Chapter 371 Prudence Is Dead

Ashley spoke calmly, “Release her. Whatever happens, I’ll answer to Margaret.

Seeing that she was willing to take responsibility, the guards loosened the bindings.

Cristina shot Ashley a glance and said, “Thank you.”

Then, without hesitation, she turned and made a run for the gates.

Ashley’s voice remained indifferent. “If I were you, I wouldn’t step outside.”

Cristina froze, turning back to her. “What do you mean?”

“If you leave now and go to Arthur, do you really think he’ll come to your rescue?”

“Why wouldn’t he?”

“He won’t,” Ashley said with a slow shake of her head.

Cristina scoffed. “You may have helped me, but you’re wrong about Arthur. You don’t understand him–he adores me. He’d never let me suffer any grievance.”

Ashley gave a small, knowing smile. “He dotes on you, yes. But he does not have the power to go against the Valen family.”

“Believe what you want. Go ahead and run to him. But if you do, you won’t just bring trouble upon Arthur- you’ll also get yourself kicked out. And isn’t staying in the Valen family exactly what you wanted?”

Cristina’s expression darkened. “Speak clearly.”

“I already have. If you still don’t understand, then you truly have no sense. Keep making a scene, and you’ll gain nothing but hatred from everyone around you. In the end, you’ll find yourself abandoned, with nowhere to turn.”

With that, Ashley turned and walked away.

Cristina refused to believe her words and was about to push forward when Mell and Evie rushed over and grabbed her arms.

“Don’t be rash,” Mell pleaded. “Tomorrow, I’ll go to Lord Pablo and tell him everything. If you offend Margaret any further, you truly won’t have a place in this household.”

“You can leave?” Cristina asked, narrowing her eyes.

“Margaret only forbade you from leaving, not the servants,” Mell replied.

Cristina hesitated for a moment before finally gritting her teeth. “Fine. I’ll endure for now. But tomorrow, go and inform my brother.”

Mell sighed in relief. “Alright, let’s go back inside.”
