Agnes had been holding back for too long, but hearing Cristina’s arrogance finally pushed her past her limit.

At worst, she would be divorced–why should she endure their humiliations any longer?

Instead of kneeling, she rose to her feet and strode toward Cristina, fixing her with an unflinching glare.

“What? Am I wrong?” Cristina sneered, unfazed. Agnes had always been outwardly deferential to her, no matter how insincere.

Without another word, Agnes slapped her across the face.

Cristina was stunned. For a moment, her mind went blank. By the time she registered what had happened, Madilyn had already rushed forward, yanking Agnes away. “Are you insane? You’re the one who did wrong, and now you’re hitting my daughter? Fine! We don’t need a daughter–in–law like you. Pack your things, and get out!”

Agnes looked at Madilyn’s contorted expression and thought of how she had swallowed her pride for years, spent her own dowry to support their household, only to be discarded like trash. The rage in her heart surged, burning away the last of her patience.

She let out a cold laugh. “Fine! Write the divorce letter. Once it’s done, I won’t even bother packing–I’ll have the house servants gather everything that belongs to me. Everything.”

Madilyn, taken aback by her defiance, snapped, “You dare defy me?”

“Defy?” Agnes sneered. “I am a daughter of the Valen family. I married beneath my station, yet I managed this household, served you, and even sacrificed my dowry to aid my husband’s career. And how have you treated me? You think I’m someone you can just cast aside when it suits you?”

“How dare you speak to my mother like that? I-”

“You what?” Agnes stepped closer, her breath hot against Cristina’s face. “Do you still think you’re some noble lady? You set your sights on Johnathan, only to be crushed by Rosemary. You ended up as Oliver’s concubine, and now you resent your fate. You wouldn’t even commit to your own schemes! You wanted to fake a suicide, but when the time came, you were too afraid to die. You dream of a better life but refuse to pay the price. If you hadn’t been so foolish–if you hadn’t provoked Rosemary–you wouldn’t be in this

mess now!”

“You-” Cristina’s face burned with humiliation. At the word “foolish,” she lost all restraint and lunged at Agnes.

But she had barely recovered from the poisoning–she was no match. Agnes struck her again, sending her reeling to the ground.

Madilyn could not stand by as her daughter was beaten. She rushed in to intervene. Agnes, though sharp- tongued, dared not hit her mother–in–law and ended up taking several slaps herself.

Margaret’s servants, seeing the brawl escalate, stepped in to separate them. However, in the chaos, they also took the opportunity to land a few blows on Madilyn.
