Zoey arrived with Jane in tow. When she heard her daughter had been struck, she rushed to check on her. Courtney's face was swollen and there was a thin scratch across it. But seeing that Catherine had already treated the wound, Zoey quickly reassured her daughter with a few comforting words. Then, without delay, she headed to Elegance Grove to express her gratitude to Catherine.The two mothers, Vera and Zoey, took their seats. Carissa spoke first, explaining the situation clearly. Once everything was laid out, she sent for Jocelyn and Courtney to join them, accompanied by several students as witnesses to make it easier for the two women to question them.Vera's face darkened. She was upset with Jocelyn for being so unwise and for bringing such a matter to the academy. But more so, she seethed at Courtney's words—how could she say that Thomas had no interest in her daughter? If word of it got out, such rumors could ruin her daughter's reputation!But in the end, it was Jocelyn who

Wrenching her arm free from her mother's grip, Jocelyn shouted, "I won't apologize! What are you going to do about it? If you're so bold, why don't you hit me back?"She thrust her tear-streaked face toward Zoey, her cheeks flushed, as if bearing a heavy injustice.Naturally, Zoey would never strike her, but a cold laugh escaped her lips. "Very well. In that case, I'll go to the Quinton family and ask Lord Gerald what kind of upbringing you've had there."She turned to Carissa. "Headmistress, it would be a great help if you could vouch for me when the time comes."Carissa nodded. "If you go to see Lord Gerald, I will speak plainly."Vera knew it would be disastrous if word of this reached Gerald. If he heard of it, their branch of the family would surely be reprimanded.With that thought, she gritted her teeth and said to Jocelyn, "Apologize."Tears streamed down Jocelyn's face as she stomped her foot. "Mom, I won't apologize! They're the ones bullying me and trying to kick me o

Carissa left the academy with Zoey. Instead of riding her own horse, she had someone lead it while she sat in Zoey's carriage.Carissa had two things to tell her.First, she said, "Isaac selected some goods that weren't of the best quality and sold them. The money from the sales wasn't converted to banknotes, and it's all been stored in the cellar at Glimmering Tower.""It's what the Earl of Silverstone's family owes him. He should feel free to spend it. I've put some aside as well, just in case," Zoey softly replied."He won't spend it. He doesn't need the money," Carissa said.Then, she moved on to the second topic, explaining, "As for Celeste, His Majesty has confirmed her identity. He knows she's taken a woman from Lunvale as her godmother. As for the surname Spencer, it's from a branch of the Spencer family in Ebonflow. They do business in Lunvale as well."The person you found out she was conspiring with is likely from the Spencer family. It would be better if His Majesty m

Back at the Quinton family's residence, Malcolm summoned the members of the fourth branch and unleashed his fury upon them."Malcolm, we were only following Her Majesty's wishes," Vera said, looking aggrieved. "I had planned to propose the third son of the Marquis of Glandale for Jocelyn's marriage, but Her Majesty insisted that we needed military support."She revealed the situation where Kylie had nearly arranged the marriage between Jocelyn and Thomas but had been stopped by Victoria.Her voice grew sharper, adding, "The Farrell family is too proud, don't you think? Do they think a Quinton family daughter isn't worthy of their son? They're looking down on us!""Why should the Farrell family think highly of the Quinton family?" Malcolm retorted sharply. "Have we ever considered the Farrell family's stature in the same light?"Malcolm realized that somehow, his family had begun to expect respect and deference from everyone, as though they were untouchable.The fear began to sett

Apart from being a mentor, Violet had formed a small team with Alana, Leah, and the others. Together, they had taken it upon themselves to track down rapists who had been causing trouble in the city.At first, Violet had thought it would be a simple task: catch the culprits, force them to confess, and send them off to the authorities. But when they arrived at the authorities, the culprits claimed they had only confessed because they had been beaten up.Alana had quietly approached the young women who had been victimized, hoping they might speak up. But one by one, they denied that anything had happened. Some even turned them away as soon as they saw Alana or anyone from her group.Without any evidence to back up the claims of their crimes, the authorities had no choice but to release the culprits.Violet's frustration grew with every failed attempt. At times, she was filled with a murderous urge, and the thought of dealing with the culprits in the same ruthless manner she would hav
