Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 301

Chapter 301

Eleanor and Jessica’s expressions turned incredibly sour.

Eleanor had always prided herself on her refined taste. She had almost acquired Kyle’s orchid painting, only for it to be torn to shreds. She was ridiculed for it, and since then, she harbored a grudge against

Kyle.

After all, her love for the arts was just a pretense. She didn’t genuinely appreciate the painting or the painter.

Serena awkwardly found a comer to sit in, not daring to speak further. Deep down, she felt indignant.

Why should Carissa have such a famous guild senior?

Eleanor and Jessica were now silent. Their earlier comments about Carissa seemed like a complete joke. Even the king and the prime minister had personally gone to visit–how grand must that event be? And here they were, hiding and mocking Carissa.

It was petty, and showed a severe lack of class.

Thinking back to Eleanor and Jessica’s slanderous remarks, Serena realized how she had chimed in as well and had acted like a petty person.

Heather’s expression was particularly noteworthy, shifting from awkwardness to forced laughter, to a growing sense of unease.

Helen was also unhappy. She hadn’t enjoyed the earlier gossip about Carissa, and now, she was even more displeased after the spotlight had been stolen by the latter. Helen had prepared several outfits and accessories to change into throughout the day, but now, she had lost all interest.

Many of the other guests were also becoming restless, eager to visit Northwatch Estate. Even without an invitation, their husbands were there. Surely, they wouldn’t be turned away if they joined in on the excitement, right?

Noticing the silence in the room, Natalie suddenly exclaimed, “Oh dear, how forgetful of me! I nearly forgot something important.”

Everyone turned to look at her as she slapped her forehead in realization.

“When I left Northwatch Estate, Lady Sinclair knew I was coming here and asked me to bring a painting of the snowy mountains for Lady Helen to admire. This piece is a masterpiece by Mr. Spencer. Before anyone could get a good look, Lady Sinclair mentioned she would put it away to present it to Lady Helen.”

Natalie turned to her maid with a hint of annoyance. “You know how forgetful I am. Why didn’t you remind me? I almost forgot something so important! If Lady Sinclair finds out and blames me, I’ll be too embarrassed to see her.”
