Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1321

After Jacob's investigation into Willowbrook Estate, he discovered that a few servants had indeed gone missing over the past few months.

He inquired at every pawnshop in the capital, but found out that none of the missing servants had been purchased there, meaning they must have come from elsewhere. He even went to the government offices to check the slave registration records, but found nothing.

Ultimately, after much discussion, it was Violet who decided she would stay at Willowbrook Estate. She told Carissa, "After all this time with Prince Hayden, I trust him. If he truly is the one who would deceive me, then I have no more to say."

However, Carissa wouldn't let her go alone. She insisted that Violet bring Bun and Cynthia along. That way, they would be there to offer protection if anything happened. Besides, if Hayden truly felt threatened, he wouldn't have refused their company.

After all, the more people to help, the better.

On the other hand, if he had called Violet there with ulterior motives, it would soon become clear.

Carissa saw them off personally. As they arrived, she watched Hayden greet them warmly, his face

lighting up at the sight of their arrival. When he heard that Violet had brought two more guests, he clapped his hands and laughed.
