Chapter 1004 Carissa had long accepted this reality. She turned to Travis and asked, “So, has claimed her body?" anyone "Lord Klein said he contacted her family. Her parents are both gone, so her brothers-in-law are in charge now. They said a woman who was cast out and then drowned herself in the river was bad luck. They wouldn't take her back." "What about her husband and his family?" Violet asked.

However, she regretted asking as soon as the words left her mouth. After all, why would they want to take her back once they had cast her out? "Her husband is marrying a new wife in a few days. Why would he help with her funeral?" Travis replied. Violet's brows furrowed in disgust. "He's marrying so soon? That scoundrel has no conscience." Carissa shook her head. "I'm guessing he had someone else lined up already." Violet's eyes suddenly widened. "But she was cast out because she had no children. Did she have a dowry? Doesn't that mean her family lost out?" Carissa sighed. "They were common folk. There wasn't much of a dowry. Even if there had been, it's probably all gone by now. I heard she was quite skilled with embroidery and made smoney selling her work, but most of it went to supporting her family. When they found her body, she only had three coins on her." Violet stood up, eyes wide with shock. "You've already looked into this?" "I went to the Royal Citadel myself," Carissa replied.

She had been as determined as Violet at first and was unwilling to accept the truth. After her investigation, she had cto terms with it.

"When I was asking around, I didn't know her family wouldn't help with her burial," she added.

"If I'd known you went, I wouldn't have bothered," Travis said as he sank into a chair, a dark look on his face. "The body's been at the community burial house for a while now. I went there, and it has already started to smell." "If her family refuses to bury her, what will the Royal Citadel do with her body? They'll bury her, right?" Violet asked.

"They will. But it'll probably just be a quick, unceremonious burial. They might roll her up in a mat and dig a hole to dump her in. A proper coffin? Forget it," Travis said.

1/2 Chapter 1004 Violet had seen much of the world's suffering, but it didn't numb her heart. The last tshe had felt this much anger was during Amelia's death.

Carissa fell silent for a moment before saying, Vivi, arrange a burial for her under the workshop's name. There's no need for a ceremony. Just find a good spot, have someone change her clothes, and get her a proper coffin.” Violet nodded in agreement. “That's a good idea. The workshop's been quiet lately, and there's smoney saved up in the account. We'll make sure she gets a proper burial. I'll let Mrs. Lloyd know. After all, she contributed money too." Travis poured himself a cup of coffee and took a sip, then suddenly recalled something By the way, I heard something today. Duchess Jessica has been cast out by the Marquis of Ironridge's family." "Rod, she's not royalty anymore," Violet said icily. "She's been demoted to commoner. Even as a commoner, though, she still has more money than most of the nobility. I heard she's serRAM: Se 2 fortune quer the years. With her personality and the Ironridge family's generosity, her dowry and wealth will likely remain entirely hers to take.

ΠΠ Travis nodded in agreement. "That's true. She has more money than we could ever dream of." "More than you could dream of, at least," said Carissa and Violet in unison.

Travis's smile froze. He stood up, muttering under his breath, and headed out of the room. When Hannah heard about thee embroiderer's case, she was deeply sympathetic. She immediately cursed the man involved, calling him heartless. After her outburst, she ordered the household staff to handle the embroiderer's funeral arrangements.

Once the instructions were given, Hannah turned to Violet. "Funerals have many taboos. You're stisfybung, spyou wouldn't u understand. Leave it to my staff to handle. Just go and get her full name, birthdate, and horoscope." Violet, relieved, nodded. She wasn't familiar with the customs and had originally planned to ask Frederick for help. Since Hannah was taking charge, it was for the best.

She took out a piece of paper and handed it to Hannah. "Carissa visited and got the Royal Citadet pressa visited these details. Her nwas Hollis Lloyd, and she turned 34 this year.
