Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 285

Being called lowly struck a nerve for Aurora. She sprang to her feet and aimed a kick at Carissa’s abdomen. Carissa didn’t even dodge, simply countering with a sharp elbow to the other woman’s shin. Aurora cried out in agony as a bone–shattering pain surged through her leg.

Carissa seized Aurora by the collar and pushed her into a chair, leaning over her with a cold, unyielding gaze.

“You dare to act up in my house? What exactly are you here for today?”

Aurora struggled with all her might but couldn’t break free. In her frantic efforts, her veil fell off, revealing half of her disfigured face.

Seeing Carissa’s eyes fixed on her, Aurora’s composure broke and she screamed in despair, “It’s you!! came here to hold you accountable. You could have led your troops to rescue me, but you didn’t! You even stopped Barrett from coming to my aid!

Still holding Aurora by the collar, she turned to Lulu and flatly said, “Keep an eye on Ryan. Don’t let him leave his room.”

Lulu, who had been glaring at Aurora, responded promptly, “Yes, my lady. I’ll go at once.”

She hurried out the door, quickly making Amethyst Hall.

Seeing Carissa’s suddenly intense and fearsome expression, Aurora felt a wave of unease, though she tried to maintain a fierce front.

“What are you planning to do?”

Carissa dragged her out of the hall by the collar. The biting cold wind whipped against Aurora, causing her hair to fly loose. She felt an inexplicable panic but couldn’t escape Carissa’s iron grip.

“What are you going to do? Where are you taking me? Are you going to kill me? Let go of me! Carissa, let
