Rafael and Dylan led the way on horseback, while the carriage followed slowly behind.
Helen grasped Carissa’s hand, her excitement almost impossible to contain. “I truly didn’t expect you to
successfully get all the money back. Others may not be aware, but | know Grand Princess Eleanor very well. She
may appear amiable to everyone, but in reality, she’s quite domineering.”
Carissa gently pulled her hand away. “Now that you know what kind of person she is, it’s best to keep
Interactions with her to a minimum in the future.”
Helen nodded, but her expression grew worried. “I'm just concerned that if we fall out with her, she might speak
ill of us in front of other ladies and tarnish our reputation.”
“What's there to worry about?” Carissa said dismissively.

“Of course, you're not concerned. Your reputation is already in tatters, but I've just left the palace and can’t
afford to gain a bad name.”
Carissa gave her mother-in-law a sidelong glance. Helen was really harsh with words, especially when speaking
to those she considered her own.
Helen quickly realized her mistake and tried to clarify, That's not what | meant. It's just that Kiera is currently
looking for a husband. Eleanor has connections with many prominent families, so I'm worried she might spread
rumors that could harm Kiera’s reputation.”
“Kiera is a high princess, and she’s protected by the king and queen. She also has the backing of the Hell
Monarch’s household. Who would dare gossip about her? They'd be courting disaster,” Carissa responded.
She recalled her conversation with the queen, who seemed keen on having Logan marry Kiera. Carissa planned
to first learn about Logan’s character. If he was trustworthy, she would then discuss her thoughts
with Kiera.
Naturally, she would also need to ask Logan about his intentions. After her falled marriage with Barrett, Carissa
felt that simply following parental orders and the advice of matchmakers was no longer sufficient -mutual
agreement between the two people involved in the marriage was crucial.
“Are you upset?” Helen asked after Carissa had been silent for a while.
“I'm not upset,” Carissa said, pushing those thoughts to the side. “I was just thinking about a few things.”
Helen generously said, “You don’t need to worry about it. | said | would give you half if you got the money back
for me. | promise | won't go back on my word.”
Carissa chuckled softly. “Please keep your money, Mother. | can’t accept it from you.”
“You don’t want it?” Helen was puzzled. “If you don’t want it, why did you go to such lengths to confront Grand
Princess Eleanor for me?”
“You're my mother-in-law. If Aunt Eleanor and Jessica deceived you and took your money, isn’t it only right for
Helen glanced at her daughter-in-law’s calm profile, recalling the tat Harmony Palace when they had been
reviewing the accounts. When Helen felt extremely cold, Carissa had instinctively wrapped her in a cloak to keep
her warm. The memory brought a fleeting warmth to Helen's heart.

“You've been kind to me. I'll remember that. I'm not like those ungrateful people.”
Helen was, of course, referring to the Warren familly.
Carissa smiled but remained silent.
Helen observed her closely, thinking that her daughter-in-law was not as insufferable as others had claimed. In
fact, she was quite the opposite. It was clear that the former accusations by Eleanor about the Duke of
Northwatch’s family were nothing but Iles meant to deceive and stir trouble.
Reflecting on it now, Helen realized she couldn't just blothers-she had been the one to look down on Carissa
because of her past. Thinking of how Carissa had helped her twice now, shand fear crept in.
If Carissa were like other noblewomen and had made a fuss upon discovering that her mother-in-law had stolen
her dowry, would Helen's reputation still be intact?
But it wasn’t just about reputation. Helen wouldn't have been able to assert any authority over Carissa. If her
daughter-in-law had turned things around on her, there would have been nothing Helen could do to stop her.
After all, who ever heard of a mother-in-law stealing the bride's dowry on her wedding day? Even common folk
wouldn't stoop so low.
Helen's anger flared as she thought about Eleanor’s cruelty and her own foolishness.
How could Helen have been so easily provoked by a few words, all for the sake of a little pride?
