Chapter 765
Zoey tightened her grip on the armrests of her chair, a frown knitting her brow. Her expression grew complex,
reflecting the weight of the revelation.
No one knew a husband better than his own wife.
Oliver had gone to the Southern Frontier with two concubines, and upon arrival, he had taken two more. Though
they hadn’t been formally recognized yet, it was only a matter of tbefore he granted them status since he
had taken them in.
Zoey was strict in managing the household and the concubines respected her, which was why there had never
been any scandals in the Earl of Silverstone’s family. Zoey could almost guarantee that if Celeste managed to
get close to Oliver, she wouldn't even need to try to win him over. Just showing her beautiful courtesan face
would be enough to capture his heart.
Violet watched Zoey, sensing that she understood just how difficult it would be for Oliver to resist
Celeste’s allure.

It was a sad situation. Zoey was a wonderful woman, but she hadn't met a good man. Despite serving as a
marshal at the Southern Frontier, Oliver didn’t deserve her.
Zoey tirelessly managed every aspect of life in the capital, tending to her mother-in-law, cleaning up after her
sister-in-law, and warding off anyone who could harm the Earl of Silverstone’s family.
Yet, happiness eluded her.
Zoey quickly regained her composure and looked at Carissa gratefully. “Thank you for informing me, Your Grace.
1 will send a letter to warn him.”
Carissa replied, “Celeste has changed her appearance, and since Eleanor has never publicly acknowledged her
identity, we cannot know what her intentions towards the Earl of Silverstone might be.”
Zoey understood Carissa’s meaning. Celeste was no longer merely a courtesan. With Eleanor’s downfall, she was
free. If she sought a benefactor, Oliver could certainly provide that for her.
If it were just that, Zoey wouldn't be overly concerned. However, Celeste was a concubine’s daughter from
Eleanor’s household. The SuprCourt was aware of this, as was Carissa. If Oliver got involved with her, it
could lead to complications that would be difficult to explain.
This could implicate the Earl of Silverstone’s family and affect Zoey’s children, and that was what truly worried
her.
“Your Grace, if Celeste truly has an affair with my husband, what will the SuprCourt think...?”
-Zoey began her question, but quickly realized it was inappropriate. This was a case of treason, and she
was already immensely grateful for Carissa’s visit to share such sensitive information.
To ask for more would be greedy.
However, Carissa understood Zoey’s unspoken concern and replied, “As of now, we don’t know. It will depend on
how the king perceives them. If he believes they are mere pawns and victims of circumstance, then even if the
Earl of Silverstone takes her as a concubine, it won't raise any issues. But if the king sees them as accomplices,
then we would have a serious problem.”

Violet chimed in, “Actually, based on the evidence we have so far, the former seems more likely. They were
coerced into this. Eleanor controlled their birth mothers and forced them to do things against their will. If they
refused, they faced severe punishments... But we shouldn't make any definitive claims, should we? After all, this
is a treason case, and everything hinges on the king's judgment.”
“I understand. Thank you for lettingknow, Ms. Spencer.”
Zoey was moved. She would always remember this kindness.
Carissa stood up. “We shouldn't overstay our welcome. Goodbye for now.”
Zoey rose to see her off, her demeanor already returning to normal. Violet admired this about Zoey-she could
always remain composed and handle her emotions with grace.
As they stepped out of the hall, they spotted Viola approaching, supported by Poppy.
When Viola saw them, her expression briefly faltered before anger flashed in her eyes as she confronted Zoey.
“What's the meaning of this? Why did you call her here? Did you tell her about my situation with Barrett on
purpose to embarrass me?” Viola snarled.
Zoey rubbed her temples in exasperation. Evelyn had been right. Viola seemed to have no brains.
Carissa shot Viola a curious glance.
Hadn't Barrett just been promoted? What was there to be embarrassed about?
