'I fell for Christal's nonsense, thinking that with Ian's temper, if we found him a wife from a family of equal standing and he ended up hurting her during an argument, it would cause a scene with the other family and put Old Quincy in an awkward position.'
'So I hastily found Ian a match who would be easy to control.'
'And now?'
