At Blesertin, Prudence endured the pain etched on his face, silently listening to Clark’s report. A whirlwind of emotions flickered in her eyes–fear, anger, frustration–before slowly fading into calm.

She looked at Clark, her eyes softening. “I know you’re a great grandson, always so kind. Now that you’re serving the King and your future looks bright, I’m really happy for you. “Has the King found you a new place to live? If he has, I’ll come with you. I might be getting on in years, but I can still help run the household for you

Clark’s lashes fluttered slightly as he met her eyes. “The King hasn’t given me a new mansion,” he replied, voice tight.

“Then go beg him! Prudence snapped, a rough edge to her tone as impatience flashed in her eyes.

Clark didn’t respond. He simply covered her with a blanket and stood up to leave.

“Stop… stop right there!” Prudence’s voice trembled with exasperation. She tried to prop herself up, but her frail body gave way, and she fell back heavily, cursing. “You… disobey me, and you’ll die a horrible death!”

Her heart seethed with bitterness. The slightest annoyance made her lash out with sharp, venomous words.

Clark straightened his back, took a deep breath, and walked out without another word.

Hearing Clark’s restoration to the office, Isolde and Nicole were happy. After they finished preparing dinner. they decided to head to The Pearl Tower to celebrate.

While they were drinking, Martha showed up uninvited and casually plopped down next to Clark, giving him a sugary smile. “Brother!” she called out, loud enough for everyone to hear. “I came to congratulate you, -you can’t forget me, right?”

Clark barely glanced at her, pulling back a little and keeping his cool. “Thanks for the congratulations.

Martha raised her glass and grinned. ‘Let me toast to you, Brother!”

She didn’t have her own glass, so she grabbed Clark’s wine glass without hesitation. He looked at her and shrugged. “Drink it. We already had some just now,”

Without missing a beat, Martha snatched the glass out of Nicole’s hand. “Seriously? Can’t you see Brother doesn’t have a cup?” she snapped.

She filled Clark’s glass with a sweet smile, “Here, drink up. After this toast, we can all forget the past. I was a fool back then, easily swayed, I swear I won’t mess things up again.”
