Zoey wasn't concerned about Evelyn's thoughts. Her concern was to resolve the matter promptly.

Since Thomas hadn't died, the Farrell family would naturally return the pension to the court. The king might grant it again under a different reason, but that was another matter. It was improper and unseemly to keep a death pension for someone who was still alive, and it wouldn't reflect well on anyone.

Without wasting any more time, Zoey took Luna with her to visit the Farrell family.

Upon arriving, they found Alice in a state of delirious joy. The news of Thomas' survival had overwhelmed her so much that she fainted from excitement. Now, she was lying in bed, recovering.

When Zoey explained that they were there to return the pension and the money from the shops, the Farrell family was momentarily stunned. After all, they hadn't expected to reclaim them from Viola.

Zoey smiled and said, "We're all very pleased to hear that Thomas is still alive. Since he didn't die, the pension naturally needs to be returned to the court. The Farrell family has shown great kindness by giving them to Viola. Since she has remarried, it's inappropriate for her to keep them. That is also her own wish. She even wrote a letter to inquire about your health, Alice." Zoey handed the letter to Opal, who was now managing the Farrell family's internal affairs and was thus responsible for reading the letter.

The letter offered congratulations and wished Alice a speedy recovery. It was signed "Mrs. Warren".

Opal nodded slightly as she read the letter, then folded it with a smile. "Viola is very thoughtful. Thank you for your consideration, Zoey." Zoey replied with a smile, "Please take good care of yourselves. Once Thomas returns, life will be better." "Yes," Alice said, her face showing a serene joy. "It will be better once he returns, but I wonder when that will be. I can hardly wait." "It should be soon. Don't worry. Take good care of your health. There will be many things to manage once he's back," Zoey said with a reassuring smile.

Alice sighed softly, "You're right, but I can't help but wonder if he'll resentfor letting them slip away from each other like this." She knew her son and Viola shared a deep bond, yet she had still taken it upon herself to grant Viola a letter of divorce.

Zoey understood what Alice meant, and replied, "If it's meant to be, it'll happen. Alice, don't dwell on it. What matters is that everyone is well." "It's just that she has wasted years of her life," Alice said.

Even though she had seen a different side of Viola that day, she still felt the bond between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"We'll accept the pension, but there's really no need to return those two shops. I willingly gave them to her." "Alice, you treated Viola like your own daughter while she was with your family. She hasn't been wronged. We'll also return her dowry in full, and we've added more gold and jewelry to it. Since the shops have officially been transferred to her name, we can only convert their value into silver coins for you. This way, Thomas' new wife won't feel any jealousy when he marries." Zoey genuinely wanted what was best for Thomas. If his future wife knew that his shops had been given to his ex-wife, it would always be a sore spot that could affect their relationship. After sback and forth, Alice finally accepted. Once Zoey left, Alice asked Opal, "What do you think of Zoey's actions? Is she worried that Thomas will cling to Viola after he comes back?" Opal thought for a moment and shook her head. "It doesn't seem that way. If anything, she's worried Viola might cling to Thomas again." "How could that be? She's already married." Opal knew that Alice didn't pay much attention to outside matters, and wasn't familiar with the situation in the Warren family.

She didn't want to say too much to

avoid causing her any worries, so she replied, "Regardless of what Zoey meant with her actions, the Prince m family has returned the pension and money in exchange for the two shops. This makes it clear that there's nothing more between Thomas and Viola. This way, it will be easier for Thomas to court someone new."

"True, that makes sense. Zoey is a sensible woman. She genuinelym wants the best for us." Opal nodded. En "Yes, she does." But in her heart, Opal felt a bit

confused. It seemed like Zoey didn't like her sister-in-law much. While conflicts between sisters-in-law m weren't uncommon, they usually protected each other in public. Plus, Zoey didn't strike her as a petty person. Why was she acting this way? Oh well, that was a matter for the Prince family.

RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
