Helen randomly picked up a hairpin. There was a gemstone set into its head, and she recognized the handicraft
of the product all too well. It was from The Gilded Tower, which sold imitations of The Golden Tower's
merchandise.
She picked up a bracelet and examined its craftsmanship, which was of similar quality. There were dozens of
such items. Combined with the banknotes and ingots, the items on the table roughly totaled a thousand silver
coins.
At first, Helen thought Janice might have stolen them. However, who in Hell Monarch Estate would buy and use
jewelry from The Gilded Tower? After all, Helen had already sold off any such items she owned to distance herself
from them.

“Lily, take everyone else out for now. I'll interrogate her with my mother-in-law,” Carissa ordered.
“Understood.” Lily waved her hand and led everyone else out, including Mindy and Sonia. Both looked equally
shocked. They had shared a room with Janice and had no idea she possessed such wealth.
Violet entered and closed the door behind her. She stepped up to Janice and grabbed the latter's chin. Caught
you red-handed. What do you have to say for yourself?”
“I didn’t steal the earrings!” Janice protested.
Her face was still pale, and she trembled slightly as the reality of the situation began to sink in. She realized that
the commotion tonight was a setup for her.
Carissa’s tone was calm. “If you didn’t steal them, where did all this money and jewelry cfrom? Were they
gifts from my mother-in-law?”
Janice’s lips quivered. “T-Those are mine. | bought them myself. The banknotes are from my savings.”
“Your savings? How much is your monthly allowance? Should | call the accountant to cand calculate how
this amount is possible?”
“I-1 saved up when | was working in the palace...” Janice’s forehead glistened with sweat as she stammered,
struggling to explain coherently.
Carissa said calmly, “I don’t care how you acquired the silver coins, gold ingots, or jewelry. However, the Mystic
Pearl earrings were found in your possession. While you followed my mother-in-law out of the palace, you're
ultimately still one of the palace maids. | return you to the palace tomorrow and hand you over to the Royal
Management Department as punishment.”
Janice took a deep breath, her face as pale as death. She realized the punishment for stealing the earrings was
just a pretext-Carissa had seen through her. Being sent to the Royal Management Department meant being
within Eleanor’s reach.
Now that Janice had been exposed and of no further use, Eleanor wouldn't allow leverage that could be used
against her to live.
Janice knew she would definitely die.
Her lips trembled violently, but the words of plea wouldn't cout. All she managed was a weak protest, “N-

“Take her away and tie her up in the woodshed. She'll be sent back to the Royal Management Department
tomorrow. My mother-in-law and | will personally report this situation to the palace. We won't handle matters
privately with a palace maid,” Carissa ordered.
Violet stood up, opened the door, and signaled for people to cin and drag Janice away. Janice felt utterly
weak, tears streaming down her face as she was pulled outside.
Spotting Mindy and Sonia, she cried tremblingly, “Sonia, help me! Save me...!”
Helen remained silent for a long tas Carissa refilled her cup.
“Mother, have another cup,” said Carissa.
Helen glanced at Carissa, then at Violet, and finally Gillian, “What was going on with her? Who did she
collude with to harm us?”
