The Swordswoman's Revenge Story after Rebirth

Chapter 355 Not Letting It Go

Cristina covered her face, staring at Isolde in shock and fury. “You dare?”

“Dare? Try me.” Isolde smirked coldly, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth that sent a chill down Cristina’s spine.

She had always looked down on Isolde. Even after she married into the family, her deference to elders and kindness toward servants made Cristina think she was weak–an easy target.

But now, staring at Isolde’s ruthless expression, Cristina realized just how badly she had misjudged her.

“If you dare hit me, just you wait!” Cristina turned and an off.

Watching her retreating figure, Hattie mused, “Who do you think she’s going to?”

“Allan.”

“Why?” Hattie asked curiously. “Would he even help her?”

“Allan despises household conflicts,” Isolde replied coolly. “Besides, he’s a scholar, and he has some old ties with her father.”

“That could be troublesome.”

Isolde chuckled. “Troublesome? What’s he going to do? Scold me for disciplining a concubine? At most, he’ll ask a few questions for formality’s sake–I have my answers ready.”

Sure enough, before long, a servant arrived to summon her.

Isolde adjusted her robes before making her way to Allan’s quarters.

Cristina and Heidi were already there. Cristina’s eyes were red, and a clear handprint marred her cheek. The moment she saw Isolde enter, she glared at her with resentment. Heidi, however, remained expressionless.

Isolde paid her respects as decorum dictated, then asked calmly, “Grandfather, what is it that you’ve called me for?”

Allan’s expression was stern. “Cristina claims you made unreasonable demands of her. When she refused, you struck her. Is this true?”
