Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284

Carissa stood and walked through the puddle on the floor, each step bringing her closer to Aurora.

She bent down and whispered into Aurora’s ear, “Has Liam’s revenge not made you see the truth yet? you still think you’re the greatest female general in the world? Aurora, you’re nothing. Barrett married out of novelty. If he truly loved you, he would have given you the position of a primary wife instead of secondary wife.”

Aurora’s face turned pale. “That’s because he still wanted to preserve your dignity. As for me, I don’t c about the title.”

Carissa grabbed the other woman’s colla

“Do you think I care about the dignity he preserved for me? And what do you gain from not caring abou titles? You came here today and flaunted your power. Did you think I might be concerned about my reputation and let you make a scene?”

Carissa gripped Aurora’s chin, pressing hard enough that her jaw felt like it might crack. The pain made tears well up in Aurora’s eyes.

“What makes you think I’m so easy to provoke? Is it because my divorce came quickly, making you think I’m weak and easily bullied?
