Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 777

Norman had always valued Gareth’s opinions, as the two shared the same mindset. In fact, Norman also thought of Carissa in the same manner as Gareth did.

Once Gareth spoke up, everyone nodded in agreement, primarily because Norman had shown his support first. He never hesitated to express his approval for his fourth son.

“Moreover, she’s not investigating just any case–she’s dealing with a treason case. The fact that she’s acting on official orders means she could have summoned us to the Supreme Court for questioning. Instead, she came to us directly and waited outside for nearly an hour.
