Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375

In the blink of an eye, more than ten people surged into the room. At Eleanor’s command, they headed towards the account books.

Helen was frantic. “Grand Princess Eleanor, what are you doing? The account books are clearly correct! Why are you trying to hide them?”

Eleanor glanced at her own fingers, then lazily gave Helen a sidelong look. “How do I know you haven’t tampered with them?”

“Then, let’s review them together. If we do it together, we’ll find out if there’s been any tampering, won’t we?”

Eleanor snorted derisively. “There’s no need to trouble yourselves. Since you’ve already reviewed them, it’s our turn now.”

Jessica barked, “What are you waiting for? Take them away!”

Carissa held her whip in one hand, and hurled her cup at one of the guards. The cup struck him squarely on the forehead and he collapsed, unconscious.

Carissa stepped forward, her whip cracking through the air with sharp, resounding snaps. The ten or so guards, despite not being lined up, all received lashes from the whip.

Carissa stood in front of the boxes, glaring coldly at the guards. “I dare anyone to try and move these!” “Carissa, how dare you strike my people? How bold of you!” Eleanor was livid.

“Aunt Eleanor, you flatter me. I may not be bold, but I have nothing to hide. I had no choice but to strike them, as it was a last resort. Please forgive me.”

Jessica screamed as she rushed out, “Are you all dead? Can’t you handle one woman? Someone, get some help!”

Helen was terrified. She stood up and hid behind Carissa.

Carissa’s voice was icy, “I advise you not to make such a fuss. Harmony Palace is surrounded by the estates of various influential families. If word gets out, they might say you’re bullying your niece–in–law.

Jessica roared, “Carissa, who’s bullying whom here? You’re the ones who came to provoke us.

Carissa responded calmly, “Everyone saw that I came to Harmony Palace with my mother–in–law and a few servants, without a single guard. You’re the ones escalating things by calling for the household soldiers and causing a scene.”

Having intimidated the household soldiers, Carissa raised an eyebrow and smiled.
