Chapter 81 Emelia's Pov The hallway was dark, there was no one walking around, except for me. At least that's what I thought. However, I could hear some form of whispering coming from the kitchen. There were two people. What they were saying, I wasn't able to hear nor was I able to see their faces but I could smell something. Pinpointing the name of what I was smelling wasn't possible since I had no idea but what I know is that it smelled like herbs. I frowned and moved a bit closer, figuring that if I could at least hear what they were talking about, I would be able to tell what the herb was. But the two of them were very discreet, they didn't even mention anything regarding what they were doing. After a while, the whole place went silent and then almost immediately, a sweet smelling scent permaded the entire place. “Air freshener?” I muttered, lowering my head. Were they trying to get rid of the smell of the herb? After a few more minutes, after I was sure that no one else was i

Chapter 83 Emelia's Pov “Tell no one else.” I said to her, staring into her eyes. She nodded and walked out of the room, her head lowered. It wasn’t long before a soft knock echoed through my room.“Enter.” I said, not looking up from the package I was preparing on my desk.The door creaked open and a slender maid stepped inside, her steps hesitant, her head bowed. She wore the standard uniform, hair tucked neatly into a bun, but I noticed it again, the same faint pink gloss on her nails that I had seen the night before. She didn’t meet my eyes.“You sent for me, Miss Emelia?”I turned slowly to face her, arms crossed, “Yes. What is your name?”She blinked, startled, “My name is Lina, my lady. Lina Graye.”“Lina.” I repeated, as if testing the weight of it, “Starting today, you’ll be my personal attendant.”Her head snapped up in confusion, brows furrowing, “My lady? I… There must be a mistake. I’ve already been appointed as Lady Cassandra’s personal maid. I can’t…”“My grandfather

Chapter 85 Emelia’s Pov “I have taken an interest in Jade and carving nowadays and this is one of my best works so I thought of bringing it to you as an apology gift. I do hope you like it.” “Like it?” I repeated, “Aunt, this is beautiful and I’m sure it will be very expensive. I can’t accept this.” I moved to give her back the box but she stretched out her hands, stopping me. “I insist, Miss Emelia. If you reject it, I will be very sad.” Cassandra repeated, her tone of voice showing that no matter what I say, she wasn't going to take the gift back from me. “Miss Emelia, it's better to take it. Lady Cassandra can be persistent when she wants to be.” Lina said softly, as she stood beside me, her hands folded neatly in front of her.I looked from Cassandra to Lina, then back to the delicately carved jade bracelet nestled in the velvet-lined box. The soft green gleam seemed to shimmer under the dim hallway lights. It was cool and elegant, exactly the kind of gift that came with expe

Chapter 87 Emelia’s Pov “I was right after all,” I murmured under my breath. My thoughts raced as I paced the length of my room. “A lady in the house gave them to me, however, not blatantly. She gave me a gift earlier and I found out about it by accident.”“A gift?” Miranda’s voice was sharper now, more alert. “What sort of gift is it? By any chance, could it be something that is made with jade?”I stopped dead in my tracks, my mouth parting in surprise.“She gave me a jade bracelet,” I whispered. “But what does that have to do with anything?”“That particular plant has a reaction when it comes in contact with Jade.” Miranda replied, her voice clipped. I blinked, “Wait… What kind of reaction?” “It oxidizes.” She explained, “But only under specific conditions. The asphodel variant you found, assuming that’s what it is, has a chemical compound that breaks down when stored near trace elements of jade. It doesn’t happen immediately, but once it does, it releases a byproduct which is u

Chapter 89 Emelia's Pov “What?!” Cassandra flinched. Not at my outburst, but at the memory. “Yes.” She whispered. Her fingers clutched at the bedsheets so tightly that I feared she was going to rig it apart, “I didn't know until much later, after I overheard it. A lot of people in the manor thought I had done it on purpose, they shunned me. Told me that after the Old Master had treated me like his own child, I would dare to try to kill him. I was the perfect scapegoat for whoever it was that was targeting the old Master.” Her breath hitched and when she looked at me, her eyes were glassy and she looked so fragile, “For years after I got sick, I thought I was cursed. That my body was rotting from the inside because I was unwanted and that's also the reason why Old Master got sick but Esteban was one of the people using me to target Old Master.” “Wait. You said he's one of the people? There are others?” I questioned, eyebrows raised. It seems Cassandra knew more than I thought she
