Chapter 91 Challenging Prudence

Finished

Prudence was surprised. “Marquis of Greystone’s daughter? How could you even think of such a thing? She's a

princess. Would she even consider Bryant?”

Matilda curled her lips and remarked, “She may be a princess, but she’s arrogant and bad-tempered. No one is

interested in marrying her now.”

Geoffrey's face darkened. “Watch your words. Do you not fear bringing trouble upon yourself?”

Seeing her husband's displeasure, Matilda immediately fell silent.

However, Prudence had taken note of her words. After a moment of thought, she asked, “If | recall correctly,

doesn’t Marquis of Greystone also have another daughter?”

Geoffrey replied, “Yes, Princess Sadie is known for her virtuous nature and medical skills. She is highly favored by

the Queen Mother.”

Prudence said thoughtfully, “But even so, she is out of our league. Forget it. Let's first secure a good match for

Nicole. We can consider other matters later.”

“Yes,” Matilda and Geoffrey replied in unison.

Prudence then turned her gaze to Michelle's face and asked, “What happened to you?”

Michelle had been sitting stiffly the entire time. Hearing the question, she immediately fell to her knees. Just as

she was about to speak, Geoffrey dismissed the servants, then said in front of Isolde, “She brought this upon

herself. She has been cast out by the Velmont family.”

-Prudence was shocked. Her face twitched, and anger flashed in her eyes. “How did this happen?”

Geoffrey recounted everything that had happened at Montlins Manor in full detail.

After hearing it, Prudence’s gaze turned icy as she shot Isolde a look. “Why couldn't this matter be handled

privately behind closed doors? Did it really have to be blown out of proportion like that?”

Her anger was evident. In a noble household, one’s honor was tied to the whole family’s name. When one

prospered, all prospered, but when one fell, all suffered.

With Michelle now branded as a discarded woman, arranging marriages for Nicole and Martha would become

difficult. Even the young male members would face obstacles in securing good matches.

Fury surged within Prudence, and she cast another glare at Isolde.

Isolde smiled faintly. “Handled it privately? That was my original plan. But they involved the authorities and

insisted on making a spectacle of it. What was | supposed to do?”

Prudence was seething but could not find fault in Isolde’s response. She merely turned her cold gaze to Matilda

and said, “You were responsible for raising only two daughters, yet you failed with both. What use are you?”

This comment implicitly included Isolde in her reprimand as well.

Matilda dared not speak and kept her head down, enduring the scolding.

sfamily. Our fates are intertwined. If Isolde is doing well, as her mother, you'll also benefit. Would that not

be a good thing? Yet you insisted on siding with Michelle against her. Now that things have turned sour, what

have you gained?”

Matilda resented her sister-in-law for always looking down on her. But since Prudence favored Priscilla, Matilda

knew that if she talked back now, Prudence would only get angrier.

Thus, she kept her head lowered and remained silent.

Isolde had been sitting and watching the scene unfold when she suddenly saw Martha walk up to her and reach

out to pull out the pearl hairpin from her hair.

Isolde swiftly brushed her hand away and asked, “What are you doing?”

Martha, who had just cof age, bore a striking resemblance to Priscilla. She had delicate features, but as the

youngest in the family, she was a bit spoiled and domineering. She pointed at Isolde’s hairpin and said, “Give me

that hairpin.”

Isolde replied flatly, “Why should I?”

“Because | want it,” Martha declared arrogantly.

“That's your problem,” Isolde said coldly.

Geoffrey knew Isolde wasn’t someone to be provoked. Fearing she might cause a scene and upset Prudence, he

quickly smiled and said, “Martha, you like that hairpin? I'll have someone get you a new one later. The one Isolde

has is old. You won't like it anyway.”

Martha huffed in frustration. “No! | want hers! | don’t care for

a

new one.”

Prudence turned to Isolde and said, “Since Martha likes it, just give it to her. It's not worth much, and I'll buy you

another one later.”

Isolde responded without hesitation, “No need. You can buy her one instead. | like this one, and | don’t want to

give it away.”

Prudence had assumed that even if Isolde was reluctant, she wouldn't dare refuse outright. She hadn't expected

such a direct rejection.

Her expression darkened immediately.

Noticing the tension, Priscilla smiled slightly and said, “Enough, Martha. If you want something, I'll buy it for you

later. How could you take what your cousin treasures? Isolde doesn’t have many things to begin. with.”

Martha scoffed, lifting her chin and saying, “How pathetic. Do | lack anything? If you gave it to me, I'd make sure

to send you plenty in return. You're just being stingy!”

Isolde smiled faintly. “What's mine is mine, and what's yours is yours. You said I'm stingy, but you're not much

better off yourself. No matter how pathetic | am, at least I still have my mother’s money to spend.”

As she spoke, she turned to Prudence and asked with a smile, “Isn't that right, Grandmother? After all, my

mother’s money is in your care.”

Prudence said coolly, “Yes, | am managing your mother’s money. What of it? Do you have an issue with that?”

Isolde chuckled before answering, “Of course not. I'm not married yet, so it’s fine for you to keep it under your

care. When the tcomes forto marry, you and Father won't have to prepare wedding gifts for me. My

mother’s money will be enough.”

Geoffrey's expression changed slightly. “Isolde...”

Prudence said expressionlessly, “A young girl always talking about getting married, how shameless.”

Isolde laughed carelessly. “What's so shameless about it? Women have to marry eventually, don’t they? Isn't you

arranging a match for Nicole right now?”

Prudence looked at Geoffrey, her stern face growing even colder. “If | didn’t mishear, Isolde is askingfor her

mother’s money. Is that right? Is this her own idea, or yours? If it's yours, you might as well just askdirectly.

Do you really think | would refuse to return it to you?”

Priscilla and Vance exchanged a nervous glance.

Geoffrey had feared exactly this misunderstanding, which was why he had tried to stop Isolde earlier. Now,

hearing Prudence’s words, he hurriedly explained, “Mother, please don’t misunderstand. How could this be my

idea? | never even considered it.”

Prudence said coldly, “I'm merely managing it for you. It will eventually be returned to you. But since Isolde has

spoken this way, it seems she does not trust me. Well, | suppose that’s to be expected. After all, she’s not my

own granddaughter. It’s only natural for you all to treatas an outsider.”

Geoffrey had always been a caring son. When he heard that, he was deeply mortified and swore, “Mother, please

don’t say that. If | ever harbor even the slightest doubt about you, may | never have peace in this life.”

After that, he scolded Isolde sternly, “You've already taken two or three estates from your mother’s assets. From

now on, do not bring this up again.”

Isolde smiled faintly. “Of course, | won't bring it up when it's not necessary.”

She stood up, gave a casual curtsy, and said, “Grandmother, enjoy your evening. | have matters to attend to, so

I'll take my leave.”

With that, she turned and walked away.
