Pablo, hearing both Allan and Isolde’s reasoning, took a deep breath and suppressed his rage. “Cristina was part of your household. This scandal has brought shame upon Oliver, making him a laughingstock. Even if she were beaten to death, it would not be excessive. But since you want to handle this, go ahead. Deal with them first.”

Isolde sighed softly. “She may have been in Oliver’s household, but Oliver never officially accepted her. There was no concubine ceremony. Everything was orchestrated by Rosemary. It was nothing but a farce. If Rosemary had other intentions when she arranged for Cristina to be Oliver’s concubine, I believe we should consult her first. If she had a different agenda, then let her take responsibility. We need not bear this disgrace alone.”

Allan furrowed his brows. “You mean…?”

Pablo, however, understood immediately. He nodded at Isolde. “You’re right. Whether it was a joke or serious, it was Rosemary’s word that made it so. If she says it was a joke, then that’s what it was.”

“Isolde, what are you trying to do? I was Oliver’s concubine–I even paid my respects to you! You may call me shameless, but I will not let him escape unscathed!” Cristina shrieked.

Isolde smiled. “Cristina, it was not improper for you to bow to me. At that time, I was Oliver’s wife. Now, you are William’s concubine. Serving me coffee was only natural.”

“Do you think everyone is blind?!” Cristina spat.

“I recall that when Rosemary asked you if you were willing to be a concubine in the Valen family, you agreed. William is part of the Valen family. Therefore, from this moment on, you are his concubine.” Isolde stated firmly.

“Isolde, shut up! This has nothing to do with you! I will not accept her as my concubine!” William roared in fury.

Isolde replied calmly, “William, if you refuse to take her in, do you think Arthur will let this go? If she takes this to the authorities and accuses you of forcing yourself on her, no one will be able to protect you.”

William’s rage burned as he turned on Cristina, his eyes bloodshot. “Why are you doing this to me?!”

Cristina smirked coldly. “If you want someone to blame, blame Oliver. He forced me into this.”

William turned to Oliver, his voice trembling with fury. “Will you only be satisfied when I’m destroyed?!”

Isolde’s voice was calm but cutting. “So, Cristina, you really did drug the incense?”
