Chapter 349
The queen dowager had sharp eyes–she immediately noticed her younger sister’s discontent.
After Rafael and Carissa went to greet the king and queen, Victoria held back Helen and Gillian for a private conversation.
She first addressed Gillian.
“Now that you’ve left the palace and entered the household, things are different. Social interactions are Inevitable, and any misstep in words or deeds could bring trouble to Rafael’s reputation. So, you must be even more careful in your conduct, with no room for error.
“Your mistress was raised by you and has been spoiled by you, but if you notice anything amiss in the future, you must speak up immediately. If she intends to do something inappropriate, you must persuade her otherwise. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Your Majesty, I understand,” Gillian replied respectfully.
However, Helen pouted. “Victoria, what could I possibly do wrong? Besides, I’ll be managing the household affairs from now on, with Gillian and Luke assisting me, and Jacob offering advice. What could go wrong?”
“You? Manage the household?” Victoria waved her hand, shaking her head firmly. “No, you should just enjoy your life in Rafael’s residence. You’re not to interfere with the household matters. If you want to manage something, stick to overseeing your own courtyard and the people within it. Didn’t you bring enough people with you? That should be plenty to keep you occupied.”
“Victoria, what are you saying? I’m Rafael’s mother! If I don’t help him manage the household, who will? Surely not Carissa? What does that little girl know?” Helen protested.
However, Victoria didn’t mince words in her retort.
“She knows more than you, even if she knows little. When our mother tried to teach you how to understand the numbers in the account books while you were still unmarried, you refused to learn. After entering the palace, you couldn’t even outmaneuver a mere concubine.

I wish there were more chapters uploaded daily. Atleast 10 per day....
When will the next chapter be uploaded? This story is so awesome!...
I’ve read several novels, but this is the best of the best....
I hope that Rafael will not fall for Carmen. I don’t think I can keep reading if he does. Carissa deserves to have a pure and strong love with Rafael that world stand the test of time and all trials and tribulations....

I do crave for a hundred chapters each day. HAHAHA but all in all, this story is so good, I imagine them all in my brain I have my own little Theater in there.
