Priscilla stood in stunned silence, realizing that Doug’s words, should they be debated in front of the court, would undoubtedly put them at a disadvantage. The rumors about the “companionship” had started in their own mouths.

Doug sneered, his voice dripping with disdain, “Now that the gift has been delivered, I expect Duke’s estate to treat it well. Daniel Charles has served the Queen Mother for many years. If he is wronged here, it would be an affront to the Queen Mother herself. Consider that, and act accordingly

Daniel, however, had other plans. He turned to Priscilla and asked, “Where are we staying? We st some belongings to move in. Have someone take care of it.”

Priscilla, seething, snapped, “Get out!”

Daniel’s chuckle echoed in the air as he retorted, “Get out? We arrived in a bridal sedan, and you think we’re leaving so easily? Besides, you’re just a junior–who are you to tell me to leave? Call my dear wife to come out here.

When Prudence heard this, she was so angry that she trembled. She gritted his teeth and said to the old maid beside her, “Drive him out!”

“But… he’s from the Queen Mother’s side. Is it wise to throw him out?” the servant asked, hesitating.

Prudence could barely catch her breath, but she still managed to command, “Give him five hundred thousand, and tell him to leave.”

The servant hurried off, delivering Prudence’s message to Priscilla. Priscilla, though reluctant to part with the money, knew she had no choice but to get rid of this unwanted “guest”

“Five hundred thousand? Is this how you treat your husband?” Daniel sneered, unimpressed.

“You, a retired eunuch, come barging in and you think you can extort five hundred thousand? What else do you want?” Priscilla was nearly choking on her fury. She longed to hurl the money in his face.

Daniel grinned, unperturbed. “I’ve entered Duke’s estate through the front gate, and I’m a part of this family now. You think a mere five hundred will send me away?”

Priscilla’s patience snapped. “How much do you want then?” she spat, her voice tight with frustration.
