Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 610

In the side hall, the two women sat facing each other.

Carissa eyed the dagger still pressed against Viola's neck, and frowned.

"Are you really going to keep holding that dagger to your throat? If you truly want to die, go throw yourself against the gates of Hell Monarch Estate. All this drama just makes you look ridiculous."

Viola wiped her tears with the back of her hand, her face pale and stubborn. "Carissa, destroying someone's marriage is a sin! You're truly vicious."

Carissa sat up straight, her posture as rigid as ever. "When did I destroy your marriage? Whatever happens between you and Barrett is your business, not mine. You've always had a poor sense of right and wrong. When Valor Estate was attacked, I was the one who saved you all."

Viola's voice turned cold. "That's beside the point! You didn't save us for my sake. I don't owe you any gratitude."

Carissa laughed incredulously. "I don't need your gratitude. Just tell me—what have I done to ruin your marriage?"

Viola gritted her teeth, and spat, "Don't pretend to be innocent! You know exactly what you told Thomas. You just can't stand to see me happy! You found out Thomas and I were going to reconcile, so you dug up dirt on me and exposed everything to him. Now, he's looking to marry someone else. Are you satisfied?"

"Thomas?" For a moment, Carissa had been thinking this was about some conflict between Viola and Barrett. She hadn't connected the dots. But then, she recalled that odd moment between Viola and Silas back at Arcane Sanctum.

Suddenly, it all clicked.

Viola had tried to reach out to Thomas, hoping to rekindle their relationship. However, it seemed that Thomas had discovered her secret affair with Silas. So, he made it known that he intended to marry someone else to kill Viola's hopes of getting back together with him.

And now, Viola thought Carissa had been the one to expose her secret to Thomas.

Carissa pieced it together, and was genuinely shocked. Viola was pregnant with Barrett's child, but she still wanted to rekindle things with Thomas. What was she thinking? Was she really considering getting rid of the baby and pursuing a divorce?
