Chapter 65 Threatening Matilda

+8 Pearis

Matilda was boiling with anger, unable to contain her fury. When she heard Isolde was here, she stormed out, no longer maintaining the composure of the house mistress. “You still dare to come here? Haven’t you caused enough trouble already? You’ve taken away my mother’s dowry, and now you come to torment me further?”

This time, Isolde’s approach was calm. She smiled and said, “Why be so agitated? When two tigers fight, one will get hurt. If you win, I’ll still be miserable. Do you expect me to throw a tantrum like a madwornan? Since you’ve lost, perhaps it’s time to think about how to turn things around.”

Matilda’s words were filled with venom. Her anger cut deep as she hissed, “Stop pretending. Your face makes me sick every time I see it.”

Isolde stepped closer, her smile never wavering. “Rest assured, if you find me disgusting, I feel the same about you. But you really shouldn’t be this upset today. After all, Xavier paid a visit to you carlier. You must have an idea of what’s coming, right?”

Matilda stiffened, her eyes narrowing. “I don’t know what nonsense you’re spouting.”

Isolde didn’t miss the brief flicker of triumph that flashed in her eyes. She smiled gently and said, “There’s no need to hide it. Everyone knows what Xavier came here for, and it wasn’t to help you.”

Matilda’s expression shifted instantly to one of panic. “You…. What are you saying?”

Isolde kept her gaze steady, her voice lowering to a sharp whisper, “Money can make the world turn. Xavier knows where to find his best reward. Tell me, where do you think he can find the best opportunity right

now?”

Matilda’s face paled, the fury in her eyes mixed with confusion and fear. Isolde pressed forward, “Prudence is cautious, nearly flawless in her methods. The first time she consulted with Xavier, but after that, you’re the one pulling the strings, right? Tell me, if Prudence were to turn the tables on you, who would bear the blame?”

Matilda’s face turned ashen, but she clung to her pride, snapping, “Don’t think you can fool me with your lies. You come here, spouting nonsense, trying to drag Prudence into this. You’re despicable.

Isolde’s voice was filled with cold disappointment. “If you don’t believe me, then I suppose I haven’t been here. I don’t like you, but you didn’t kill my mother, so there’s no need to drag you down with me. But if you can’t see the situation clearly… Time’s up. Fate’s been sealed.
