It wasn't just dinner. It was everything. It was all the meals. I didn't think I was going to be able to eat with those snobs. I wondered who the snobs should be. By all standards, it should be me. I was the family of the late baron, even though I never knew him but that didn't matter. I was the new baroness and if I signed to taking charge of the inheritance, I was going to have to pay their father his salary. What was their problem? They had to have one if they believed that they could do whatever they wished and go scot-free.

Maybe they thought they had a say in the house because they had lived longer here. I remembered their saying that they knew everywhere in the house. They were having a power trip and trying to show me that I would need their help for a tour of the house if needed. I wondered if they were also being rude because they thought I could be bullied as I was their age mate even though I was the new baroness.

They were silly if they thought that was how it worked.
