Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 283

After Carissa finished speaking, Aurora burst into wild laughter.

"You can't even speak the truth, Garissa. Where is your so-called bravery? It's nothing but hypocrisy!" Carissa ignored her and continued, "I remember the arrogant way you spoke when you came to see me. You demeaned women and reduced them to dust. I don't envy you, I only despise you. As a woman yourself, you have no pity for your own kind, and your character is questionable."

Aurora snorted coldly. "Is that so? But even then, you had impressive martial arts skills. Since you found me displeasing, why didn't you take the chance to fight me?"

"Because it was beneath me!" Carissa's eyes darkened. "To me, you were nothing more than a buffoon. I had no interest in engaging with you. Besides, your offenses against me were only verbal, so I retaliated with words. The one who betrayed his promise was Barrett, so my ire was directed solely at him."

"Beneath you, huh? I don't believe you didn't want to kill me back then." Aurora snorted again. "I know your noble ladies are hypocritical and pretentious, but your minds are as narrow as a needle's eye. "You didn't make a fuss with me to preserve your virtuous reputation, thinking the Warren family would support you. Who would have thought they were planning to have Barrett divorce you instead?" Aurora lifted her chin, the black veil over her face swaying with the motion. "At that moment, you must have felt utterly hopeless, right? And enraged?"

Carissa laughed aloud. "What was there to feel hopeless about? With a family like that, it's being trapped with them that's truly despairing."
