Her Majestic Battle Cry 853

Chapter 853

After Amelia’s death, Viola had no choice but to continue managing the household.

The accounts were in dire straits. Viola was reluctant to dip into her personal savings, so she decided to take a step back and visit Charlotte. She placed the family’s account ledger on the table and suggested

that the older woman take over.

Charlotte was still grieving Amelia’s death. Her anger flared at Viola’s actions, and the older woman immediately flung the account ledger back at her.

She stormed into Rebecca’s room, declaring, “I demand a separation of the family!”

“Isn’t there already enough gossip about us? What do you think people will say if we split the family now?” Rebecca snapped, fuming.

“It’s your sins that brought this upon us! Why should I suffer alongside you? We’re separating the family! When the men come home tonight, we’ll sit down together and discuss how to divide things up.”

“You’re being utterly unreasonable! How can we separate now? The money’s gone, the properties are gone. -what do we have left to divide?”
