Chapter 228

Carissa’s hands, which were resting in her lap, curled into fists as she choked back a sob. She turned her face

away, trying to hide her tears and maintain her composure.

Seeing her distress, Anthony suddenly regretted coming. Perhaps, neither family was truly ready to meet under

these circumstances.

Even a man like Anthony found it hard to hold back tears, let alone a girl of eighteen or nineteen. Though she

had seen battle and taken enemies’ lives, she had always been the cherished jewel of her family.

With her family gone, she was left alone.

No matter how strong her outer facade, her heart would still ache with sorrow.

Anthony had never wanted to recall that scene-he never dared to. However, perhaps it was tto confront it.

Otherwise, the pain would linger forever.

His voice lacking its usual steadiness, he said, “We should let bygones....be bygones. One must always look

Carissa lowered her gaze and responded softly, “Thank you.”

Anthony cleared his throat and continued, “We only learned about your divorce from Barrett later. My mother

had intended to send someone to inquire about you, but hesitated. She feared...”

Carissa’s voice, too, was choked with emotion as she replied, “I understand. | really

After a moment of silence, Anthony got down to business. ‘Recently, there have been rampant rumors about you

He further explained, “Since you're to marry the Hell Monarch, you will eventually need to address Grand

Princess Eleanor as your aunt. It’s up to you whether you want to strain this relationship. If you're not afraid of

Grand Princess Eleanor, neither are we.*

Carissa raised her gaze and looked directly at Anthony. She took a deep breath, and said, “I will continue to

address you as | did in the past as my brother-in-law. Thank you for coming in person, Anthony. It means a lot to

me.

“As for how the case should be handled, | leave it to you. | believe Grand Princess Eleanor is not behind this.

However, | did have an argument with Lady Jessica at the birthday banquet. Perhaps Lady Jessica is holding a

grudge and trying to tarnish my reputation.”

Anthony nodded. “I understand. This incident will not harm Grand Princess Eleanor in the slightest. I'm only

afraid they will push the blto a steward. As for Lady Jessica, | will send someone to inquire further.”

“Thank you, Anthony,” Carissa said as she bowed slightly in gratitude.

“It's my duty,” Anthony responded, rising as well and giving a respectful nod. “I'll take my leave now.”

“Frederick, see off Lord Klein!” Carissa called out.

Frederick stepped forward with a polite smile. “Lord Klein, letsee you out.”

As Anthony reached the door, he glanced back at Carissa. There were many things he wanted to say. But in the

end, he only managed to say, “Take care of yourself.”

Carissa nodded in response and watched him leave.

She sat alone in the main hall for a

long time, silent and lost in thought.
