Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 765

Zoey tightened her grip on the armrests of her chair, a frown knitting her brow. Her expression grew complex, reflecting the weight of the revelation.

No one knew a husband better than his own wife.

Oliver had gone to the Southern Frontier with two concubines, and upon arrival, he had taken two more. Though they hadn't been formally recognized yet, it was only a matter of time before he granted them status since he had taken them in.

Zoey was strict in managing the household and the concubines respected her, which was why there had never been any scandals in the Earl of Silverstone's family. Zoey could almost guarantee that if Celeste managed to get close to Oliver, she wouldn't even need to try to win him over. Just showing her beautiful courtesan face would be enough to capture his heart.

Violet watched Zoey, sensing that she understood just how difficult it would be for Oliver to resist Celeste's allure.

It was a sad situation. Zoey was a wonderful woman, but she hadn't met a good man. Despite serving as a marshal at the Southern Frontier, Oliver didn't deserve her.

Zoey tirelessly managed every aspect of life in the capital, tending to her mother-in-law, cleaning up after her sister-in-law, and warding off anyone who could harm the Earl of Silverstone's family.

Yet, happiness eluded her.

Zoey quickly regained her composure and looked at Carissa gratefully. "Thank you for informing me, Your Grace. I will send a letter to warn him."

Carissa replied, "Celeste has changed her appearance, and since Eleanor has never publicly acknowledged her identity, we cannot know what her intentions towards the Earl of Silverstone might be."

Zoey understood Carissa's meaning. Celeste was no longer merely a courtesan. With Eleanor's downfall, she was free. If she sought a benefactor, Oliver could certainly provide that for her.

If it were just that, Zoey wouldn't be overly concerned. However, Celeste was a concubine's daughter from Eleanor's household. The Supreme Court was aware of this, as was Carissa. If Oliver got involved with her, it could lead to complications that would be difficult to explain.

This could implicate the Earl of Silverstone's family and affect Zoey's children, and that was what truly worried her.

"Your Grace, if Celeste truly has an affair with my husband, what will the Supreme Court think...?"
