Matilda was completely rattled, having never anticipated that Isolde had such power behind her. The mention of Southern Watch shook her to the core. Who dared offend Southern Watch? Even the most powerful officials in Eryndral Empire had to show respect to Doug, didn’t they?

If Southern Watch decided to investigate the past, even Prudence’s return wouldn’t be enough to stop it.

“Answer me.” Isolde’s voice dripped with cold menace.

“I… I didn’t participate. I don’t know anything. It’s not my fault,” Matilda stammered, her eyes darting nervously toward Anne.

Anne, however, remained calm. She looked at Isolde and said, “Tsolde already knows everything. You must also know that back then, you had no control over the household. Everything was managed by Prudence, including what Xavier said. All of that was arranged by Prudence. She also gave him five thousand. This has nothing to do with you.”

Isolde lowered her eyes, masking the killing intent behind her words. “Thanks for the information. By the way, there’s something I forgot to mention. Yes, money can move mountains, but paying Xavier to do something isn’t worth it to me. He’s here to speak on your behalf. As for what Anne overheard in the study, did anyone tell you that after Xavier left, Father went out too?”

Matilda’s head snapped up in fury. “You… you were trying to get me to confess?”

“You were only too eager to expose yourself. If you weren’t guilty, you wouldn’t have said anything. Isolde said coolly, stepping forward. “But rest assured, I will keep my promise. I will have my master speak to the Velmont family.”

With that, Isolde turned and left, her movements fluid and assured.

Behind her, the sound of Matilda’s enraged shouting and objects crashing echoed in the house. Isolde had already walked far, but the noise lingered.

Isolde smirked coldly to herself. From the very beginning, this had been a trap.

Her mother’s fate had been sealed the moment she had come to this house. And tragically, her father remained oblivious.
