Seeing that Zoey didn't want to discuss it further, Carissa didn't press the matter. She stood to take her leave but was interrupted when a servant rushed in, announcing that Viola had caused Evelyn to faint in anger.

1/3 Chapter 904 Zoey gritted her teeth, her face flushed with anger, but she still forced a smile. "Please don't mind it, Your Grace." Carissa wasn't keen to get involved with matters concerning Viola, so she decided it was best to take her leave.

As she made her way to the door, Zoey suddenly spoke again, "Your Grace, may I ask you something?" Carissa stopped and turned. "Of course, Madam Zoey, What is it?" Obviously feeling uncomfortable, she hesitated for a while before finally asking, "Do you know why the Ministry of Justice is holding Barrett?" Carissa was confused. "He's being held? That's impossible. He should have been released a while ago." A The case had already been concluded. Aurora had been taken away, and Barrett wasn't significantly implicated- just demoted with a salary reduction. By all accounts, he should have already left the Ministry of Justice long ago. Zoey smiled wryly. "He's still there. We sent someone to ask and they said he was refusing to leave. But something feels off about it. Who would willingly stay locked up? There must be something more to it, which is why I'm asking you, Your Grace." Carissa honestly hadn't known about this. After thinking it over for a moment, she shared what she knew, saying, "His Majesty showed mercy, only demoting him and docking his salary. He's still the deputy commander of the Nightsteel Guard." Zoey's face darkened at this. She was relieved she hadn't yet used her connections and spent money trying to get him out, or it would've been an embarrassing mistake.

Zoey seemed a bit embarrassed as she explained, "Viola has been m pushing my mother in law to find someone to get him released. I'm afraid she's so upset right now that she's fainted." "I see," Carissa said with a nod. "Then, I'll take my leave. You should go check on your mother-in-law." Carissa didn't want to press further, nor did she want to take up more of Zoey's time, so she turned and left. Back at Hell Monarch Estate, Rafael had just returned. The backlog of cases at the SuprCourt had been growing due to the ongoing negotiations, with many cases waiting for approval.

Carissa stayed with him for a late-night snack, then casually asked, "Is Barrett still being held by the Ministry of Justice, or is there another reason? I went to Silverstone Estate today and heard he hasn't been released. Could His Majesty be planning something else for him?" Since Barrett was now essentially in the sboat as her third uncle, his punishment could affect Victory Pass as well, so Carissa felt she had to ask.

"It's because he doesn't want to leave. The Ministry of Justice can't they do much. After allremoved him from his post, so they can't forcibly kick him out. He's just staying there, and I expect Mr. Lloyd will report to the king tomorrow,” Rafael answered with mild indifference.
