“If you don’t want to answer, then don’t. If you insist on divorcing, | won't bother seeking out Mrs. Lewis
anymore,” Zoey concluded, done with the conversation.
With tears still streaming down her face, Viola begged, “Please go to her and clear up the misunderstandings.
When | was with Silas, he wasn’t married yet. This isn’t entirely my fault. Besides, you're already helping your
daughter find a match. If this isn’t resolved, how will you find a suitable match in the future?”
Zoey’s eyes hardened, her voice still calm but carrying an underlying edge as she spoke, Your life is what it is.
You say you were born into an earl’s family and have been blessed, but your niece wasn’t as lucky. She was also
born into that searl’s family, but she has to make do with less. It's not wrong to think of yourself, but don’t
drag others down with you.”
“What do you mean by that? Are you forcingback to the Warren family?” Viola asked.
Zoey didn’t answer. She turned away and walked out.
It wasn’t her problem anymore, and she didn’t care.

If Viola was determined to divorce, then even getting Riley's help wouldn't change anything.

Once something like this happened, it was like a tattoo. Unless the flesh was cut away, one would never be rid of
it for the rest of their life.
At Hell Monarch Estate, Violet listened to Carissa’s recounting of the events. Her mouth fell open in shock, and
she was unsure of how to respond.
After a long silence, she finally said, “Why is it that speople, who aren't truly evil, can make you despise
them so much? She and Barrett actually seemed to suit each other.”
Carissa replied, “I'm afraid speople may have seenat Arcane Sanctum today. After all, | only left after
they did, and there were still many people inside.”
“It’s nothing. I'm sure they'll just gossip a little. No harm done,” Violet tried to offer
comfort.
Normally, as an onlooker, one wouldn't be subject to such talk. However, Carissa’s status was different-she had
once been Barrett's wife. With Viola's affair and subsequent remarriage to Barret, even his former wife was
bound to be dragged into the gossip. Her reputation would be tainted alongside theirs.
“Yes, it's nothing. But when those two were fighting, | was just stunned,” said Carissa.

“So, was Riley really formidable?” Violet asked.
“I imagine this has been building up inside her for stime. Once it burst out, she didn’t care about her dignity
or reputation. She just wanted to vent her frustration and curse at someone,” Carissa replied.
Violet sighed wistfully. “I wish | had been there.”
“Being there would have been awkward. Watching women fight-Mr. Lewis was like a bystander too. He was too
afraid to intervene, and he didn’t get involved in the brawl.”
“Technically, shouldn't Thomas have given Silas a good beating? | hope this hasn't affected his own marriage
prospects.” Violet leaned in closer, her curiosity piqued. “What do you think of Jacob's sister as a match?”
“Jacob has already arranged a marriage for her. He is a well-off scholar with a decent family background. His
household is simple-his eldest aunt is married, he has no brothers, his father-in-law passed away early, and his

Violet sighed. “Such a shame.”
“What's such a shabout it? Your godbrother has his own fate,” Carissa said with a shrug.
Violet's face darkened slightly. “But with this mess Viola's caused, things might be more difficult. When Thomas
first returned to court, so many were eager to align with him. Then, when the king delayed assigning him a post,
everyone started pulling back. It was only after he beca general that things settled a bit. And now with all
this, | fear it’s just another complication.”
Carissa smiled and said, “You always talk about not wanting to get married, yet now you're worrying about
someone else’s marriage prospects. | don’t bother myself with others’ marriages. Look, none of my senior guild
members have wives, but I'm not anxious for them. They surely have their own plans.”
“Children of noble families are different from us martial artists,” Violet replied. “We are freer, while they are
bound by rules. For them, not marrying and having children is considered a great disrespect. Cari, | think |
understand now-people live differently, but no way of living is easy.”
“We're not even into fall yet, and you're already mourning the passing of spring?” Carissa teased, a playful smile
on her face.
Violet forced a smile in return. “The more | experience, the more | see... The more difficult things become. It's
hard to stay optimistic when problems keep arising.”
