Chapter 961

Leila had heard that Zoey was investigating the servants in Valor Estate, but she had no idea what it was about. When she was brought in, she wore an expression of complete confusion.It wasn't until Zoey questioned her about having coffee with a friend from her hometown the day before Rebecca's funeral that Leila realized what was happening. She quickly dropped to her knees and confessed, "Madam Zoey, that day, the person I had coffee with was a close friend of mine. She's a maid at Lester Estate. She mentioned she'd be returning to our hometown and asked if I had any messages for my family. She also invited me to go shopping for some gifts together..."Having been questioning for a long time, Zoey grew a bit impatient. She interrupted and asked bluntly, "Did she ask you to pass on any messages to Aurora that day?"Leila thought for a moment, then replied, "Yes, she asked me to tell Madam Aurora that Mrs. Lester would also be attending Madam Rebecca's funeral.""Did she give you

After seeing Zoey off, Carissa and Violet returned to the council hall.Most matters had previously been discussed in the large study, but since Everett had arrived, he insisted that important matters be reported in the council hall. He would remain in the hall from morning until night, listening to everything that was brought before him.Rafael hadn't returned yet even though the negotiations had concluded hours ago. It was likely that he was still in discussion with the delegation about tomorrow's talks.Once Carissa finished reporting the day's findings to Everett, he gave a conclusion everyone was already aware of."It's a case of silencing witnesses—tracing the killer leads nowhere."Kyle spoke up, his voice thoughtful, "Sir, is it possible that Aurora never had to speak with the Westhaven people at all? That someone else already reached out to them and is just focusing all the blame on Dominic?""But Harvey has already fled," Carissa replied. "I doubt Leroy would trust him

Rafael shot a glance at Kyle before striding in. "Sage Everett, why are you making Kyle hold a pot over his head again? With so much going on, I was hoping he could help me out more. If he's always busy being punished, he won't be able to."After hearing that, Everett said, "Then, he's excused from punishment."Outside, Kyle and Winona realized they had found their support.Winona stepped in to report, "Sage Everett, we've swapped out all of Harvey's gold and silver for fakes. Now, all the chests are filled with stones.""I see. Have they discovered it?""When they stopped to rest in a small grove, we knocked them out. When they wake up, they might inspect the chests and will likely figure it out," she answered. "Did you send anyone to keep following them?"Winona wanted to roll her eyes. Was that really a question? Of course she had sent someone. She wasn't a rookie. After all, she was the one who founded Skywing Spire!But since Kyle was still out there holding a pot over

After Rafael had eaten a little of the hot food, they began discussing the day's negotiations.Carissa sat beside him, clearly taking advantage of her position. At least when she spoke out of turn or disagreed with Everett, she wouldn't receive the cold shoulder since she was sitting right next to Rafael."Has the king heard their terms? What did he say about it?" Jacob asked. "Davis reported to him. When he returned to the Diplomatic Affairs Department, he relayed the king's stance. The borderline can't be compromised, but everything else is open for negotiation. We're not bound to the conditions they've proposed. We can offer alternative compensation. That's the king's directive."Everett thought for a moment before speaking, "Not yielding on the borderline means forcing Westhaven to acknowledge the treaty Aurora signed. If they deem the treaty invalid, the borderline should revert to the previous one. But the border dispute has been going on for years. Considering they took adv

Although it was already late February and the weather had warmed considerably, sitting by the entrance with no shelter still felt a bit chilly.The small guardhouse at the entrance of Concord Lodge was available for their use. Inside, there was a brazier for heating water. Seeing that Violet wasn't dressed warmly enough, Carissa led her into the guardhouse to sit and drink coffee."You don't need to stay with me tonight," Carissa said as she poured the coffee. "I'll be fine here."Violet blew on the dark liquid's surface. "It's no trouble. I'll stay with you. It's a good chance to let Claire and the others rest. I'll keep an eye on things."Claire and the others were watching the comings and goings of the Westhaven people, observing where they went and who they interacted with.Lisandra and the officials didn't leave Concord Lodge much, but there were plenty of others in the group. With all the information Barrett and Zoey had gathered, if there really was another hidden plan, Yuv

