The Swordswoman's Revenge Story after Rebirth

Chapter 266 We Are Different

However, this incident showed that not everyone respected Finnian’s reputation.

Margaret was pleased to see the tension between Isolde and Ashley.

She believed that Isolde’s anger stemmed from Ashley’s sudden shift in allegiance. After spending several days visiting Isolde’s room, Ashley turned around and recognized Margaret as her godmother. Isolde probably felt that she had been played by Ashley.

Since Margaret had started opposing Isolde, she had never won a single battle. Now, even a small victory felt like a good start,

However, what Isolde said next made her very unhappy.

“Since you are now Pablo’s adopted daughter, should we prepare money when you enter the palace?” Isolde asked.

Margaret hadn’t considered this before, so when she heard Isolde’s words, she was momentarily stunned. Her expression then turned displeased, feeling that Ashley had ulterior motives.

Margaret wasn’t someone who cared much about money. She had plenty of it.

But Ashley was entering the palace, so the dowry couldn’t be shabby. Giving away so much for no reason made her uncomfortable.

She said indifferently, “Of course, we will prepare one. Everyone can also contribute to her dowry.”

She said this while looking at Isolde.

Before Isolde could speak, Oliver said. “How can younger siblings contribute to their elder sister’s dowry?”

It was always the elders who contributed to the dowries of the younger ones. It was unheard of for younger siblings to contribute to their elder sister’s dowry. Even giving gifts wasn’t appropriate.

Ashley remained silent. She knew this rule and understood that Margaret was reluctant to part with the dowry. So, she said nothing

Whether Margaret was willing or not, she would have to provide the dowry. Otherwise, what was the point of Ashley’s kowtow?

Isolde looked at Margaret’s pale yet slightly greenish face, which showed the frustration of having tried to gain an advantage but ending up at a loss. She couldn’t help but smile faintly.
