Chapter 457
Carissa continued to entertain the quests, but privately instructed Violet to keep an eye on everyone, especially
those with ulterior motives.
Violet observed two young women who frequently exchanged glances. with Eleanor. After noting their details,
she approached Lily to inquire about them.
Lily was assisting with the arrangements inside. After identifying the two women, she cout and told Violet,
“The one in the yellow dress is from Lady Ruth’s natal family, but | don’t know her name. The one in the violet
dress is from the late Lady Chloe's natal family, and her name. is Renee. She is exceptionally talented and
beautiful. People often compare her to Queen Kylie. Queen Kylie’s talents were once unrivaled in the capital.”
Violet made a mental note of that. When Carissa emerged, Violet informed her of the two women’s identities.
Carissa understood immediately. Both Ruth and the late noble. concubine, Chloe, had connections to Eleanor and
Yuvan. They were clearly trying to insert their own people into Hell Monarch Estate. They had brought Serena
here to cause trouble for Rafael.
It seemed they couldn't allow Yuvan to stay in Valken anymore. He needed to be brought back to the capital,
where he could be watched closely.

After the banquet, Rafael held Carissa’s hand as they saw off the guests. at the main entrance. Together, they
made a stunning pair-the prince. was handsand noble, while the princess consort was beautiful and
elegant.
The guests couldn't help but admire the pair, thinking that they were
indeed a perfect match made in heaven.
The guests left the estate in an orderly fashion, thanks to the careful arrangements made by the guards, with no
sign of congestion.
Eleanor and Jessica shared a carriage, and opened the appreciation gift presented before they departed.
Carissa had prepared a thoughtful gift for each guest, though each was different.
Jessica opened her gift to find a small sculpture of a tortoise, a symbol of longevity and wisdom.
She tossed it aside with a huff. “What is this?”
She then looked at Eleanor’s gift, which was a small sculpture of an elephant, a symbol of virtue and integrity.
Fuming, Jessica exclaimed, “What does this mean? Is she implying that | won't live long? And she gave you an
elephant! Is she suggesting your
lack virtue?”
Eleanor shot her daughter a cold glance. “Be quiet! Haven't you seen. how your mother-in-law looks at you?
You've been staying at Harmony. Palace for too long. It’s tfor you to go back.”
“Go back? He hasn't even cto pickup!” Jessica had been waiting for Leopold to cfor her. “And after
what happened today, what am | supposed to do?”
“What else can you do? Take Serena as Leopold's secondary wife. At least that will divide sof the worthless
woman's favor.” Eleanor rubbed her temples, growing impatient. “Enough! Go hand stop bothering me. |

Jessica hesitated. “Four hundred thousand silver coins.”
Eleanor’s eyes widened in shock. “Have you lost your mind?! Four hundred thousand? Everyone knows The
Gilded Tower is modeled after The Golden Tower. It's made a profit already. You should sell it at a lower price.
Otherwise, it will cback to haunt us if anything goes wrong.”
“Mom, I'm trying to recoup the large sum we gave Aunt Helen. We need to earn that money back. Besides, our
business is doing so well. Even forty thousand silver coins is still a bargain.”
“How many times have | told you? Don’t be greedy. The gold ornaments. sold in the first year will have started
fading by now. If someone raises a fuss, the Royal Citadel will investigate, and it will cback to us. Don’t you
know who sits at the top of the Royal Citadel? It's the Klein family. It’s the uncle of that spawn from the Duke of
Northwatch’s family!”
Seeing her mother’s stern expression, Jessica could only reluctantly agree, “Understood, Mom. | will lower the
price.”
“You should return to Ironridge Estate tomorrow,” Eleanor’s tone was now tinged with impatience.
Jessica sulked. She really didn’t want to face her mother-in-law again.
Margaret had been seriously ill before, and it had seemed like her coffin would be brought into the residence, but
she managed to hold on. Now, she was still in charge of the household and was unwilling to relinquish control.
