Chapter 1206

Jocelyn didn’t say a word, but her face had gone deathly pale.

She still harbored resentment toward Courtney, but who could blame her? Courtney had spoken up for Thomas. The mess with those families was so filthy and disgusting to hear about.

The Farrell family’s household was in disarray, and such vile things happened in an estate that large–wasn’t it right to speak of them?

Jocelyn had acted impulsively when she slapped Courtney, but Courtney had brought it upon herself. She shouldn’t have defended Thomas. A good woman needed to stay away from people like that and situations like those.

Ultimately, Jocelyn was just a sheltered girl. She was unable to keep secrets and was unaware of the gravity of some matters. And so, she shared them with Cassidy.

Cassidy paused her sobbing; looking at her in confusion. “The queen doesn’t like it? But the academy was established by the queen dowager’s instructions…”

“Maybe it’s because Lady Carissa is the headmistress,” Jocelyn said slowly. “I remember when I went to the palace with my aunt, I overheard the queen talking to her. The king originally wanted to take Lady Carissa as a consort, so the queen never liked her. So naturally, she wouldn’t like the academy or the workshop that Lady Carissa started.”
