NovelEnglishChapter 1023 +25 BONUS Stephanie was initially a bit afraid of Carissa, but when she heard those words, she stood up in a huff and demanded, "Carissa, how can you slanderlike this and ruin my reputation? What do you gain from this?" Immediately, Travis barked sharply, "How dare you call the princess consort by her name?" Carissa raised her hand, signaling for Travis to step back.
She then looked up at Stephanie, her voice dripping with sarcasm as she said, "I see you're quick to speak harshly, but when your mom was treated so poorly, you didn't utter a word of protest. Why? If you were too scared to speak up, you should have at least served her properly. Don't forget, she gave birth to you." Stephanie was seething with anger. She was about to retort, but when Rafael's cold gaze swept across the room, her anger quickly turned to hesitation.

It's easy to criticize others, but why didn't you act on it?" Carissa scoffed. “What an excellent point you make! So, if someone doesn't fulfill their duties to their parents, they can still criticize others for not doing enough? I'll be sure to remember this and tell Mrs. Murray. She'll be so pleased to hear how you want her to spread the word about your remarkable sense." Yuvan's expression darkened. "Stephanie, don't be disrespectful to your cousin." Stephanie shot Carissa a venomous glare but reluctantly replied, "Yes, Dad." Yuvan was even more upset than Stephanie. Carissa's words were an obvious jab at his harsh treatment of his former wife. Worse, she said it in front of Violet. How could he preserve his reputation after that? Fortunately, Rafael stepped in to defuse the tension, saying, "Alright, let's not bring up unpleasant matters today. We're here to enjoy ourselves, so let's not spoil the mood." Carissa noticed that her husband was irritated and retorted, "What? Now I'm not allowed to speak? What's wrong with a few words? I'm just saying, my aunt didn't deserve to have two ungrateful daughters and two ungrateful sons." Yuvan's face flushed with anger. Was she accusing the children of being ungrateful? No, this was an accusation against him.
Rafael furrowed his brows, clearly upset. "Carissa, we've cto Uncle Yuvan's residence as guests. Can you at least be a bit more thoughtful?" Carissa shot him an angry look, clearly displeased. "Why are you taking their side? Are the 1/3 0 ter 1 things I'm saying wrong?" Rafael's eyes were clouded with frustration. "I'm not saying you're wrong, but the timing is wrong." As they bickered, the people from Edgeview Estate exchanged uncertain glances. They had always heard of the couple's love for each other, so why had they started arguing over just a few words? For a moment, even Wayne couldn't tell whether this was genuine or not.
It was Violet who stood up and moved forward to mediate. "My cousin invited us here today. Let's show her srespect and not stay angry. How about we go for a walk with her, okay?" Molly had been thoroughly enjoying the and didn't hide her amusement. She never liked Stephanie or Sabrina, both of whom always acted so superior. Hearing them get scolded by Carissa was sweet revenge for her.
When she watched Carissa argue with the Hell Monarch, she thought the other woman was foolish. How could she embarrass her husband like that? It was clear that being too proud as a woman could be just as annoying.
However, Violet's suggestion was a way of showing her respect in front of the prince. Smiling brightly, Molly stood up.

"Our gardener is very skilled. He's grown several types of orchids, and now the roses, and orchids are blooming together in a competition of beauty. Let's go see them together," she suggested.
Carissa had been reluctant to rise, but with Violet tugging on her arm, she got up. "Fine, l'IXeave: Fknow I'm ΝΟ saying things that aren't pleasant to hear. It's better that I don't stay here and be an eyesore." Violet smiled and patted Carissa's hand lightly. "Don't mind her, Prince Yuvan. Cari can be a little blunt sometimes." When Yuvan saw Violet's smile, he felt a lump form in his throat. His gaze slowly moved from her face down to her chest and waist.
Violet was unaware of his intent, so she didn't think anything of it. She still saw Yuvan as nothing but trouble, but having no experience with men, she didn't recognize what was happening.
However, Carissa saw it all too clearly. What she had suspected earlier, she was now almost certain of it. Yuvan was lasciviously eyeing Violet. Her anger flared up instantly, her eyes flashing with fury. Without a second thought, she grabbed Violet's arm and pulled her toward the door. 713 Carissa vanked so hard that Violet stumbled and almost lost her balance. As she steadied herself, she quickly said, "Slow down!" After they left, Stephanie scoffed and remarked coldly, "She has no manners herself, but dares to criticize others."
