Carra left Barma alley and went to the second warehouse left to her by her mother.
The second warehouse was located at the end of Olive Street. Since the warehouse was selling antiques and painting, the environment needed to be relatively quiet. Olive Street's warehouse's shopkeeper that Carra did not change was a shopkeeper named Wagner.Carra investigated. Although this shopkeeper Wagner didn't make any achievements, just like his name, he didn't make any mistakes, and he was highly professional.Carra couldn't find another suitable candidate for a while. After doing some kind of findings on the shopkeeper Wagner, she decided to keep him, but he was assigned an accountant so that they could supervise each other. Account verification, outbound and inbound were all registered in detail, and reported to her on a regular basis.By the time Carra finished checking the second warehouse's accounts, it was already dusk. Remembering that she agreed with Madame Mildred today to accompany her to dinner, she feared that the time might be too late. So, under the leadership of Nella, Carra and her maid servant took a shortcut, planning to cross the alley at the end of the street, which could save half of the distance.The alley was very quiet, and there was usually no one passing by. When Carra and her maid servant walked to the depths of the alley, they were suddenly stopped by a group of people. The leader had an extremely wretched face, marked with a scar. He approached Carra step by step and said with a grin. "Oh, who do we have here? Two little ladies. Ah, this one with delicate skin and tender flesh. A machan beauty. I can smell you from afar. Please lift your veil, and let this lord take a closer look."Nella guarded Carra in a panic and summoned the courage to shout loudly. "What do you want? Do you know whose lady this is? You better leave now!""Blah, blah, blah!" Scarface said nonchalantly. "Who cares about who she belongs to. As long as I look at her face, I will let her go. But don't think you can just escape from my hand."The three dark figures next to each other laughed and agreed. One of them with a big mole on his face said. "Ronan, this other little human girl looks pretty too. She's so beautiful. You can give her to us if you don't want to."Nella's face turned pale when she heard this, but she still insisted on protecting Carra, not running away.Carra patted the back of Nella's hand to signal her not to be afraid. She was still a little touched by the loyalty of this girl. Back home in her world, she was an orphan, had no relatives, and few friends. She was a relatively indifferent person in terms of interpersonal relations, and she did not know how to get along with others. She cherished the sincere treatment of Nella and Vira.Nella saw the calm eyes of the young lady, and the panic in her heart was relieved a bit. For some reason, the current lady always had the power to calm people down, and they couldn't help but want to believe her. Such a lady was really rare.Carra looked at the Scarface in front of her coldly, took out a small dagger hidden in her cuffs, and secretly held it in her hand.This dagger was bought at a shop next to her warehouse just now. Seeing that it had a light sharp blade, she decided it was very suitable for making a scalpel. She bought it and planned to go to the iron shop to make a complete set according to this look. The dagger just happened to be available now.Afterward, she said to Scarface. "Who sent you here? Is it a man or a woman, is it young or old, is it one person or two people?" Questions upon question she threw at him, stunning Scarface. She walked lightly to deceive him with her body movement. She put a dagger on Scarface's neck and continued to ask in a flat tone. "That person, did he or she ask you to humiliate us, or to intimidate us, or both?"Scarface was caught off guard and was successfully attacked by Carra. Looking at Carra in disbelief, he seemed to be unable to believe that a charming lady with a knife gesture was so sharp and sharp that his eyes widened, and he didn't know how to react. .Seeing that he didn't answer, Carra's hand holding the knife tightened, and soon, a blood stain appeared on the neck of Scarface. He felt the cold pain and yelled in anger, "Stop it. Take the knife away, or you will regret it."Carra gave a cold snort and was about to continue to ask him when he heard Nella's cry. "Miss, help me!"She turned her head and saw that the other three figures were holding Nella. She was struggling to get free and was slapped several times. After a while, blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.Although Scarface was a local ruffian, he was a true Machan with extra strength, and he also grew up in local fights. His actual combat experience was definitely better than Carra and stronger, too. She was distracted by Scarface, who found a chance and waved the back of his hand in her direction. He knocked down the dagger in Carra's hand and immediately kicked her to the ground."Miss, miss, are you alright?" Nella asked, really hating herself in her heart. She blamed herself for being useless. Not only could she not protect her mistress, but she also dragged her back. Seeing Carra being kicked down, she blamed herself and cried distressedly.Carra fell to the ground, holding her stomach. Although it was not a big problem, she still thought about not being able to defend herself with regret. Sure enough, her actual combat experience was not good enough, and recently, she has been too negligent to exercise. This had made her so weak. If not for the fact that she had Lycan traits, she would have collapsed since.Scarface picked up the dagger on the ground, reached out to touch the bleeding wound on his neck, walked up to Carra, and used the dagger to remove the veil on her face. After seeing the scar on her face, He sneered and said. "I thought you'll be a celestial beauty, but you turned out to be another Scarface. Look at your scar. It's even worse than the one on my face. Who's the Scarface now? Let me give you one more scar then."A fierce light flashed in Scarface's eyes, and he lifted the dagger to mark Carra's face.Carra woke up to the feeling of a burning suffocation. It was as if she was drowning in a sea of smoke while her whole body was being tempered in a fiery furnace. The fiery feeling was completely overwhelming. After some minutes of great difficulties, she opened her eyes and realized the whole area was in flames and the air was filled with smoke.Was she in a sea of fire? What happened? She asked herself apprehensively, but her brain wasn't functioning properly. She needed answers but knew if she stayed where she was, she would definitely be burned or smoked to death. She struggled to get up from the ground, only to find that her clothes were not right, and her shirt and jeans had become complicated long garments. She was stunned, and immediately looked around. Although the fire in this place was big, and she couldn't seem to recall much, it appeared as if something was wrong. However, since the fire was getting bigger and bigger, she decided now wasn't the right time to worry abou
