Prudence weakly raised her wet and sighed. “Theres ved dogs cadremel her. She is after all, your and Prunella’s

She forced a bitter laugh “Xavier was right. If the stays in the roder, the will rutin everything. A child born to kill

Xavier's words struck Geoffrey sharply. He had tried to bury them, heat now, with Prudence mentioning them,

the pain returned like a fresh wound. The ache in his chest was all too familiar-so intense that it kept him awake

at night.

Prudence’s words, coupled with Isolde’s earlier remarks at the Pearl Tower, overwhelmed him with exhaustion.

He couldn’t bring himself to confront holde, nor could he let Prudence be disrespected. This left him in a difficult

position.

Vance, seeing Geoffrey's expression, immediately interjected. “Whether that ungrateful girl apologizes or not,

you decide. If she refuses, she should at least kneel in the courtyard all day. If you, as her father, fail to discipline

her, Ill do it myself. | won't let her get away with it”

Geoffrey glanced at Vance and said, “Fine. The court's affairs are piling up. You deal with it, then

Vance stood up abruptly. “Good. With your approval, I'll teach her a lesson, and it'll save us the trouble in

the future.”

Geoffrey lowered his gaze, feeling more irritated. This sense of frustration wasn’t new. He had always felt that

Vance was an entitled man, living off his birthright while his parents favored him. He had no real

accomplishments of his own.

As Geoffrey left, Priscilla snapped, “You're clearly siding with that little wench.”

Prudence, disappointed with Geoffrey's attitude, slowly shook her head. “He’s not my flesh and blood. How could

he side with me?”

“Mother,” Vance said thoughtfully, sitting beside her, “Since Geoffrey doesn’t seem to be on our side, how about

we figure out a way to have him officially promise to give the family’s inheritance to Braden? Let's get it written

down, so it’s binding. Then, we'll have a guarantee.”

Prudence shook her head slowly. “This can’t be rushed. He's still young, and even if it’s written down, it won't

make a difference. As long as he’s alive, it’s not our tto shine. We'd be better off using his connections in the

court to secure a position for you and Braden.”

Vance was pleased by this suggestion. “How do we go about it?”

Prudence thought for a moment, a cold, calculating gleam in her eyes. “Perhaps we already have a good

excuse for now.”

Priscilla, understanding her mother’s intent, smiled. “Yes, Isolde hasn't e her father, should make things right.”

Prudence lightly patted Vance’s hand. “Tonight, throw out that medicine. Don’t take it tomorrow either.”

Vance understood and nodded eagerly. “I'll take care of it.”

Priscilla hesitated, then asked, “Should Vance go and settle things with that wretched girl?”

Prudence’s tone remained indifferent. “Since he’s already made his decision as her father, then he must at least

say something. She can’t just keep getting away with it.”

Vance sneered, “Say something? No, she needs to be taught a lesson. If she doesn’t, she won't know who's in

charge around here.”

Priscilla warned, “Don’t underestimate her. She's trained in martial arts.”

Vance scoffed, “So what? Does she think she can fight me?” He snorted angrily. “If she tries, I'll make sure she

learns her lesson, and | won't stop until I've taught her a proper lesson.”

With that, he stormed out of the room.

Priscilla, concerned, asked, “Do you think it'll cause trouble? I've heard that girl’s maids are also skilled in

combat.

Prudence smiled slightly. “Let him go. What trouble could there be?”

“Just afraid of a beating.” Priscilla muttered.

Prudence smiled faintly, her eyes glinting with a cold calculation. “If she doesn’t get beaten, how can Geoffrey

feel guilty enough to pass the inheritance on? Do you really think that Isolde’s misdeeds will make him

compromise?”

Priscilla’s face brightened. “You're right, Mother. You always think ahead.”

At the Pearl Tower, Harlan, feeling bored with the coffee, asked Isolde for swine.

Isolde, who had secretly kept sfor herself to gift to her mentor, smiled and asked Noelle to fetch a jar for

them to drink together.

Harlan, who usually drank alone, now relished the company. After only a half-hour, he was half-drunk.

Isolde sent him on his way and planned to bathe and rest.

But just as she had sent him off, Vance stormed into the Pearl Tower, bringing two other men with him.

Isolde was surprised. Vance was always a coward, only brave within his own walls. What was he doing here.

looking for trouble with her?

Leaning against the railing. Isolde raised a sardonic smile and watched him approach.

Vance entered with fury, immediately accusing. “Isolde, you ungrateful thing, how dare you hum grandmother?

Do you think your father won't control you, and that no one else will dare to discip......e you?”

Isolde paused, then nodded seriously. “Aside from him, who else has the right to discipline me?”

Vance was furious. He stomped over to her, pointing a finger at her nose, shouting. Today, I'll teach you a lesson,

so you won't disgrace Duke's estate anymore.

Hattie and Hazel tensed, ready to intervene, but Eraised her hand to stop them and moved in front of

Isolde, blocking Vance. “So, you're Vance?” she asked coolly

Vance, recognizing her, sneered, “What, are you here to meddle too?”

Esmiled faintly. “You're free to discipline your niece, but don’t think the palace has no say in this. As it

happens, I'm no longer a palace eunuch but a senior servant to County Princess Isolde. You just accused her of

being ungrateful-could you clarify what you meant by that?”

Vance scoffed. “If you weren't a palace eunuch, just a servant in the house, | wouldn't bother with you.”

sme’s smile turned into a sharp, cold expression. “You'd better retract that attitude. You may be allowed to speak

here, but the Duke's estate doesn’t tolerate disrespect. If you don’t know your place. I'll gladly show you what

respect means.
