Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 28

Rebecca's words silenced Theodore and Solomon, leaving them unable to utter a word.

She was right-the Sinclair family lacked capable individuals. In contrast, Barrett was currently in the limelight. Especially with Aurora by his side, their future prospects were indeed promising. 1 "Mom, that's enough. Let's drop this topic."

Barrett didn't want things to escalate. He just wanted to settle this matter quickly and focus on preparing for his wedding with Aurora. He never intended to take half of Carissa's dowry, so he felt guilty towards the Sinclair family.

The others hadn't said much. The Warren family members felt just as guilty but were unable to be vocal like Rebecca.

This was especially true for Beatrice's side of the family. Rebecca's words were particularly grating to them. She sounded like a villainess who had just come away victorious. Beatrice now regretted coming, as the situation left her feeling utterly inhumane.

"Carissa, bring out the dowry list! I know you've hidden it. Since Barrett has agreed to leave you half, let's split it according to the list!" Rebecca ordered coldly.

To prevent Carissa from tampering in secret, she added, "Don't think about using a fake dowry list to fool me. A copy of the original list was made, and it's here in the estate." Carissa smiled. "If that's the case, why not just bring out your copy? Why ask me to do it?" Since entering the household, the dowry list and the keys to the private cabinet in the account room had been in Carissa's possession. It was impossible to make a copy. Over the past year, she had used her dowry money to help with household expenses and medical bills. How could they have made a copy to prepare for today's situation?

Rebecca snorted. "I told you to bring it, so do it. If you don't, you can leave with nothing." Theodore was furious. "You're too much!"

Looking at the woman who had been her mother-in-law for a year, Carissa wished she could slap herself a few times for her foolishness. Her obedience and respect this entire time were not recognized or appreciated.

Carissa brought out the list and looked at Barrett with an icy gaze. "Here, come and take it."
