On the carriage ride back, William was fuming as he confronted Agnes, “You said you were bringing me to confront Isolde, but instead, you spouted all that nonsense in front of her. What exactly were you trying to

do!

He was absolutely furious. If Isolde had heard those words, she would surely be gloating and laughing at him for breaking off the engagement back then.

Agnes replied coldly. “If I hadn’t brought you to say those things in front of her, would you ever have given. up?”

“Given up what? I don’t have any feelings for her. I despise her more than anyone. I wish I could tear her to pieces, William spat angrily.

“Brother,” Agnes sighed, looking at him, “Do you think you can hide what’s in your heart from me? If you don’t like her, why did you secretly draw her portrait? You drew it, then tore it up. You like her, but hate her. You tore out the eyes in those portraits, didn’t you? Were you trying to say she made the wrong

choice?”

“You went through my things?” William gasped, his eyes darkening. “Have you lost your mind? What are you trying to do? I’m warning you, don’t you dare step into my room again.”

With that, he shouted, “Stop!”

The coachman quickly pulled the carriage to a halt, and William jumped out.

Agnes watched his angry retreat and shook her head, “So immature.”

When she returned to the Valen residence, Eleanor was peeking out from behind the gate. Seeing that William hadn’t returned with Agnes, she was momentarily stunned before stepping out.

Agnes shot her an annoyed look, “What are you doing out here? Making a spectacle of yourself. Come inside.” C e lings

Isolde only heard about the incident after returning from the manor.

She hadn’t expected Margaret to play such a trick at this critical moment. Moreover, what was the point of merely humiliating her?

Esme, however, saw through the scheme. “It may seem pointless, but the fact that Margaret brought Lillian, Pablo’s aunt, along to do this speaks volumes. As the lady of the Valen household, Margaret holds significant influence within the family. “With Lillian siding with her to target you, it’s clear that Margaret dislikes you, and the other women in the family will likely follow suit and exclude you.

Isolde hadn’t considered this. Like Oliver, she didn’t care much about how outsiders viewed her.

“You may not care, but she does. She’s spent years building her status within the family. You’re entering the family as a princess, no longer the abandoned orphan from the Langley estate. If she doesn’t assert her dominance over you now, how can she maintain her position?”

Isolde, however, felt there might be more to it. The missing items–the goose, lotus seeds, lily bulbs, and betrothal cakes–suggested a more malicious intent.

Regardless, since she wasn’t the one suffering the consequences, Isolde decided not to dwell on it. The deep- seated animosity between them made this incident seem trivial in comparison.

She didn’t want her wedding to be ruined or her mood spoiled, so she chose to let the matter rest.

However, while Isolde had no intention of pursuing the issue, William showed up, accompanied by his sister, Agnes.

Isolde didn’t know how Margaret had been punished, but seeing the siblings arrive at the Langley residence with such ferocity, she could guess that Margaret had suffered greatly.

William glared at her and said, “You drove my mother to attempt suicide. Are you happy now?”

Isolde shook her head, “Impossible.”

Margaret would never attempt suicide. She wasn’t the type to harm herself over minor setbacks. Only someone weak, like Nicole, would do such a thing.

Margaret wouldn’t.

“You don’t believe me? Should I take you to see for yourself? To see how vicious you are?” William’s face was filled with rage, a stark contrast to his usual aloof and indifferent demeanor.

Agnes, on the other hand, stood quietly by, her expression cold and unmoved.

“Did she die?” Isolde asked.
