Britney Hall was located in the north and faced the south. It was elegantly decorated and had almost the best

rooms in the entire estate. Thus, to make Michelle feel better, Geoffrey let her stay in there.

When Isolde cout at night while hugging Leonis, she saw Helena sneakily pressing her car against the wall.

“What are you doing?” Isolde walked over and asked curiously.

Helena was shocked. When she looked up and saw it was Isolde, she said awkwardly, “I want to hear if Michelle

is crying.

Isolde said calmly, “She won't cry. Even if she cries, she won't let us hear her.”

Michelle had always been tough and cared a lot about her image. Now that she was divorced and returned to her

family, she would not allowed herself to look sad at all.

Michelle was Geoffrey's eldest daughter. Since she was young, she had been educated to be a mistress of the

household. No matter what happened, she would always keep up with appearances.

After her return, other than greeting Geoffrey and Matilda every day, Michelle did not go out. She announced to

everyone that she was reflecting on her mistakes. Thus, although 1solde lived next to her, they

had never met.

Michelle's attitude was so good that Geoffrey naturally felt even more sorry for her. And so, he hated Isolde

more. Furthermore, the Wood family kept refusing to talk about the marriage, so it seemed hopeless. -Geoffrey

was even more angry at that.

A few days later, Princess Aveline invited all the nobility to her estate for a birthday party.

As the new County Princess of Cromwell, Isolde was naturally invited. This was Isolde’s first tattending a

party since returning from Belleview Manor.

The falling apart of Isolde and Geoffrey caused them to head to the party separately even though they were

invited at the stime.

Isolde’s identity did not attract anyone's attention. After all, she was abandoned by Geoffrey, who was not liked

by the king. Although she was a County Princess, it was not a big deal.

However, Isolde’s appearance surprised everyone. When the older ladies saw her, they all remarked. “She

looked a lot like Lady Prunella.”

Milton and Samiyah were also invited. Margaret did not cbut told William to attend. For se reason, William

brought his concubine, Eleanor.

Eleanor attracted everyone's attention. She was pregnant before marriage and was framed by her cousin.

Michelle, causing her to miscarry. Although she caught William's eye, she beconly a concubine. What a

turn of events.

Eleanor wore a peach-colored silk dress today. The color looked youthful. Unfortunately, the embroidery on her

dress, while very eye-catching, did not match her status. Such embroidery was usually only used by

the wife.

Eleanor did not seem to be embarrassed by her status as a concubine. She even held William's hand and walked

around the ladies.

When Isolde walked in, the two of them saw her. The moment their eyes met, Isolde could see the hatred and

anger in Eleanor’s eyes

William was stunned. His eyes were fixed on Isolde. Although he had seen Isolde a few times before and felt that

she was very different from before, she was not as stunning as today.

Isolde was dressed in green dress with her hair done up in a knot. A pearl hairpin sparkled in the light. Her dress

clung to her waist, revealing her beautiful figure and adding to her charm and elegance. With each movement,

there was a mix of charm and grace, yet an unmistakable air of confidence and strength.

When Eleanor saw William staring at Isolde, jealousy welled up in her. She held William's arm with one. hand and

walked towards Isolde with him.

With a smug expression on her face, Eleanor stood in front of Isolde. “Isolde, I'm really surprised to see you

here.”

Isolde had never had the chance to attend such an occasion before. Therefore, her remark was ironic, Although

Isolde was Geoffrey's daughter, she had never been treated like one.

Isolde looked at Eleanor with a faint smile. “What a surprise indeed. At least, | didn’t expect you to come. Does

Margaret know you're here?”

Isolde wondered if the Margaret would allow Eleanor to come. After all, the Marchioness cared about her

reputation the most. William was not even married yet but he was already bringing his concubine around. Others

would laugh at them.

Isolde naturally did not know Margaret was the one who had instructed Eleanor to come. Ever since William had

caused a scene at the gate of the Duke's estate after Eleanor’s injury, news had spread. Many said William did

not want to accept Eleanor at all and only wanted to form an alliance with Milton.

It would have been fine if it was just gossip. However, the Marquis of Eldermere had achieved great merit and

was about to return. If the King or someone with ulterior motives heard this, it would be a huge disaster.

Consequently, Margaret asked William to bring Eleanor out to show his affection for his concubine, proving that

he married Eleanor purely because they had feelings for each other.

William suddenly reached out and grabbed Isolde’s arm, pulling her forward. His voice was rough and anxious.

“Hold on!”

Up close, Isolde could even hear his breathing clearly. Since they got married. William had always been the most

important person to her. She had once been infatuated with his words and actions. She loved to look at

swordplay while he was drunk. She loved even more when he read her poetry under the moon” ht.

Five years of intimacy, of risking life and limb for him, of infatuation, had been a complete joke.

The past was bloody and violent. Isolde flung his hand away and said coldly, “Lord William, have sself-

respect!”

William knew he had lost his composure. He let go, but his eyes were still locked on Isolde’s face. “Why do you

refuse to marry me?”

Eleanor’s face instantly turned pale. She shot a venomous glare towards Isolde, as if she wanted to skin her

Isolde sneered “Wasn't it your family who broke off the engagement??

William gritted his teeth. He was easily embarrassed and had already lost control when he asked that question,

but he was unwilling to give up. “I gave you a chance

“Thank you, but I didn’t plan to give you a chance, Isolde said coldly

A Treatis

A figure quickly cover and grabbed William’s hand. Then, she stood beside them and said sharply. “Isolde,

you're no longer engaged to William. Why are you still pestering him?”

Eleanor’s voice was sharp and high-pitched, attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone watched with interest. The marriage between Isolde and William had always been talked about by

everyone.

Pablo had numerous outstanding military achievements. It was not an exaggeration to say that his son could

marry a princess. Thus, it was already a surprise that William would marry a wild girl who had grown up in the

country.

After Pablo went to war, his family called off the engagement and William even took in a concubine first.

Moreover, Eleanor and Isolde were cousins.

After hearing Eleanor’s words, everyone felt Isolde still wanted to marry William. All eyes were on Isolde’s face,

waiting for her to explain herself.

It was indeed inappropriate to tug at each other in public. No matter how Isolde explained, it was useless.

However, Isolde smiled. “Eleanor, although William and | will never marry, we used to be engaged after all. It’s

not like we've becenemies. Of course, when we meet, we'll greet each other. “If I'm really pestering him.

I'm afraid you won't even be able to be his concubine.

She curtsied to William. “William, since your concubine is jealous, let's keep our distance when we meet in the

future. It will save us from gossip.”

Isolde did not defend herself. She just admitted that she had spoken to William. No one felt that there was

anything wrong with her being so open.

On the other hand, Eleanor appeared to be overly jealous by not allowing them to speak. Besides, she was only a

concubine.
