Chapter 1077

Viola’s heart was as cold as ice. She couldn’t understand why she kept ending up in this

situation.

Divorce was always a last resort–something she had never wanted to resort to unless absolutely necessary. She turned to her father–in–law Jonathan and her brother–in–law Benjamin, hoping they could help persuade Barrett. She even went so far as to seek Charlotte’s support, who had long been indifferent to their affairs.

The death of Amelia had utterly hardened Charlotte’s heart. So, it was surprising that she agreed after hearing what Viola said. “Return to the military and starting from the bottom again? That’s a good idea. I support it.”

Viola knew better than to rely on Charlotte. But she thought since the woman was still an elder in the family, Barrett might listen if she stepped in to persuade him.

After hearing the words, Viola angrily swept the cup off the table. “If you won’t help, at least spare us the cold remarks.”

With that, she stood up and left.

Jonathan and Benjamin didn’t try to persuade Barrett. It wasn’t that they agreed with Barrett becoming a common soldier. The truth was, asking Zoey for help was unrealistic. Although the two families were supposed to support each other after the marriage, the Warren family’s influence was all but gone.

What was the point of continuing to help someone who could offer nothing in return? Even a dog would grow tired of it.

After trying–and failing–Viola returned to Silverstone Estate.

She made her intentions clear: she wanted a divorce. She couldn’t stay in the Warren family, not when the man who once held such power was now nothing more than a common soldier. The ridicule would be unbearable. Besides, no one knew when the king might take the estate back. Would she have to rent a home then?

Naturally, Evelyn didn’t allow it. She immediately sent for Zoey, but was told Zoey had gone to Skye Embroidery.

In truth, Zoey had deliberately gone away. She had already heard from Poppy about Viola’s plans.

Her younger sister–in–law’s impulsiveness annoyed Zoey, who didn’t want to offer any advice that might later be thrown back at her. Of course, she wasn’t happy about Viola’s repeated threats of divorce and returning to her family. It would surely affect the marriages of her children.

But what could she do?

Zoey couldn’t stop Viola from returning to stay at Silverstone Estate. In this world, a woman wasn’t considered part of her birth family after she was married. However, Zoey herself had a daughter. She couldn’t bring herself to turn her back on Viola like that.

Avoiding it altogether seemed simpler.

In a way, Zoey’s arrival at Skye Embroidery saved Violet, who had been dealing with Molly for two days straight. Molly had been insisting that Violet visit Edgeview Estate.

Violet knew exactly what Yuvan was after and had been planning to give him a piece of her mind. However, since Carissa had advised her not to go and not to stir up trouble, she decided to listen and avoid making Carissa angry.

When Zoey arrived, Violet quickly made an excuse for being busy and sent Molly away.

“How’s Karen doing?” Zoey asked.

“Still the same,” Violet sighed. “Won’t eat, won’t talk. She’s just waiting for you to come and talk to her.”

Violet shook her head, worry etched on her face. “I don’t dare leave her alone. I’m afraid if I do, she might try something again.”

Karen Whitley had come two days ago, but not on her own accord. Carissa had saved her and brought her back.

The other day, while Carissa and Michael had been out on patrol, they found Karen standing at the very bridge where Amelia had tried to take her life. Just as Karen was about to jump, Carissa used her Lightfoot Skill to rush over and save her. Then, she brought Karen back to the workshop.

Seventeen years old, delicate as a flower, but there was no spark of life left in her eyes. All she wanted was to die. Even back at the workshop, she had been contemplating throwing herself against the wall.

Her family lived on Hibiscus Lane in the capital. Her dad was an official in the Protocol Department, holding a sixth–rank position. Though his position wasn’t high, their family upheld a strict code of conduct.

However, that discipline turned to cruelty when it came to Karen’s disgrace. Not only did they refuse to report it to the authorities, but her dad even blamed her for the dishonor and insisted that she take her own life.

Karen’s mom, unable to bear it, secretly helped her daughter escape.

But where could a young girl go? Her body and reputation were ruined, and her life was shattered. So, she had gone to the bridge from which Amelia had jumped, intending to end it all the same way.

Karen had been in Skye Embroidery for two days now, refusing to eat or drink. If this continued, her life would certainly be lost.

The story of her being humiliated and kicked out of her home was something Violet heard from the servants of the Whitley family.

When Carissa went to speak with Karen’s father, Douglas Whitley, he denied everything. He denied having a daughter named Karen and acted as if he didn’t know what Carissa was talking about. He even brought out his other daughters who also denied it, saying there was no such person as Karen in their family.
