Chapter 44 Xliii - Sophie

• "Your uncle, Charles, he's been out of his mind ever since he started talking to someone named Emily," Magie said, giving me the response I had expected. "What he did to you on the night of the ball was horrible, but it got even worse after she showed up at our house."
• "Was Emily staying there? What do you know?" I asked.
• "They would always have secret conversations in the office, and when Louis disappeared, Charles became even more aggressive. I was ready to leave him, tired of all the abuse. I was about to grab some jewelry from the safe when they entered the office. That's when I managed to hide and overhear their conversation."
