Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 443

Viola was constantly preoccupied with the affairs of both the estate and the family, and she had to dip into her own funds to make up the shortfall. Every day, she was so exhausted that it felt as though her back might break the moment she lay down.

Meanwhile, Carissa seemed to live a carefree and happy life, so Viola couldn't help but feel a pang of resentment.

While lost in these thoughts, she overheard Serena say, "I heard that Lady Helen publicly stated she didn't like Carissa in the past. Considering their strained relationship, it's possible Lady Helen will impose some rules on Carissa at the birthday banquet. With Carissa's current temperament, she might make a scene."

Viola remembered Carissa's haughty and arrogant words from that day while she sat in her carriage. She really wanted to see Helen making things difficult for Carissa.

But without an invitation, how could she possibly attend Helen's birthday banquet?

Then, she suddenly thought of her own family. With her brother now in charge of the Hell Monarch Army and the banquet being held at Hell Monarch Estate, surely they would send an invitation to the Earl of Silverstone's family?

With that in mind, Viola excused herself after helping to administer Rebecca's medication, claiming she needed to visit her own family because her mother was unwell. Upon returning home and asking her mother, she confirmed that they had indeed received an invitation.

Viola immediately said, "Mom, take me with you on that day."

Evelyn was taken aback. "You already married into the Warren family. It wouldn't be proper for me to bring you along."

"Who cares if it's proper or not? It's just a birthday banquet. Just say that I'm accompanying you because my sister-in-law's health isn't great," Viola insisted.

"What would you go for?" Evelyn asked.

She looked at her daughter, feeling that since Viola's marriage, her temperament had become increasingly impatient.

"It's nothing special. I just want to chat with the other ladies," Viola said, shaking her mother's arm. "Mom, you know, ever since I married into the Warren family, the family's fortunes have declined.
