Chapter 356 Let Me Help You

Allan’s face turned an alarming shade of blue at those words. Fury coursing through his veins, he barked, “Guards! Send Cristina back immediately!”

Heidi rose from her seat and gently patted Cristina’s hand, her voice calm but firm. “Go back for now. Serving the mistress of the house is your duty–do not overstep.”

Cristina flung her hand away, her face twisting with disdain. “Don’t touch me! Who do you think you are? A wretched omen, a curse upon men!”

Heidi’s expression froze, her hand slowly falling to her side.

Even Allan was stunned. But only for a second. His fury ignited like dry timber in a wildfire.

Standing behind him, Isolde turned abruptly, her face as cold as ice. “Apologize.”

Cristina let out a mocking scoff. “Get lost! Who do you think you are, acting all high and mighty? I wasn’t even talking to you! Playing the dutiful granddaughter now?”

Isolde’s voice remained steady, unwavering. “Apologize.”

“Over my dead body.”

The slap came so fast Cristina didn’t even see it coming. Then another. And another. Isolde struck her across the face again and again until Cristina crumpled to the floor, her cheek burning, her pride shattered.

Cristina clutched her face, eyes wide with pain and rage, and then, like a dam breaking, she burst into tears.

Isolde’s voice was sharp as a blade. “Take her away. She is not to leave her room without my permission. And summon Arthur to the estate.”

Cristina choked on a sob, her voice shrill with defiance. “Fine! Call Arthur! I refuse to believe you have the power to silence me!”

Mell and Evie hurried to support her, their faces grim as they led her away. Cristina’s wailing and curses echoed down the halls, making everyone’s ears sting.

Heidi’s face was pale as she cast Isolde a complicated glance. “That was unnecessary. Let her say whatever she wants.”

Isolde met her gaze squarely. “Such venomous insults cannot be tolerated. You are Grandfather’s wif If she calls you a curse upon men, she is cursing him as well. I will not allow it.”
