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.

"Your Grace, Ms. Spencer, you've come at just the right time," Hannah said.

Her face was livid, ashen with anger.

"I've dealt with my fair share of troublesome people, but I've never seen anyone cause this much of a scene! She wants to stay at the workshop and insists we change the name to her own. When I asked what she was cast out for, she refused to say a word."

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.

So, when Jessica arrived, she had to be questioned. But now, she was evasive, not saying a word, and yet still acting arrogant-how could Hannah not be enraged?
