Prudence said sternly, “Such insolent servants have no respect for their masters. If they were bought, tie them up, give them a good beating, and sell them off.”

When Priscilla saw that her beloved daughter had been struck, she was furious. Hearing Prudence’s orders, she immediately led a group of older maids brought from Caelmont to the Pearl Tower.

Isolde had been waiting in the courtyard, lounging lazily in an armchair under the sun with Leonis nestled in her arms. The wolf lay drowsily in her lap, and she reclined just as indolently.

When Priscilla arrived, Isolde didn’t bother to stand and greet her. She simply lifted her gaze and said flatly, “Oh? Aunt Priscilla is here.”

Priscilla said with a frown, “Isolde, you may have grown up in the countryside, but you’ve been granted the title of County Princess. How can you behave so improperly? If others see this, they’ll only say you have no manners, and we didn’t educate you well.”

“I really have no manners. Aunt Priscilla, don’t you know that?” Isolde chuckled. “I’m not like Martha, who was raised by you to be so refined and so well–mannered. Whenever she sees me, it’s either to snatch something or to pick a fight.”

Priscilla’s expression darkened, but she ignored the sarcasm. “Martha is young. Yes, she’s a bit spoiled, but you’re older than her. You shouldn’t have hit her.”

Isolde waved a hand dismissively. “Oh, don’t pin that on me. I had no idea she was coming. How could I have hit her? She’s unruly. I can put up with that. But if she lies and frames me, I won’t tolerate it. That deserves family discipline.”

Priscilla hadn’t expected Isolde to be so difficult to deal with, so she gave a subtle signal to one of the older maids.

The maid stepped forward at once. “Miss Isolde Langley, it’s not up to you to decide on family discipline. That’s for Mdm. Langley. But your servants dared to strike Miss Martha Langley. That is outrageous! Mdm. Langley has ordered that whoever laid hands on Miss Martha Langley be tied up, beaten, and sold off.”

Michelle had been born just a few days before Nicole. By right, Michelle should have been the eldest female member among the young generation.

But Prudence and Priscilla had decided that, even among the young generation, birth order could be considered separately.

As a result, those in Priscilla’s household never regarded Michelle as the heiress or gave much respect to Geoffrey’s daughters.
