Lily walked over to Serena and said, "Ms. Warren, you have a head injury. Please come with me so I can tend to it."

Lily had previously worked at Valor Estate, and she was a familiar face to Serena.

Serena was aware that her forehead was bleeding. Though it was only a small amount, appearing at the birthday feast with a bloody forehead would be highly inappropriate. Thus, she reluctantly followed Lily. As Lily attended to Serena's wound, she said softly, "Never covet what's someone else's."

Serena felt humiliated, and trembled all over.

Outside, Violet approached Carissa.

"It was Jessica who pushed her. Clearly, they planned it together. They probably intended for Serena to fall onto your man and force him into marrying her. What's odd is that Jessica seems indifferent to whether the plan succeeds or not."

Carissa replied, "Yeah. When Lady Dakota came out with her grandchildren and then the topic changed to taking concubines, I knew their intentions. They want to make my mother-in-law envious, and push her to make Rafael take a concubine. They're trying to create a rift between my mother-in-law and I.

"As for Serena, they never intended for her to become Rafael's concubine. They know full well that he won't accept anyone from the Warren family. Their real aim was to tarnish Rafael's reputation, making it seem like he ruined a young woman's reputation without taking responsibility."

"Is Serena out of her mind? To think she wants to marry the marshal has she lost her sanity?" Violet found Serena's actions particularly foolish. "After today's fiasco, who would still consider her?" Carissa said calmly, "She's foolish, but she came here with Lady Jessica's backing, which means her mother is also involved. Barrett's status was lowered, and from what I know of his mother, she must be frantic. When people are desperate, they don't think clearly."

Violet agreed with that assessment.