Chapter 966

Rafael first shared the results of Zoey's investigation with Barrett, giving him a clear conclusion."It's pretty much confirmed that the people behind this used the Lester family to contact Aurora. They had a maid inform her and got her to show up at your mom's funeral. Afterward, Mrs. Lester went to offer her condolences, which gave her the opportunity to speak with Aurora privately. Once she did, both she and her husband were silenced."Barrett was stunned beyond words. "Is that truly the case?"Rafael didn't hesitate. "I'll be straightforward with you. While investigating Eleanor's treason case, the Supreme Court found links to the Lester family. However, we didn't have enough evidence, so we never moved against them. Mrs. Lester's involvement with Aurora indicates that the people behind her are the same as Eleanor's conspirators—the true masterminds behind the treason."Rafael's gaze grew heavier. "Aurora is involved in this case, and she will be taken to Westhaven. However, y

Barrett's eyes instinctively flickered toward the door. It wasn't something he did on purpose. He simply felt uneasy, as if everything he was doing was underhanded. Because of that, he couldn't help but act cautiously.This nervous, furtive behavior only lowered Aurora's guard even further. In front of her, this man was as transparent as glass—what was there to fear?"The thing you mentioned that day…" Barrett's voice was barely above a whisper. He avoided looking directly at her. "I've thought about it a lot since then. I can't help but feel the chances are slim. And you never said how you would ensure the Westhaven envoys will take General Sullivan. Without that certainty, I can't be sure the people of Hell Monarch Estate will intervene, and whether we'll get the right chance at all."His voice was very low, and his gaze towards Aurora was somewhat evasive. He still cared for her as his wife, and asking her questions like this felt like he was betraying her. He felt deeply trouble

Aurora pursed her lips. She did have some money saved up. No matter who managed the household, her portion was non-negotiable. As for the bride price, she had kept some of it for herself—there was no way she would have given it all to the Warrens! The small dowry she had been given wouldn't have been enough to live on, and she would never agree to the marriage without some savings of her own.However, the money she had saved was meant for the future. "You can take it if you need it, but you have to borrow what's necessary. After I escape, I'll be alone and without any support. I can't be left without money. You can't expect me to wander the streets and starve in the cold," she said. Barrett steered the conversation toward money as he knew it was better to discuss that first. Otherwise, pressing for too much information would make him seem too forceful and arouse Aurora's suspicions."How much do you have? I'll look at it, leave you some, and use the rest to hire people. If it's

Barrett still couldn't bring himself to believe it."Grand Princess Lisandra is against the war," he said. "If a female official around her is doing this, wouldn't it go completely against her stance? There's no way she'd agree to it."Aurora let out a cold laugh. "It seems she may not have a choice in the matter."Barrett was shocked. "What do you mean? Are they trying to undermine Grand Princess Lisandra?"Aurora's expression hardened. "How should I know? That's what Mrs. Lester told me, but she didn't go into detail. I don't even know the identity of the female official! I didn't believe her at first, which is why I asked so many questions. But she promised that if I cooperated, they'd help me escape when the time came. Because of you, I didn't press the issue with Dominic. They may not care about me anymore. However, no matter what I confess, I'm afraid their plan will go forward regardless. That means I still have a chance."After the initial shock, Barrett looked at her inte

Rafael quickly returned to Hell Monarch Estate and made his way to the council hall, where Everett was already sitting in the main seat, waiting for reports.Rafael instructed Jacob to gather information on the three female officials who had arrived this time. It was crucial to examine the details thoroughly.-At Concord Lodge, Violet had drunk a lot of coffee and was beginning to feel uncomfortable. She excused herself and told the Westhaven guards stationed there to wait as she went to the inner chamber. Carissa also stood up to accompany her.A maid who spoke Stellish was called over, and they were escorted toward the inner chamber. As they passed by the main courtyard of Concord Lodge, they noticed that the place was brightly lit. Sounds of an argument could be heard from within.Carissa took a quick look and saw that most of the envoys were present, as well as the female officials from Lisandra's side. There were easily a dozen or twenty people inside, arguing. Their voices
