Chapter 161 I Want to Marry Him

Isolde’s thoughts drifted to someone. “Tomorrow, I’ll ask Sadie to come and treat Marley. I’ll leave Hattie here to watch over her. Please arrange a place for Hattic to stay,” she instructed.

Ryker, taken aback by the fact that Isolde could manage to summon Sadie, looked at her with newfound respect. “Understood. Everything will be arranged as you

say.

Isolde pulled out 1,000 coins from her pouch and handed them to him. “This is for the doctors‘ fees. Keep track of the total, and I’ll reimburse you. Also, stay here for now. Don’t return to the Duke’s estate just yet. Take care of things here.

Ryker nodded as he accepted the money. “Understood, I’ll take care of everything.

Isolde’s gaze sharpened, and she added. “Don’t try anything clever.”

Ryker chuckled nervously. “Of course not. I wouldn’t dare.”

The weight on Isolde’s chest seemed to lift after finding Marley. She had a general idea of what had happened to her in the past, but the details were still unclear. She needed to know everything, every last piece.

Prudence was quick in her actions. That day, Collin came to find Isolde and told her that Prudence had begun unloading all the estates and properties she owned. Many of the shops were leased out, but Prudence was determined to reclaim them, even at a loss on the rent. For those who didn’t want to move, she was offering them for sale at a discounted price.

“She has the deeds, and these can be privately traded. She might manage to sell all the properties and estates in a short time. Should we get involved?” Collin asked, worried.

Isolde thought for a moment about Garrett’s return and replied, ‘No need. The properties she holds are still under the Sharp family’s name. Even if she sells them at a bargain, someone might take them, but they’re stamped with her private seal. The Sharp family could pursue her for everything, and she would have to return everything and pay the deposit back.”

Collin laughed. “So, it seems like she’s going to lose out in the end.”

“Exactly. She thinks the Sharp family won’t caresince these were part of her dowry. But once Garrett returns to Argentum and learns the whole story, she won’t be able to escape the consequences.”

Collin grinned. “Sounds like a business opportunity.”

Isolde smiled slyly. “I have a lot of gold, and I’ll borrow silver from the princess. Collin, with your reputation, we can buy up the properties in bulk. When the Sharp family comes after her, we’ll be the biggest sellers, and we’ll walk away with a fortune.”
