Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 1029

Chapter 1029

The day after Jessica moved into the workshop, rumors about the reasons she had been divorced began to spread like wildfire across the entire capital. Whispers said she had plotted to harm the Marquis of Ironridge’s children, caused trouble with the concubines, and even pushed one of them into the water in an attempt to kill said concubine.

As the rumors spread, someone also revealed that Jessica had been involved in usury.

She was such a wicked woman, yet the Marquis of Ironridge’s family hadn’t handed her over to the authorities. Instead, they had simply cast her out from the household to settle the matter. What truly shocked the people was that Skye Embroidery–of all places–had taken her in, providing her with food and shelter as though nothing had happened.

Carissa had been focused on wrapping up the cleanup operation of the Garrison Unit. She had no idea that Skye Embroidery was facing a storm of public backlash once again. She only found out the day before her operation ended, and immediately went to ask Violet.

Violet was flustered. “Claire looked into it. It wasn’t Molly who leaked the news. I’m guessing it came from the Marquis of Ironridge’s family. They never officially explained why Jessica was divorced, so someone within Ironridge Estate must have spilled the beans. Whoever did it wants to make sure Jessica is completely ruined.”

Carissa frowned. “This isn’t just about ruining Jessica–it’s about taking down Skye Embroidery too. Have you found out who’s behind it? Spreading rumors on such a large scale must have cost a lot of money.”

“There’s someone you know well from Ironridge Estate. Could it be her?” Violet replied.

“Serena?” Carissa thought for a moment, then nodded slowly. “She’s the most likely one. She hates Jessica and despises Amelia too. The workshop is named after Amelia. But Serena doesn’t have the means to do this on her own. She’d need help.”

The two of them exchanged a look, then burst in unison, “Flora!”
