After Harvey and Heather left, the servants in Gracehold Estate were busy cleaning up. Apart from Samuel and
Ruby, who remained in the sitting room, everyone else dispersed. Even Abigail did not stay as she escorted
Dorothy back to her quarters.
Before leaving, Dorothy gave strict orders that Noah was not to make things difficult for Samuel.
“Which of the young men in this family is as outstanding as he is? The king personally selected Samuel as one of
the top scholars. Him losing his position is only a temporary setback. Which family doesn’t have multiple wives
and concubines? It’s just that spetty people are stirring up trouble.”
“Mom, go rest,” Noah responded, but he didn’t agree. He simply gestured for his wife to escort Dorothy
away,
Noah then turned his gaze to Ruby, who was sobbing uncontrollably in Samuel's arms. He felt a surge of
frustration.
“Why are yo

you crying? If you hadn't provoked Leona, would tonight's events have happened?”
Still shielding Ruby, Samuel spoke up, “Dad, how can you blRuby? You've seen how vicious the people in
Leona’s quarters are. They even dared to strike me, your son!”
“You insolent brat, shut your mouth!” Noah snapped before turning his fury back on Ruby. “You will go outside
and stand in a corner, out in the cold. Don’t you dare move until I tell you to.”
Samuel immediately stepped forward to protect her. “She can’t! She's already been dragged and injured. by that
vicious woman. Just look at her face...”
Noah could no longer hold back his rage. He slapped his son across the face and bellowed, “Insolent child! Don’t
you realize the disaster that’s upon you?!”
Having been struck multiple times today, Samuel was filled with fury. “Fine! If you can’t standand Ruby, then
we'll leave the estate. I'll give up my title as heir. Whoever wants it can have it. It’s just a small, insignificant
title-1 don't care.”
True to his word, Samuel stormed off to pack his things and leave.
Noah sat in his chair, listening to a servant report that Samuel had packed up his belongings, including his ink,
brushes, and many of the books he'd been reading, and had loaded everything onto a cart.
“Did Ruby try to stop him?” Noah asked icily.
“N-no, she didn’t. She helped him pack,” the servant stammered.
Noah closed his eyes, recalling what Carissa had said. Eleanor’s illegitimate daughter, who had beca
courtesan at a brothel, entering the Earl of Gracehold’s family-what were her intentions? He needed to think
carefully.
Combining this with what Violet had mentioned, Noah was now almost certain that Ruby was here to sow
discord, sent by Eleanor to disrupt the peace of his family.
He had initially considered two possibilities. The first was that Ruby had been sold off to a brothel after falling out
of Eleanor’s favor. The second was that Eleanor had deliberately arranged for Ruby to enter his family to ruin
their reputation.

Now, he was almost certain it was the latter.
Samuel had once been a promising top scholar and a distinguished nobleman with a future full of potential.
However, after he becinvolved with Ruby, he first tarnished the century-old reputation of the Earl of
Gracehold’s family by bringing a woman from a brothel into their home. His relationship with Leona then
deteriorated, leading to charges brought against him by the Oversight Department, which ultimately resulted in
the loss of his position,

If Ruby remained in Gracehold Estate, who knew what other disasters would follow?
Especially considering that Leona had already been harmed to the point that it had even led to complications
with her pregnancy. If Ruby didn’t leave, Leona’s chances of a smooth delivery remained
uncertain.
Though Harvey and Heather hadn't explicitly condemned Ruby tonight, their anger was evident. However, they
weren't a big problem. After all, the couple likely wished for Samuel and Leona to get along. So, they would likely
counsel their daughter to be patient and focus on safely giving birth.
What truly worried Noah was the Hell Monarch’s princess consort. Tonight, Rafael had practically torn apart
Gracehold Estate.
Would Noah mention this in court? No, he wouldn't dare say a word. The fact that a member of the Earl of
Gracehold’s family had laid hands on Helen, an honored concubine, was enough to bring his family under serious
accusations of insubordination.
What's more, Rafael’s household soldiers had entered Gracehold Estate unarmed. They hadn't used weapons,
using only their fists to break things. Their hands were even injured from smashing items, showing how
meticulously the Hell Monarch had calculated his actions.
Samuel left the estate that night. When Dorothy heard of it, she couldn't bear the thought of her grandson
suffering and arranged for them to live in a manor on Hibiscus Lane, sending no small amount of silver coins
along with them.
