Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 890

Barrett called for the shopkeeper of The Grand Vault to come over, asking him to bring the staff along to appraise and price everything. As they cleared out one box after another, Barrett was surprised to find that Rebecca had hidden away gold ingots, as well as a large collection of valuable jewelry.

Tara explained that some of it had been his mother's dowry, while some had been passed down from his grandmother. Since the family hadn't been split yet, it hadn't been given to the second branch of the family. There were also gifts from Carissa, which Rebecca had hidden away when she left the family. Thankfully, Carissa never asked about them.

Barrett instructed Tara to separate the items that had been gifts from Carissa, planning to return them once they were sorted.

Tara sighed. "To be honest, even if you return them to her, she probably won't want them. It might be better to give them to Madam Charlotte. After all, she and Lady Carissa were close."

"Whether she gives them to Aunt Charlotte is her business, but we can't make that decision for her," said Barrett, firm in his stance.

Viola didn't agree. It wasn't about the money or jewelry. She simply didn't want to be involved with the people from Hell Monarch Estate anymore. Since Carissa hadn't taken the items, they could sell or pawn them. Whatever money they got from it would go to Charlotte anyway.

"She won't care about the jewelry. Besides, didn't Amelia pawn some items off before she died? Wouldn't it be better to redeem what she pawned and return only those to Carissa instead?" Viola said.
