Tang Xiao'nan was quite curious how Goldie Thorne had figured things out on his own. Just a week ago, he was dead set on marrying Beatrice and no one else, but now he was acting as if nothing had happened.
In truth, although Goldie Thorne had been sulking and saying harsh things to Raina, he wasn't a fool. His parents both disapproved of him marrying Beatrice. Even if he forced the marriage, life would be miserable afterward, and the whole family would be in turmoil.
So, he decided to investigate Beatrice's situation himself. If it was true that she'd been with several other men, he would give up on her. He wasn't exactly a broad-minded person and was very particular about that sort of thing.
Goldie Thorne wasn't particularly capable in other areas, but his motley crew of friends was spread all over the township. He'd spent the week staying with them and had asked for their help in digging up dirt on Beatrice.
