Ruby's POV
I caught it immediately - the flash of terror that crossed Bonnie's perfectly composed face.
She was rattled. Finally.
Her throat worked as she swallowed hard before letting out a dramatic wail. "I haven't laid eyes on this man since I divorced Elias. Of course I didn't recognize him instantly. What exactly are you implying, Ruby? Are you pinning yet another accusation on me?"
"Exactly what I said. Edward was your hired gun," I stated coldly.
The room erupted. The elders broke into heated whispers before one bellowed, "Absolute nonsense! What possible reason would Lady Bonnie have to harm you?"
I studied their faces with icy contempt. Now I understood why she'd brought her little army of supporters. She needed men to fight her battles for her.
