Shamed in Public by Best Friend’s Poor Mother For Being Wealthy

“You are nothing but Foul baggage! It is blood and breeding that defines a lady not the reticule full of silver and gold she finds on her dresser in the morning. I'll go in rags before I see a tuppence of your ill-gained fortune go toward my family.” These are the words Lady Walbrook, the mother of Charlotte’s best friend, flings at her in public. Charlotte’s crime was trying to pay for the items her best friend, Hermione, wanted to get. Hermione’s family were on the verge of being broke and all they had left was a good family name. Charlotte, on the other hand, had a lot of money but in the eyes of proper English society, she’s an outcast. A soiled dove. A prostitute whose wealth came from her lovers. Charlotte might no longer be poor but she’s sad and lonely. She can’t even help the people she cares about. There’s a choice to return to being poor and society forgetting she’s a courtesan. Will she take it?
