Carissa thought back to how Jessica had been so desperate that she had to pick up a few coins. It was clear she was now at her wit's end.However, the situation had grown increasingly complicated. While Jessica's original intent was merely to get back at Flora's mom, the outcome was far more severe—Flora ended up losing her child.As if that wasn't enough, Jessica later pushed Serena into a lake, fully aware that the latter couldn't swim. This meant Jessica's actions weren't accidental. Her malicious intent toward Serena was clear."I know it's wrong, but I can't help it—I find it a bit funny that Serena got pushed into a lake," Violet said with a solemn face.She quickly muttered an apology and prayer under her breath, hoping to redeem herself spiritually.Carissa frowned slightly. "What I don't understand is how Jessica could be so stupid. She's no longer a duchess and she's not even respected at Ironridge Estate. Her mom's imprisoned and her dad's dead, yet she's still causing

Since their arrival in the capital, Yuvan had repeatedly asked Molly to make contact with Violet. Though they hadn't been in touch for years, they were blood relatives. The more they interacted, the more their familial bond would naturally grow.Carissa couldn't compare to that.Little did Yuvan know, Molly was incompetent and fond of throwing temper tantrums. After a few failed attempts at connecting with Violet, she was unwilling to continue and claimed her cousin was judgmental. She also said that as she was now a princess consort, she wouldn't stand for such nonsense. Besides, if the two were to rekindle their relationship, Violet should be the one to make the first move and come to her.This attitude baffled and angered Yuvan. To get to the bottom of things, he sent someone to investigate whether there had been any hidden bad blood between the two cousins.He learned that there was nothing. When they were younger, they had gotten along well enough. It wasn't until Violet joine

Yuvan returned to the study. There, Wayne set down the scroll he was reading and rose to his feet. "Your Highness, why did Violet come? Has Lady Molly spoken to her?"Yuvan's voice was laced with disdain as he said, "She's a fool. She's associating with Jessica in secret, and even went against Carissa just to help Jessica."Wayne shook his head. "Your Highness, marrying her was a mistake. She has no standing in the Spencer family. Even the head of the Spencer family is unwilling to engage with you for her sake. She's of no help at all.""How was I supposed to know she was this stupid?" Yuvan muttered, sitting down. His eyes narrowed with a dangerous glint."Violet is a hundred times better than her. When she came today and slapped Molly, she warned her and left—sharp, decisive, and without hesitation. Watching her, I felt a deep regret. If I had married her, not only would I have gained the full support of the Spencer family, but I'd also have an invaluable ally. She would be w

In the side hall, Violet coldly watched Molly, who was earnestly apologizing in front of her. If she didn't know her cousin so well, she might have believed her."Please believe me, Violet," Molly said, her voice sincere. "It was Jessica who came to me in tears, begging me to help her clear her name. I only helped her because I was soft-hearted at the moment. After you left yesterday, Prince Yuvan scolded me for a long time. He said the workshop was meant to benefit women, and I shouldn't be spreading false rumors. I've already realized my mistake. Will you forgive me?"Violet didn't believe a word of it.She didn't believe Molly's claim of helping Jessica out of kindness, nor did she believe that Yuvan would ever say something like "the workshop is meant to benefit women".How had Avis, Carissa's aunt and Yuvan's previous princess consort, met her end? Others might not know, but Violet certainly did.She listened calmly as Molly finished, watching as the last two perfect tears of

Wayne let out a quiet sigh. "If it were any other woman, your usual methods would suffice. But Violet isn't just any woman. Ordinary drugs won't work on her."Yuvan raised a brow. "Aren't all these drugs supposed to stir desire? What's different about yours?""Strictly speaking, Your Highness, your usual drug doesn't evoke real desire—it merely awakens physical urges. My concoction, however, is a type of parasitic toxin. It numbs the brain, and after… intimacy, it causes the victim to develop an emotional attachment to their partner," Wayne explained.Yuvan's face lit up with delight. "That sounds like a miracle drug! Why didn't you give it to me sooner? If she becomes attached to me, what I desire will naturally become her desire as well."Wayne smiled bitterly. "Your Highness, this so-called emotional attachment goes against one's free will. It can only last for a short time.""How long?" Yuvan asked."Ten days, maybe half a month at most."Yuvan's eyes gleamed darkly as he to
