The villainess was never ruined by arrogance. She was ruined by receipts someone wanted buried. As Euan Creil, a corporate drudge trapped in her doomed household, Jason starts tracing inflated contracts, phantom salaries, poisoned medicine, and gossip bought with stolen gold. His only plan is to avoid the execution ground. But the more he cleans House Verdier’s books, the more Isabella Verdier stops looking like a fallen noble and starts looking like the empire’s next crisis.
