Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1051

Camila settled into the third room of the Peace Wing, marking the arrival of Skye Embroidery's first true resident.

When Violet saw Camila sitting at the embroidery frame, delicately stitching a flower, she couldn't help but smile with quiet satisfaction.

It had been an arduous start, but it was a start nonetheless. Violet clung to the hope that, in their darkest moments, women with nowhere else to turn might think of Skye Embroidery before considering death.

Elsewhere, Serena had been sent back to her family after her divorce.

Viola was thoroughly displeased, refusing to let Serena set foot in their home again. However, Barrett had insisted on bringing her back to Valor Estate. Furious, Viola stormed off to her own family's home.

In her mom's sitting room, Viola wept bitterly, lamenting Barrett's state. "He's lost his position, he neglects his duties, and he's nothing but a useless wreck of a man! I can't live like this anymore!" Evelyn, weary of the many similar complaints, barely reacted. Instead, she stared blankly ahead and let Viola cry herself hoarse.

"If you can't live like this, then divorce him," she snapped. "But don't think for a second you can come crawling back here afterward! Maybe try your luck at Skye Embroidery-but don't count on them taking you in. After all, you had more than a hand in pushing Amelia to her death."

However, Zoey had no such patience.

Viola paled at the mention of Amelia's name, her sobs abruptly silenced. She had no courage to face her elder sister-in-law's accusations. After sulking for two days at Silverstone Estate, she returned to Valor Estate in shame.

Meanwhile, Zoey made her way to Skye Embroidery and met Camila in person. She had heard whispers of Camila's plight and decided to inquire directly with Violet.
