The Heiress

Jules watches while Cam reads Ruby’s letters. When he’s done, she asks if he knows who Ruby wrote them to. He points out that it doesn’t matter, as they must’ve never been sent if she found them in the office. He is grateful that Ben and Howell never found them. Jules waits for him to wonder why, if Ben found the safe deposit box key, he never found the letters, but Cam never asks.

Jules loves Cam too much to force him to stay at Ashby House any longer, so she suggests they leave. Cam asks her to pack their bags and promises to be back by dark. He asks her to destroy Ruby’s letters while he’s gone.

After Cam leaves, Jules packs their things, with Ruby’s letters at the bottom of her bag. She goes back to Ruby’s study but doesn’t find what she’s looking for. While she’s searching, Ben comes into the room and confronts her. He pulls out a final letter from Ruby that he found in her study. In it, Ruby tells her reader to take the name Jules, a form of her middle name, Julianne.

Ben threatens to tell Cam, and Jules realizes he would do it just to hurt Cam.
