Chapter 29
The events leading up to Darcy seeking out Marceau unfolded as follows.
Darcy was well aware that Ryan would not leave Marceau alone. Concerned for her safety, Darcy kept track of her schedule, although he hadn't assigned someone to spy on her like Ryan had. He made sure to know all of her public engagements, one of which included her visit to the theater where Pitoll's troupe performed.
Pitoll, deeply impressed by Marceau’s help, had proudly announced that he had invited her to the play. This news naturally reached Darcy's ears. Although Darcy had successfully blocked Ryan’s attempts to spread malicious rumors, many still speculated about why Marceau had withdrawn from public life.
Marceau’s position in society was peculiar. She was both envied and despised—receiving admiration for her wealth and newly developing charm, while also facing jealousy and scorn. Her polite and refined demeanor contributed to this complex perception.
“If she doesn’t invite me, I’ll go myself.”
Marceau wouldn’t mind if he showed up... probably.
Putting aside his faint doubts, Darcy headed to her mansion.
They were supposed to meet the next day, but he figured it wouldn’t hurt to visit her a day earlier. After all, this was for Marceau’s sake.
The occasion of Marceau’s return to the public eye had to be perfect.
