Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 639

Carissa smiled. "Exactly. Then, there's Zoey from the Earl of Silverstone's family. She can tell right from wrong. She dealt with the situation between Viola and Thomas without showing any favoritism, which is truly rare. In noble families, one person's honor is everyone's honor, and one person's downfall drags everyone down. For her to act that way was commendable."

"You're right. I hold the same admiration for the people you do," Violet said, nudging Carissa playfully with her chin. "I wonder what my cousin is discussing with Zoey right now at Silverstone Estate. I bet she's trying to help her husband win over Oliver."

Silverstone Estate was certainly lively today. Evelyn, Zoey, Luna, and some elders from the Prince family were all present.

Molly and Fiona arrived with their maids and servants, bringing with them an impressive array of gifts. The items piled up like a small mountain on the table, clearly showcasing Molly's generous nature.

Molly wasn't particularly skilled at socializing, but she was eager to highlight her status as a princess consort and make Fiona seem inferior. So, every time Fiona spoke, Molly would interrupt, then give gifts to Zoey's children.

Zoey's son and two daughters received a fair share of gifts, but the children of the concubines were given less. Despite being interrupted several times, Fiona remained composed. She maintained her poise and smiled as she conversed with Evelyn and Luna.

Sensing that Fiona was the true challenge here, Zoey mentally braced herself against her, choosing not to respond immediately to what she said. Instead, Zoey would deflect with small talk before replying with a word or two. And since Molly was present, Zoey would naturally address her shallow questions first to ensure she remained courteous.

Fiona suggested they take a stroll around Silverstone Estate, stating that it was the perfect time of the year for orange blossoms to bloom. She could already smell the fragrance wafting in the air.

Zoey immediately offered to accompany her, but Fiona smiled and said, "I completely forgot that I sprained my ankle a few days ago, so I can't walk around the garden. Why don't you and Lady Molly walk around while I stay here and chat with Madam Evelyn and Madam Luna?"

Molly didn't like to be ordered about, but the chance to wander alone with Zoey was too good to pass up. She immediately stood with a smile and said, "Alright. Please lead the way, Madam Zoey."
