This is to say that she wasn't good enough for Edward Stephens.
Daisy Ginger felt like she'd never been scrutinized and looked down upon like this in her life.
She leaned back coldly against the chair, crossing her arms and sneering, "Ridiculous."
"Was that why you sought him out that day, just to say these things?" Daisy asked. "No wonder his face looked so unpleasant when he came back. If a family needs to use business marriages to maintain prosperity, they might as well go bankrupt. If they can't even ensure their children's happiness, they shouldn't have had him."
"Miss Ginger wouldn't understand the difficulties of the second young master," Charlotte Smith said softly, sighing lightly, "It's his duty as a member of the Stephens family."
What a load of crap about duty.
Daisy only knew that Edward Stephens was married to her, and he shouldn't even think about marrying some other uppity family girl.
