Epilogue
Alex remained unrepentant until the very end. Even after everything had been exposed, he refused to acknowledge his wrongdoing or show the slightest remorse for the pain he had caused.
Lady Hort eventually had no choice but to hand him over to the authorities.
With the evidence against him, he was charged with impersonation, fraud, and every other crime uncovered during the investigation.
However, Alex was not the only person who had to answer for what had happened.
The man who had been working behind the scenes was eventually caught.
To everyone's surprise, he turned out to be an old servant of the Hort family who had served them for many years.
His resentment toward the family had been building for a long time.
He had secretly blamed them for his misfortunes and had allowed that bitterness to grow until it turned into an obsession with bringing them down.
He had taken advantage of the Horts trust and Lady Horts pain to manipulate events from behind the scenes.
