Chapter 262 Oliver’s Greetings

Finished

When the butler heard this, he lowered his voice and replied, “Prudence is fine, but he’s in a bad mood.”

“Oh? Why are you in a bad mood?” Isolde asked calmly,

The butler said, “A few days ago when Prudence found out that you became a widow and were missing. Prudence was really happy for a while, and her health improved. Later, Clark was reprimanded by the King. her mood improved even more, and she was even able to get out of bed and walk a few steps. However, the good days didn’t last long. When you and Mr. Valois returned with great achievements, you were granted the title of Princess, and the King personally arranged your marriage. Clark also regained the King’s favor. Prudence was so furious that she vomited blood again, and today she’s not doing well.”

Isolde said indifferently. “I’ve disappointed her. I’m really unfilial!”

“What Prudence desires is peculiar. I’m afraid you can only remain unfilial forever,” the butler said.

Nicole and Clark listened to the butler and did not say anything.

Before they could even enter the main hall, Martha hurried out from inside, her face beaming with a smile, “Isolde, you’re back?”

She went forward and grabbed Isolde’s arm. Nicole pulled her away. “Alright, don’t hold hands.”

Martha snorted, her expression turning sour, “Why is it okay for you to cling to her, but not me?”

When Martha saw Oliver, she was stunned for a moment before her eyes lit up. “This is Mr. Valois, right? I’m Isolde’s second sister.”

Oliver said indifferently, “Yes!”

He could tell who was good and who wasn’t, so he couldn’t even be bothered to feign politeness.

The butler knew that everyone did not like Martha, so he went forward and smiled. “Martha, Mr. Valois has brought many gifts. Could you help with the inventory?”

Martha was now very enthusiastic about such matters, as she was constantly trying to find ways to get her hands on some money.

After sending Martha away, Isolde wanted to go to Prudence’s room.

Oliver said, “You talk to Clark. I’ll go
