, the richest merchants in town, everyone said the Quinns had caught a big fish. The Quinns believed it too. They rushed send my sister off in her wedding procession. But I had heard that Edward had a childhood sweetheart. The night before the wedding, I took my sister's hand. "If you don't want to marry him, I will take you away. There's always a place for us." My sister, dressed in a white bridal gown, her eyes filled with tears, replied. "Charlotte, marrying the young marquis is what I truly want." A year later, she gave birth to a son. I thought my sister had found happiness. Then I came back from doing business in Southport and saw Edward at our door again, asking for another Quinn daughter.
