Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1007

Just moments ago, Jessica had been brash and loud. However, the sight of Carissa and Violet instantly silenced her.

She clutched the hem of her dress, her chin raised slightly, unwilling to lower her head even in her fallen state. A pair of small, gilded butterfly earrings dangled from her ears. It was out of place with her shabby attire, as if it was all she had to maintain the last bit of dignity

and respectability.

She had come alone, without even a maid in tow.

It wasn't hard to understand why Hannah was furious. When the workshop was first established, she and Carissa laid down strict rules. Any woman cast out for committing evil deeds or harming others wasn't to be accepted.
