The Swordswoman's Revenge Story after Rebirth

Chapter 331 Teach Her a Lesson

Margaret pondered for a moment. If no one knew about this, then it wasn’t a trap.

Susan and Ashley didn’t know each other, so there was no reason for Susan to tip Ashley off. Besides, a woman from Vermelle Hall being accepted into the Valen family as a concubine–what an honor! There was no way she’d sabotage such a golden opportunity for herself.

“Enough, you may leave now,”

Baret said.

“Mother, you should rest and stop c ning those ladies. They gossip about you behind your back

anyway,” Agnes advised.

“You go. I know what I’m doing,” Margaret said coldly.

As if she didn’t already know what people were saying about her? That was precisely why she couldn’t hide away. The more she avoided them, the worse the rumors would get.

Agnes dared not argue further and retreated.

Leaving her mother’s courtyard, she headed straight for Eleanor’s.

Inside the room, Eleanor was crying. She had thrown a furious tantrum upon returning, smashing

everything in sight. The maids had tried to calm her down but had all been chased out.

If she asserts her position, you’ll be reduced to serving her day and night. Do you think you could ever hold your head high then? But Martha is different. Like you said, what is she, really? Just Geoffrey’s niece. Clark may serve at court, but everyone knows she and Clark don’t get along. She has no real backing. Without support, she won’t have the spine to mistreat you. And let’s not forget how she’s getting through the door–it’s thanks to us. Once she’s in, a few well–placed words from me, and she’ll know