"Miss, our lady just woke up. She's still very weak, so she's resting now. It's not convenient for her to see you at this time, please come back tomorrow." Nella voiced out, trying to dissuade the visitor from entering the chamber. "How dare you?" A sharp voice yelled. The question was followed by the sound of a thunderous slap. "A maid, trying to stop me? You really forgot your position." Carra couldn't help frowning. The wave of disgust that rose in her heart was for a good reason. Audrey Copperstone, the second daughter of lord Livingstone Copperstone, and the first daughter of her mother who was from the Cawthorne family, relied on the love of their father, lord Livingstone and the Cawthorne family. With all these, she was arrogant, self-centred, and typically stubborn. Carra sighed deeply. The former owner of her body did not realize how much she suffered during her lifetime, only because of her weak perception and deceptively uncertain temperament. She could only dare to be a
These people were Carra's father and step mother, lord Livingstone and Angela Cawthorne, who happened to be the new wife of lord Livingstone.It seemed that Audrey went home to complain to them about what transpired earlier.Carra was still in the bed, lazily, when they arrived. Seeing the two entering her chamber, she didn't even bother to get up from bed. Since she was seriously injured, no one would blame her if she didn't get up to give them courtesy. "Father, mother." She called bluntly. She was unaccustomed to addressing them with such titles, so her manner was unnatural. But the two did not care. They were used to it by now.In Angela's eyes, this eldest daughter was a completely twisted soul. Every time she saw them, she always stood aside and wouldn't speak. She didn't even dare to look at them, straight in the eyes. She was not at all like the sweet-talking second daughter who was caring and sensible.When her father saw Carra, he naturally thought of her biological mother
The scar stretched from the area beneath the left ear of the left face to the chin, and it was mottled horizontally. Although the area was small, its color was black and red because of the ointment that was just applied. It was indeed a bit unsightly.Carra did intend to scare Angela. Seeing that she was really scared, she sneered in her heart but put on a sympathetic look. She fastened her veil again, and said. "Please forgive me, mother. I didn't mean to scare you."Angela was quite shocked when she saw Carra's face. She didn't know that Carra was that badly hurt. A young lady who wasn't married yet, and her appearance was already ruined. If the Royal Palace knew about this, could the arranged marriage still go ahead? Seeing Carra lowering her head with a sad look in her eyes, a sense of pity rose in her heart. She might not like this young girl, but the scar had terrifyingly damaged her face, which was something she didn't prepare to see.Noticing the horror expressed on Angela's f
On the second day, Carra took Nella and Vira to the small burnt courtyard. She had lived in this small circumscribed for more than ten years. She was three years old when her mother died, and was brought up by Angela. Angela never liked Sophia. So naturally, it was impossible for her to like the daughter Sophia left behind. When the great lady, Madame Mildred, was around, the Cawthorne family was still able to restraint themselves. So Carra's life was pretty decent then. But since Madame Mildred was disheartened due to the loss of the old man, and secluded herself in the monastery, Angela had become the mistress of the Copperstone castle. Immediately afterwards, she threw Carra to the remotest part of the castle. Over the years, the deserted courtyard was left on its own. And now, the small courtyard burned by the fire had become more and more dilapidated, with traces of smoke everywhere. Since the small courtyard was originally an unmaintained place, Vira deliberately refused to
Madame Mildred was heartbroken after the old man died of illness and her own son also died unexpectedly. She had been living in the monastery for many years now. In the past, Carra had never dared to take the initiative to meet the old lady, for fear of being tortured by the mother and daughter's combination of the Cawthorne family. She just wanted to stay quietly in the small courtyard until she got married. But now, Carra was different. And at this moment, she was determined to withdraw from her arranged marriage to the royal family. A machan woman who had been disfigured, even if she was the eldest daughter of lord Livingstone Copperstone, in the famous Arthurian empire, she wouldn't be able to marry into any good family. And if she did, she would be treated worse than trash. Therefore, from the perspective of her current situation, relying on the big support of Madame Mildred was also the best choice for her. Early the next morning, Carra went to the monastery to see Madame M
Lord Livingstone was also quite surprised when he heard Carra's words. He always thought that the fire was an accident. So why did someone deliberately committed arson in Carra's Courtyard? He looked at Carra suspiciously and said, "Carra, this is a serious accusations. Do you have anything in support of this?" "Yes, father." Carra nodded and said. "Yesterday, I went to the yard to pack what remains of my things, and found something by accident. Something which proves that the fire was not an accident, but a deliberate one." "Sister Celia, are you representing our old lady?" Lord Livingstone looked at Sister Celia and asked. After receiving confirmation nod, Lord Livingstone continued. "Since the old lady sent Sister Celia over, I have to believe you. With our great lady's support, you can show your evidence. If it is true, then I will act justifiably on your behalf." "Thank you, father." After Carra thanked him, she turned and signaled Nella who called out to the group of people st
Carra knew that this man could kill himself if he continued knocking his head on the hard floor. She didn't want Lancelot's life, but just wanted to take the opportunity to establish her prestige in the house of Copperstone. She wanted to let the whole castle know that she was the eldest daughter of the family. She would not be easily bullied again.Seeing that her goal had been achieved today, she stopped the proceedings and said to lord Livingstone. "Father, seeing his condition right now, what about keeping him in the holding room and interrogate him another day?"Lord Livingstone was also concerned at seeing the amount of blood. Since Carra said so, he waved his hand and said, "take him and put him in the wood house. I will deal with him later. But make sure to take care of him."After Lancelot was dragged away, Carra said to the people in the yard with different looks. "Everyone has seen it. From now on, I hope everyone will abide by their duties and do thi
