Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 763

"The Blackthornes have two daughters," Lana replied smoothly. "The one you just saw is their adopted daughter. I'm close with the actual, biological daughter."

Hearing this, Byron breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

They walked for nearly fifteen minutes before rounding a massive privacy screen and stepping into The Elysian Courtyard. Byron and Lana assumed this grand space was the patriarch's main residence. They were just straightening their clothes to look presentable when they noticed the courtyard pond was swarming with construction workers brutally tearing up the ground.

Both of them stared in shock. The sun was setting, but the crew showed zero signs of stopping. They were taking heavy sledgehammers to pristine white marble tiles, shattering the priceless stonework without a second thought.

Byron was a seasoned collector of antiques and had a deep understanding of traditional architecture. From the moment he set foot in Obsidian Estate, he had been absolutely terrified by the sheer, unfathomable wealth and history on display.

He had thought a fifteen-minute walk meant they had reached the center, but this was merely one minor courtyard along a sprawling network of corridors.

Matriarch Cavanaugh looked toward the noise. "Why on earth are they destroying perfectly good walkways?"

Cedric smiled politely. "You haven't heard, ma'am. Miss Lexton injured her leg during the incident, and the doctor mandated strict rest. Our Master was worried she'd have trouble getting around the estate, so he ordered the demolition of every single staircase and narrow pathway to make the entire grounds wheelchair accessible for her."

The four guests all had vastly different reactions to this casual statement.

The Bellamy family was managing the northern mountain resort, and the Cavanaughs had initiated the trip. They were here tonight specifically to offer the Ravenshires a formal apology.

As an outsider from Stormhollow's elite circles, Byron had no idea how deeply Vivienne was valued. When he first heard that only an adopted daughter had been injured, he had secretly thanked his lucky stars it wasn't one of the young masters or direct heirs. Now, hearing that the legendary patriarch was tearing up his historic estate just for this girl, Byron felt entirely out of his depth.

Was it possible Caspian knew they were coming to apologize, and this demolition was a deliberate, terrifying display of power just to put them in their place?

Matriarch Cavanaugh, knowing the true dynamics, gracefully glossed over the shock. "The Master is incredibly thoughtful."

"Please excuse the noise," Cedric replied smoothly.

With that, they arrived outside Northwing Court.
