Isolde instructed Jessica to re–register all the farmhands at Montlins Manor and to record any unpaid wages. Once everything was settled, she would send money to the estate to ensure they were properly compensated.

The improvements to their wages and meals quickly spread through the manor. When word got out that they would now have meat to eat every day, the farmhands erupted into cheers, eager to express their gratitude to Isolde.

Before leaving the estate, Isolde called Jessica into her chambers.

Jessica, in an excellent mood, looked far less severe than usual. She was beaming as she praised Isolde, saying, “You truly take after Prunella–not just in appearance, but in the way you handle things.”

“Jessica, sit down. I have some questions, and I need you to answer honestly.” Isolde’s expression shifted to one of solemnity.

Jessica immediately straightened her posture. “Ask away, Isolde. I’ll tell you everything I know.”

“How long did my mother stay at the manor while she was pregnant with me?” Isolde asked.

Jessica thought for a moment before replying, “About a month. Prunella wasn’t in great health at the time, so Geoffrey brought her here to recuperate. She loved the estate, and it did seem to lift her spirits.”

“If she was getting better, then why did she leave in such a hurry?” Isolde pressed.

Jessica hesitated. “It was because Prudence fell ill. Prunella returned to take care of her.”

Isolde found the reasoning laughable. “Prudence fell ill, and my mother had to tend to her? Was there no one else in the entire household? She had been trying to conceive for ten years, finally got pregnant, and had an unstable pregnancy. How could they possibly have let her return just to nurse someone else?”

Jessica shook her head. “I don’t know the details of what happened in the estate. If you want answers, you should find Marley–she was Prunella’s maid.”

“Marley? Do you know where she is now?”

Jessica sighed. “I don’t. After Prunella left, I only saw her once. By then, Prudence had already cast her out. I gave her the belongings of Prunella that I had managed to save, but soon after, I was thrown in prison. Once I was released, I never saw her again.”

She studied Isolde’s tense expression and hesitantly asked, “Isolde… are you suspecting something about Prunella’s death in childbirth?”

A cold glint flashed in Isolde’s eyes. “Jessica, I’m not suspecting anything. And you must not speculate either. I asked you alone for a reason–you understand what that means.”

Jessica, shrewd as ever, nodded. “I understand. I won’t breathe a word of this to anyone.”

Isolde softened slightly. “I trust you and Wade. You both suffered in prison just to protect my mother’s belongings. That kind of loyalty isn’t easily found. I’m leaving Montlins Manor in your care. I won’t be able to stay here, and after I leave, those I expelled today might try to return. Be on guard.”

Jessica’s expression turned steely. “You can count on us, Isolde. Even if it costs us our lives, we won’t let them

Isolde was a person of deep emotions. Even after experiencing the tragedies of her past life, she had not become completely hardened. She gave a few final instructions regarding the farmhands meals, then ordered Helena and Jacqueline to pack up for their return.

Oliver had been tasked by Doug to ensure her safe return to the city, so he rode down the mountain with

her.

As they reached the city gates, it was time to part ways.

Isolde stopped to bow slightly. “Thank you.”

Oliver glanced at her, but said nothing. Without another word, he turned his horse and rode off.

Standing before the gates of Duke’s estate, Isolde took a deep breath. “Let’s go.”

“I’d rather stay at the manor,” Helena muttered.

Jacqueline scoffed. “What’s so great about the manor? It’s full of bugs, the food isn’t as refined, and it’s nowhere near as comfortable as the estate.”

Helena shot her a glare but didn’t bother arguing. Instead, she simply followed Isolde inside.

The estate was eerily quiet. Noelle greeted them and informed Isolde, “After Matilda returned yesterday, Geoffrey ordered her to be confined to Whitmon Chamber. She’s not allowed to leave.”

“In other words, she’s under house arrest?” Isolde asked.

Noelle nodded. “Yes. But aside from that, nothing else.”

“What about Ryker and Matilda’s attendants?”

“Ryker is still here. As for Anne and Amy, they are with Matilda, attending to her.”

Isolde felt a strange sense of disappointment.

She had long since given up hope for her so–called father, but his leniency toward Matilda, compared to the cruelty he had shown her, was still infuriating.

“You shouldn’t be upset, my lady,” Helena tried to console her. “Maybe Geoffrey still wants to investigate things further.”

“Investigate?” Isolde let out a bitter laugh. “What exactly is he investigating?”

She knew it was pointless to expect anything from him.

Not long after they settled in, Matilda’s son, Bryant, stormed in.

Without a word, he started smashing things–tables, chairs, the coffee set–until the room was in complete disarray.

Vincenzo moved to stop him, but Isolde held up a hand.

She simply watched.

Bryant, panting from exertion, pointed a shaking finger at her and roared, “What tricks did you play to make Father imprison my mother? I’m warning vou–fix this. or I’ll kill vou myself!”

Isolde lifted her gaze, staring at her half–brother with cold contempt.

A pathetic coward. And yet, he was the only male heir of Duke’s estate.

“Either you leave on your own, or I’ll throw you out myself,” she said icily.

“You dare? You think you dare?” Bryant’s face turned red with rage, and in the next instant, he lunged, hands outstretched to strangle her. “I’ll kill you, you little-”

Before he could even touch her, Isolde caught his wrist, twisted her body, and sent him flying.

Bryant landed hard on the floor, seeing stars from the impact. Before he could even curse, Vincenzo grabbed him by the collar, hauled him up, and cheerfully said, “Safe travels.”

Then, he tossed Bryant outside and slammed the door in his face. Bryant’s angry curses echoed from beyond the gates.

“Idiot,” Vincenzo muttered.

Geoffrey had returned to the estate earlier and already knew Isolde was back.

Harlan had briefed him on everything that had happened at Montlins Manor.

After listening, Geoffrey merely said, “I see. There’s no one managing the estate’s inner quarters now. I’ve already sent word to Holfaxland for my mother to return. We need to settle Isolde’s marriage as soon as possible.”

Harlan hesitated before responding, “Yes, sir.”

Geoffrey sat in his study, staring at the open book in his hands, though his mind was elsewhere.

He knew he had wronged Isolde. He knew he had falsely accused her. But
