Seeing Riley cry so desperately, Zoey felt a pang of sympathy. She knew that if Riley wasn’t pushed to the brink, she wouldn’t be here making such a scene.

“Bring Viola out here. Use any means necessary,” Zoey instructed, her face darkening.

Jane and a few servants left the room.

Once they were gone, Zoey turned to Riley and said, “You came here to replace closure. No matter what she says–whether it’s truth or lies–you must trust your own instincts. Once you’ve listened, you’ll have closure for yourself and will know what to do.”

Riley wiped away her tears, revealing a pale face. She wasn’t exceptionally beautiful, but there was a prideful air about her.

“Thank you, Mrs. Prince,” she said softly.

Bianca also explained things to Zoey and Carissa, clarifying that they were just worried about Riley. Even with so many relatives around, they were only here to seek justice and nothing more.

They hadn’t known about Silas and Viola’s past affair. When Riley found out, she went home and told her family, who had urged her to let go of the past. It had been a moment of foolishness, and Riley shouldn’t let it destroy her current marriage.

Once the matter was smoothed over, life went on.

Ever since they got married, Silas had been a model husband, not causing any scandals or bringing in concubines. But the other day, Riley came back crying, saying Viola and Silas were still in contact. They were seen pulling and tugging at each other in Arcane Sanctum, and Riley had caused a scene.

As parents and relatives, how could they not stand up for her?

Carissa listened to all this family gossip, which felt like a tangled mess.

Even in her feverish state, Zoey could understand. She said, “I understand

your frustrations. While it’s in the past, it is still something dishonorable. It wasn’t a simple interaction and it went against moral principles. One could even say it was disgraceful. This is the wound Mrs. Lewis has carried. But we can’t blame only Viola for that–it was Mr. Lewis‘ fault as well.”

Bianca quickly responded, “We know this well. That’s why Riley’s brothers have taught Silas a lesson. But now, Silas insists on casting Riley out. We can’t allow that. If it really comes to it, they should get a divorce after both parties agree to it. We’re here today because we had no other choice. Please understand, Mrs. Prince.”

Zoey smiled wryly. “There’s no need to seek my understanding. All I wish is for this matter

to be resolved.”

It hardly mattered now–everything had fallen apart, so what difference did it make if it crumbled even more? There would only be more ruin to come in the future.

“Apologies for troubling you today, Your Grace Bianca said, rising to bow, her voice trembling with unease.

“I’m here today in my capacity as the commander of the Mystic Army, representing the Garrison Unit. Family matters should not concern us, but this situation has escalated. Someone reported it, so I’ve come to make sure things don’t spiral further. It’s not about administering justice, just about maintaining balance. Let’s all speak calmly and resolve this matter,” Carissa replied.

From the beginning of this ordeal until now, Carissa had been more of an observer than a participant.

She had a strong feeling that the answer to the question Riley was asking was already clear. Viola had gone to see Silas on purpose. However, Carissa couldn’t say this for certain, as it was only her own conclusion based on what she had observed at the time.

Jane and two other servants dragged Viola into the room. Her face was flushed with frustration as she yelled at them for being impudent. When she saw the large gathering in the main hall, she was ready to turn and leave.

“Stop her!” Zoey’s ordered firmly.

“We’ve reached this point, Ms. Viola. You can’t hide anymore. Madam Zoey has shielded you from everything, and she’s sick. Whatever it is, you need to explain yourself to Mrs. Lewis,” said Jane, who wasn’t about to let Viola leave.

Viola’s face remained cold, and she refused to look at Riley. “What’s there to say to her? She ruined my reputation. I went to buy Snowdrop Pills that day. I couldn’t replace them, so I had to ask him for help. I’ve had no contact with him for a long time, and that previous incident wasn’t as you imagine it to be.”

Riley wiped her tears away, then asked, “You say you’ve had no dealings with him, but you still knew he worked at Arcane Sanctum, didn’t you? Didn’t you know you’d run into him there? If that previous incident wasn’t what we think it was, then what exactly happened?”
