Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 354
Eleanor turned to Helen with a look of confusion.
"What is this about? Pearls and bets? Wasn't last night just a feast? When did you take any of her dowry? This simply won't do! Dowries are the private property of the daughter-in-law. You cannot take them, even in jest."
Helen was taken aback.
Over her years of interacting with Eleanor, Helen had suspected that Eleanor might not give up the three thousand silver coins. Even so, Helen had held onto a sliver of hope and thought that Eleanor, being a person of pride, would honor the bet simply to preserve her dignity.
Eleanor's complete denial of both the pearls and the bet was beyond Helen's expectations.
Dumbfounded, Helen instinctively glanced at Gillian, who was shivering with a reddened face, trying to shield herself with her sleeve and desperately stifling her runny nose.
Helen turned back to Carissa, who remained calm and composed, as if she had anticipated this outcome all along.
Helen was unwilling to be belittled by Carissa, but was even more enraged by Eleanor's shamelessness.
Frustrated, she snapped, "How can you say such things? Last night, I clearly gave you the pearls! You said that if she didn't pursue it, you would return the pearls to me and also give me three thousand silver coins. How can you go back on your word?"
"How absurd! Why would I instruct you to take your daughter-in-law's dowry?" Eleanor's expression darkened as she retorted, "Go ask around—does anyone believe I would do such a thing?"
Eleanor's sharp tone left Helen bewildered.
Helen, already intimidated by Eleanor, was even more frightened by the latter’s anger. Now panicking, she instinctively blurted out, "Then… then, we should go back and verify this first."
Carissa rolled her eyes in exasperation. Returning meant they would never recover the pearls.
However, as a dutiful daughter-in-law, Carissa decided to play along with her mother-in-law's charade.
Smiling, she said, "Alright, then, we shall return for now."
Eleanor sipped her coffee, and shot a sidelong glance at Carissa.
