Chapter 205

Carissa laughed softly, her demeanor unruffled.

“I don’t find myself embarrassed at all, but don’t you feel any shame, Lady Jessica?

“You're the daughter of a princess, and you were given a royal education. Yet, you speak such harsh words. You

couldn’t even recognize my senior’s painting, and tore it apart in your ignorance. Such rashness is what will truly

invite ridicule.

“As for tellingto leave, are you issuing an eviction order? How amusing. Grand Princess Eleanor invited me

here with a formal invitation, and | brought a birthday gift. Now, you want to chaseaway? Is this how your

family treats its guests? Or was there another intention behind that invitation-to humiliatein front of these

ladies?

“Did

you

think that after my separation from Barrett, | would be too ashamed to show my face, and that | would quietly

endure your insults?”

She paused, her gaze sweeping across the room.

“If you expectedto be a laughingstock by invitinghere, you'll be disappointed. | haven't done anything

wrong. It is not | who should be ashamed. My family is upright and honorable. No matter where | go, | can speak

loudly and proudly.

“But you, Lady Jessica, lack respect for your elders. You disregarded the concubines of the late emperor. You said

Helen would beca laughingstock, showing neither respect nor devotion. | wonder how your parents raised

you?”

Her eyes turned to Eleanor, her voice sharp.

“But | suppose there’s no surprise there. After all, a mother who would send a small sculpture commemorating

chastity after my father and brothers sacrificed their lives for the country-a clear curse -could hardly raise a

proper daughter. Don’t bother trying to driveaway. People like you are beneath my company. Goodbye, no

need to seeout!”

With that, she called out to her maids, Lulu and Pearl.

“We're leaving. This filthy place isn’t worth visiting again. Who knows what kind of lingering resentment might

cling to us? Look-the air above Harmony Palace, Grand Princess Eleanor’s residence, is thick with the spirits of

people who died a wrongful death.” 1

Eleanor could no longer contain her fury, and shouted, Carissa Sinclair!”

Without turning back, Carissa replied, “You should find a high priest to perform sexorcisms for them, or the

resentment will backfire eventually.”

Wasn't it just about seeing who becthe topic of conversation among the high society ladies in the capital?

Well, Carissa might as well drop a bombshell.

Whether it was true or not, Eleanor knew it well. She wouldn't dare actually call in the authorities for an

investigation-because if they did, the truth would cout.

According to the laws, masters couldn't kill their servants without reporting to the authorities first, and those

who had been treated as concubines couldn't be killed cruelly. Carissa hadn't known this until earlier, when

Frederick mentioned that most of the concubines who had been with Henry had met

untimely ends, advising her to be cautious with Eleanor

Having said her piece, Carissa walked away, leaving Eleanor fuming in anger, shouting in vain.

There was no need to look back or stay. The conversation ended there.

Carissa had cand given her gift, but was treated harshly by the hostess. There was no reason not to fight

back. Others might fear Eleanor, but she did not.

Rebecca stood stunned, never having seen this sharp side of Carissa. Or rather, she had never truly seen the

real Carissa. The daughter-in-law, who once served her so dutifully seemed like a completely different person

now.

Why had someone with such pride and capability ever been content to serve a sickly mother-in-law?

She couldn't understand it, but she also seemed to understand at the stime.

And this understanding made her feel even worse.

It felt incredibly satisfying!

Carissa being her daughter-in-law might not have been her first choice, but perhaps she wasn’t so bad after all.

No!

Helen couldn't think that way. Carissa was still unworthy of her son, Rafael!
