Chapter 1081

Violet's heart sank. "What are we supposed to do? Just let him continue to harm his daughters? For the sake of his so-called career, he's sacrificing one daughter after another, treating them like mere objects to be given away!"And I just can't understand why he would push Karen to kill herself. With such a vile mind, shouldn't he have kept her alive so that... Ugh, I can't even finish that thought."Rafael picked up his cutlery, took a few bites, then put them down again. He had lost his appetite."Because he doesn't know who the culprit is. The whole thing has already leaked out, and he's afraid there might be consequences. So, it was easier for him to have Ms. Whitley kill herself, deny her being his daughter, and cut off any future leverage. He probably erased her from the family record too," the prince explained.Violet's eyes blazed with fury. "Is there really nothing we can do? Can we only watch as he keeps ruining his daughters? The officials are so corrupt, yet the king w

Carissa personally went to The Golden Tower to see Nathaniel.As a businessman, he was sharp and straightforward. While he wasn't overly meticulous in his business dealings, he worked hard to make money. However, he also had a strong sense of patriotism. Unable to pursue a scholarly path or master martial arts, he had always generously donated to the nation's cause during times of war.He greatly admired Carissa and wanted to befriend her. However, he rarely had the chance to meet her, and being a businessman, it was difficult for him to visit her. So, when she came to see him in person, he was eager to give her a warm reception.Nathaniel had heard a little about the incident at Crystal Springs, but it involved too many sensitive matters tied to officials for him to probe further. What he did know was that a young woman had suffered greatly there.When Carissa said she wanted to investigate the matter, Nathaniel didn't hesitate for a second.He slapped his chest confidently and s

The investigation ultimately led back to the Quinton family.Malcolm was completely unaware of the matter until Carissa explained it to him privately. After hearing the entire story, his fury was uncontrollable, his whole body trembling with rage.He had already made a grievous mistake in the past—fathering a daughter with a mistress—a stain on his reputation that he could never fully erase. If this new scandal were to spread, how could he possibly face anyone? Even if he was innocent, others would assume he was guilty.In his rage, Malcolm ordered the guard involved to be brought forward.The guard, Trey Carter, was a family servant from birth. After learning some skills, he stayed on as a guard in the household. His parents were senior servants in the estate, and it was through them that he learned of the Whitley family's inquiries to the gatekeeper about Malcolm's visit to the hot springs. Later, Trey followed Malcolm and Marjorie to the temple. When he saw Malcolm had not gone

Carissa leaned forward slightly, her tone sharp with accusation as she asked, "Tell me, Lord Quinton, can you withstand being charged?"Malcolm's expression darkened instantly. All he wanted now was to keep things as quiet as possible, to avoid drawing any unnecessary attention. After all, his youngest daughter had just been brought back into the household and was now being raised under the care of his concubine, Willow.And with the matter of the crown prince's succession still undecided, any scandal involving the Quinton family would reflect poorly on Connor as well.At the end of the day, Trey was just a servant. He had only risen to the rank of guard because Malcolm had elevated him. Weighing the situation, Malcolm made his decision without much difficulty, the malice in his gaze unmistakable.Trembling from head to toe, Trey slammed his head against the ground and desperately pleaded for mercy."You wretched scum!" Malcolm bellowed. "You dare beg for mercy after defiling an i

Marjorie had been standing quietly outside the courtyard. When she saw Carissa emerge, she curtsied respectfully and walked her to the gate. She had heard everything from her spot outside."How is the girl doing now?" Marjorie asked softly as they walked."She's staying at the workshop," Carissa said with a faint sigh. "But she hasn't given up on trying to end her own life."Marjorie fell silent for a moment before murmuring, "What a tragedy."At the gate, she stopped and added, "If there's anything I can do to help the girl, please don't hesitate to let me know, Your Grace."Carissa inclined her head. "Thank you, Madam Marjorie. I'll remember that."Marjorie curtsied once more, watching as Carissa mounted her horse and rode away. She remained at the gate for a long while, lost in thought, until Trey's parents approached. They fell to their knees and pleaded with her."Please, my lady, call for a physician to save Trey!"Marjorie's expression turned cold as she looked down at t

