Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 788

Obviously upset, Kylie said, "Regardless, Dad would never do such a thing. There must have been a mistake in their investigation. This hasn't spread too far, right?"

"Only the people within the estate know. Uncle Herbert issued a strict order prohibiting anyone from speaking of it outside," Lionel replied.

"Was Dad home when you left for the palace?"

"I left before he came back. I went to the Capital Guard headquarters to find Carissa, but when I heard she had been summoned to the palace, I rushed over right away. I was hoping to clarify things with her so we could plan our response," Lionel explained.

"Regardless, I absolutely refuse to believe that Dad is keeping a mistress," Kylie stated coldly.

Lionel had initially believed it, simply because it had come from Rafael. However, after hearing Herbert's words and reflecting on them, he felt a mix of doubt and suspicion.

This wasn't something Rafael had uncovered—it was the Capital Guard's investigation. While undoubtedly skilled, Carissa was still a woman in a man's world. She might have believed some baseless rumors without proper investigation, just like any gossiping housewife.

The Quinton family had been thriving in recent years, attracting jealousy and resentment. Unsavory whispers often circulated about them. It was entirely possible that someone, unable to bear seeing Lionel's parents so happy together, had concocted tales of Malcolm keeping a mistress.

High society was full of jealous, malicious people with loose tongues.

"Regardless, we need to find out where Carissa got her information. Otherwise, Mom will be heartbroken and Dad's reputation will be at stake," Lionel said, his tone serious.

Deep down, Kylie harbored a sense of animosity toward Carissa. Salvador had once wanted to bring her into the palace as a concubine, but later, it became clear that it was all part of his political maneuvering to force the Hell Monarch to relinquish his military power.
