Before Doug could respond, Samiyah, who had been gloating over Isolde’s imminent downfall, suddenly crupted in fury. “Stop pretending to be pitifull You vile little whore! If not for you, would my Eleanor be in this state? And now you dare act innocent? I’ll rip your filthy mouth apart!“

Dong let out two sharp clicks of his tongue, his face darkening. His voice took on a mocking, sharp tone, “And here I was wondering who this loudmouthed old cow was Turns out it’s Milton’s wife. His gaze sharpened.

“Has the County Princess been convicted yet? No? Then who gave you the right to tear her mouth apart? I’m still alive, you know,”

Doug’s gaze turned sharp. He pressed a hand down slightly, his mocking expression deepening. “Isn’t this estate the one left for the County Princess by Mrs. Prunella Langley? If anyone should be showing me around, wouldn’t it be her?”

Milton’s forced smile didn’t falter. “I’m afraid the County Princess won’t be able to accompany you.”

He turned to Tyler, his tone carrying an implicit threat. “Tyler, wouldn’t you say so?”
