NovelEnglishLulu hurried downstairs to fetch more coffee, and poured a fresh cup for Alana.
After Alana finished her coffee, she continued, "Lady Leona had been waiting for him to come, so we didn't stop him. We thought it would be better if the couple resolved their conflicts openly. At least, before the child is born, the duchess should be in a better mood instead of crying alone every night." Carissa becanxious. "Did he go in and insult Leona?" "Insult her? If it was just that, I wouldn't have hit him. He pushed the duchess and made her belly hit the corner of the table. She was in so much pain that she broke into a cold sweat, which was when I stepped in and hit him." "He pushed Leona? How is she now?" Carissa asked urgently.

"Since the duchess kept crying out for her mother, I went to Hartstone Estate first, hoping to ask them to cand check on the duchess." Alana paused for a long time, making everyone anxious.
Carissa couldn't help but ask again, "Did they go?" "No!" Alana took another sip of coffee. "I'm so thirsty from running around and not drinking enough. Lady Heather wanted to go, but Prince Harvey said if they went, they would have to confront that scumbag. If they did, they needed to know the Earl of Gracehold's family's stance on the matter.
"They ended up discussing back and forth and decided that since the physician said bed rest would suffice, they would visit on another day and avoid the current commotion. Visiting in a few days wouldn't be tied to today's incident." Suddenly, an angry voice cfrom outside the door, "Damn that nonsense!" Helen and Gillian entered, both with expressions of fury.
"His own daughter is being mistreated, and instead of standing up for her, he's afraid of offending his son-in-law? What kind of reasoning is that? Is his son-in-law made of gold?" Helen snarled. Alana stood up to greet Helen. Helen looked at Alana, and asked, "So, they're just going to let it go? What exactly are they afraid of?" Alana replied, "Lady Helen, Prince Harvey's stance is that if we cause a scene now, the duchess' future will be even more difficult. It might even hinder her ability to carry the child properly." "The present situation is already bad enough! What good will delaying do?" Helen was infuriated, fully embodying the role of a mother.
If Logan dared to mistreat her daughter, she would have demanded Carissa take immediate action, leaving no room for mercy.
"They plan to go in a few days," Alana said.

Lady Carissa isn't a member of Lady Leona's family. The duchess does have her own family. If her family doesn't step in, and only the cousin does, it would seem like our royal household is bullying the smaller family." "If they've already been so rude, what do we have to fear in retaliating?" Helen replied.
Rafael observed his mother, who looked as if she were ready to tear Samuel apart, and remarked, "For matters of bullying... I think you would be perfect for the role, Mom." Helen was momentarily stunned. "Me? On what grounds would I go? I'm only the mother-in-law of Leona's cousin.
It wouldn't be appropriate forto go."
Rafael reminded her, "Are you sure that's all? Leona is my cousin, and you would be visiting on behalf of the queen dowager, which would be entirely appropriate. If you were to stumble upon this situation and react with anger, who could question your authority?" He added, "Most importantly, you have a high status!" Helen thought for a moment, and realized Rafael was right. Harvey and the late king were brothers, and Harvey had previously addressed her as a sister-in-law.
Given the situation, she was effectively part of Leona's family. If she as a family member didn't step in now, when would she? "I'll go!"
Without caring about the encroaching darkness, Helen immediately ordered the preparations for ecsrage and || would Alana and Violet, who were eager to witness the commotion. Carissa stopped Violet, whispered a few words in her ear, and instructed her to discuss the matter with Helen in the carriage. X
