The Swordswoman’s Revenge Story after Rebirth

Chapter 60 She Didn’t Do Anything Wrong

Matilda’s eyes widened, her gaze full of rage as she spat, “Are you crazy? If you change the official red–sealed deeds, you’ll have to pay a 10% tax to the government! How reckless can you be? Even if you hate me, you can’t squander the family’s money like this!”

Unofficial white contracts, on the other hand, require no taxes. Regardless of who’s named on them, if you hold an unofficial white contract, there’s always room for dispute, but it is generally accepted that the contract holds weight.

When the Sharp family gave Prunella her dowry, they never changed it to official red–sealed deeds. This was so that Prunella could easily buy and sell without paying the two–percent tax each time. At the time, she had also planned to use the properties to pave the way for Geoffrey’s future. So, when it fell into her hands, she didn’t bother with the official process.

What no one had anticipated was Geoffrey’s rise, and his subsequent fame in the military, which had led to him being honored by the King. After Prunella passed, Prudence inherited a large portion of the estate, still without switching the deeds.

Matilda thought that Isolde would never return to the estate, especially now that Prudence had control. So she saw no reason to bother with the official deeds.

Most importantly, wealthy families wouldn’t be foolish enough to pay unnecessary taxes.

To Matilda, Isolde’s actions were completely irrational.

Isolde, however, calmly retorted, “The name on these documents says Sharp, not Duke’s estate. You should care about your reputation.”

-After that, she calmly walked out with Vincenzo.

Anne and Ryker stepped forward to free Matilda, but she was seething with fury, jumping up and pointing at Ryker, yelling like a woman scorned, “You must be in cahoots with her! Why didn’t you stop her? What did she promise you?”

Ryker was at a loss for words. He had thought that Matilda and Milton would eventually see through Isolde’s devious plan, but now, with Matilda so stubborn, it was clear that he had underestimated her.

“Matilda…”

“Leave!” Matilda snapped, her fury evident. She immediately ordered her staff to throw him out.

Ryker looked toward Anne for support, but she simply gave him a cold, uninterested glance.
