Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1047

The Marquis of Ironridge's family spent the entire night getting to the bottom of things.

Once everything was clear, Margaret summoned Leopold. She laid out her plans.

"Divorce Serena, bring Jessica back, and invite those storytellers to come and tell the truth. We need them to clear things up." Leopold was already filled with disdain for Jessica. He didn't want her back, and strongly disagreed with Margaret's approach.

"I don't agree, Mom. We should just leave things as they are. People have already been gossiping about me because of what happened to Jessica. After all this time, I finally got some peace when I divorced her. All the gossip outside doesn't concern us-it's all about Jessica.

"If we clear things up now, it will only tarnish our reputation and Emma's as well. She's your niece, and she's also the mother of your two grandchildren. You're being too harsh. Either way, I won't take Jessica back-if she's divorced, she'll stay divorced." Margaret looked at him, her chest tightening with frustration and sorrow. Leopold had a head and eyes, but he was as good as a mannequin. He neither thought nor looked around him.

In families with noble titles and a long history like theirs, the one thing they feared was a lazy and mediocre heir-a disgrace worse than a wastrel.

Margaret's head spun, but she forced herself to push through.

"Lady Carissa has already investigated everything thoroughly. If I don't speak up, do you think she won't? She came here because she still respects me and wants us to handle it ourselves. If this gets out because of her, we won't have anything left to hide behind. Fine, it's your decision now. Ironridge Estate is yours to manage. Whatever you decide, I'll support you."

Margaret took a slight breath, her breathing becoming a bit labored.
