Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 748

As Violet watched Carmen explode in anger, she felt an inexplicable shift within herself.

Since following Carissa to the battlefield and returning to the capital to face a pile of messy issues, Violet's patience had improved considerably.

In the past, Violet would have likely stormed off if Carmen had spoken to her this way. She never cared about other people's feelings and was always so headstrong, but now she wanted to be a better person.

Violet could understand Carmen's anger and fear. Carmen had been used by her own family all this time and hadn't received an ounce of trust. She had viewed Henry, her mom, and her sister as her family, a united front.

Yet Henry had betrayed her, and now she was being told that Celeste wanted to harm their mom.

To make it worse, Carmen had to hear this from an outsider. It was only natural she wouldn't believe it.

Wanting to be understanding, Violet remained calm. "Regardless of whether you believe it or not, the fact remains. Billy's testimony can't be false. It wouldn't escape the scrutiny of the officials at the Supreme Court. As for how your sister commanded him, she slept with him."

Carmen trembled all over, tears welling in her eyes. "Shut up! How can you insult my sister like that? Just because she was a courtesan? She had no choice! She's been suffering enough already, and you still want to slander her and drive a wedge between us!"

"Whether you believe me or not is up to you. I've told you what I know, and my responsibility ends here. If you ever want to borrow money for your business, just come to me. I can lend you three hundred silver coins," Violet offered.

Violet hailed from wealth, and she often measured friendships in terms of money. This was a practice rooted in the Spencer family, a lesson she had learned from some influential figures.

For Carissa, there were no limits—whatever she needed, be it a loan or a gift, Violet was willing to provide.