The next day, both the Garrison Unit and the Capital Guard learned of the incident. It was said that an assassin had broken into Douglas' home, severely injuring him to the point where he was vomiting blood and nearly died.The physician said that with injuries like his, he would likely end up as a bedridden, drooling mess for the rest of his life, unable to do anything except stay in bed to eat, drink, and take care of other basic needs.Naturally, both the Garrison Unit and the Capital Guard did everything they could to track down the assassin. In the king's domain, to commit such an audacious act against a government official was downright brazen.After some investigation, Carissa uncovered a witness who revealed that a martial artist had come to the capital. Knowing that Douglas had once caused his sister's death, the martial artist had snuck in and beaten him senseless in a fit of rage.Further investigation revealed that the rumors surrounding Karen's defilement were entirely

Violet thought for a moment, feeling a twinge of guilt. She hadn't been able to go back and spend time with her father. Maybe writing him a letter and asking him to send her some money would make up for it—spending his money would be one way to honor him."Alright, I'll write a letter. Please wait for a while," she said."There's no need to rush, my dear cousin-in-law. You can write it tomorrow and send it to me then. We won't be leaving for a few days. Why don't you stay and chat with your cousin for a bit longer?" Yuvan responded with a smile.Carissa's eyes flickered with a cold glint.Was Yuvan still not giving up?Violet turned to smile at Yuvan, unaware of how mischievous her expression was. "Alright then."Carissa shot her a glare.What was she up to now?Violet ignored her friend's warning gaze. She didn't meet Carissa's eyes, treating the unspoken rebuke as though she hadn't noticed.Rafael observed Yuvan's persistent gaze on Violet's face, feeling a surge of disgust.

Violet's patience had worn thin. With a flick of her whip, she chased Molly out, forcing her to shield her head with her hands as she scrambled to flee.Carissa couldn't afford to let her guard down until Yuvan left the city. Knowing his unscrupulous intentions, she sent Claire to keep an eye on Edgeview Estate, making sure Violet didn't defy her orders and secretly visit.For two or three days, Claire kept watch. Violet stuck to her usual routine, returning to Skye Embroidery each day, without once stepping foot into Edgeview Estate. Only then did Carissa allow herself to relax a little.Skye Embroidery and the women's academy were slowly becoming accepted in the city.But one concern about the academy remained: the fact that many people were only coming to build connections. Uninterested in studying, they spent their days bringing pastries, embroidery, and gifts to flatter the women from prominent families.Some of the women from these noble families started to boss around the d

Sometimes, the malice between women could be the most dangerous of all. Trevor may be the royal chancellor and a highly respected figure, but Rosalind was still young. Some of the students would naturally feel reluctant to fully accept her as their teacher.If it were only that, it would be easy to handle. What worried Carissa was that behind the group of troublemakers, there could be someone trying to sabotage Gracewood Women's Academy. Right now, the group of troublemakers seemed to be led by Jocelyn, but there was no sign they were following someone else's orders.With Carissa holding so much leverage over the Quinton family, how dare they disrupt the academy?Her first priority was to reassure Rosalind, fearing the toll it might take on her mood.Rosalind sat in her private study, flipping through a pile of practice sheets in front of her. Her brow furrowed as she examined each page, so deeply absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't even hear Carissa approach.It wasn't until

Carissa nodded and glanced over the other girls' practice sheets. Asking them to work on their handwriting was likely a way to see where their skills stood and ensure they could write neatly.Most of the writing samples were decent, but a few stood out. The delicate cursive characters were meticulously written, each stroke crafted with care, showing no sign of sloppiness or laziness.Setting the papers down, Carissa asked, "So, is this the only thing bothering you? What about all those things they're saying about you and General Farrell? You're not letting that get to you, are you?""Their mouths are their own, so they can say whatever they want. It doesn't stop me from eating, sleeping, or living my life. It doesn't hurt me, nor does it draw a single drop of my blood. So, why should I let it bother me?" Rosalind replied.She even laughed a little as she added, "Although I have to admit, their creativity is refreshing. Using an old story to insult me is at least more original than
