Chapter 279 Say That Again

Ashley wasn’t foolish enough to take this matter to the King.

She merely wanted to use it to blackmail Oliver and drive a wedge between him and Isolde,

Finished

Perhaps she had realized that Margaret was of little use and wanted to win Oliver over but couldn’t bring herself to do so openly, resorting to such underhanded tactics instead.

Harassing a woman, if it got out, would be more despised and loathed than murder or arson.

She believed that a righteous man like Oliver would surely yield to her threats.

But she was gravely mistaken if she thought she could drive a wedge between Oliver and Isolde.

Isolde was no ordinary woman confined to the inner chambers. She had seen her fair share of deceitful tricks and wouldn’t be bothered by such petty schemes.

Thus, after slapping Ashley, Isolde looked at her coldly, unafraid.

Ashley touched her face, her beautiful eyes burning with anger. Twice now, she had suffered at Isolde’s hands, and both times it had been in plain sight.

The first time, Isolde had thrown her into the water; the second time, she had slapped her. Both actions were direct and unapologetic, not caring if others witnessed them.

Such audacity could only come from someone who either relied on her achievements, her maternal family’s influence, or sheer arrogance.

Ashley wasn’t afraid of people playing dirty. She could see through any scheme.

But she was at a loss when faced with such direct, reckless actions.

She had always believed that any conflict required strategy and cunning, and that no one could outwit her.

She never expected Isolde to be the type to throw wild punches instead of engaging in a battle of wits.

“You’re indeed braver than others. Unfortunately, you don’t have good taste!” As she spoke, she glanced at Oliver indifferently. “He looks like a gentleman on the surface, but underneath, he’s filthy and despicable. Only you would trust him so blindly.”

With that, she walked out as if she hadn’t just been humiliated, her back straight and her steps steady. exuding an air of dignity.

Her posture and gait were strikingly similar to Margaret’s–her neck elongated, her back straight, her steps neither hurried nor disordered, maintaining a balance of grace and poise.
