The atmosphere suddenly chilled.

Asher’s eyes flashed, barely contained anger visible on his aristocratic features. “Grace, it is my choice not to carry you. It has nothing to do with Thalia. If I ever hear you speak ill of her again, don’t expect me to

be so civil.”

Grace continued sobbing. “Brother, I… I…” Her words dissolved into tears.

Victoria whispered in Thalia’s ear: “Want to bet her ankle isn’t actually injured?”

“What do you mean?”

Victoria’s lips curved into a mischievous smile. “Watch this.”

Grace leapt to her feet instantly and sprinted several steps to hide behind Asher. “Ah! A snake! Brother,

I’m terrified!”

The scene froze for several seconds.

Everyone present was too stunned to speak.

A breeze passed through, gently swaying the tree branches.

“Pfft-” After a few seconds, Victoria broke the silence with laughter.

“Wasn’t your ankle so badly injured you couldn’t walk? You seem remarkably sprightly to me. What’s this, then? Playing the wounded victim?”

Realizing she’d been caught out, Grace’s face momentarily contorted with rage before quickly resuming its usual expression.

Her face darkened slightly, her tone displeased. “Victoria, haven’t you heard that people can access extraordinary physical capabilities when frightened?”

Victoria laughed loudly. “Ha ha ha! Grace, do you really think we’re all complete idiots?”

Grace was furious. She raised her voice: “Why would you lie? There wasn’t any snake!”

Victoria smiled. “Oh, there was–it just slithered away. Meanwhile, you were faking an injury to get your
