“I was talking about the little dog. Priscilla muttered, trying to defend herself.

Prudence, clearly irritated, said, “Enough. You can go. I need to speak with Isolde.”

Reluctantly, Priscilla left. Before she did, she tried to shoot Isolde a venomous glare, but Isolde’s cold, sharp gaze made her think twice.

Vance, though frustrated, was more focused on his own interests. Whenever there was a chance for gain, he would lower his posture and compromise.

Prudence sat up straighter, her angry energy slowly dissipating, replaced by a gentler, more thoughtful demeanor. She looked at Isolde with a kind expression and said, “Isolde, even though you weren’t raised here at Duke’s estate, I’ve always treated all my grandchildren equally. I’ve had people check on you during your time at the manor. When I heard you were well, I felt relieved. Your father may be stubborn, but he listens to me. He’ll understand if I scold him. “You shouldn’t be so stubborn either. You’re a good girl. Why leave? You have a home here, yet you choose to live elsewhere. What’s the point?”

As Isolde stood by, her fists clenched beneath her blankets, her nails digging into her skin, but her face remained calm. She was playing the part of the caring grandmother–but she had her own plans for Geoffrey and Isolde.

Isolde asked, feigning concern, “Is your health improving, Grandmother?”

“It’s fine,” Prudence replied curtly.
