Violet’s heart sank. “What are we supposed to do? Just let him continue to harm his daughters? For the sake of his so–called career, he’s sacrificing one daughter after another, treating them like mere objects to be given away!
“And I just can’t understand why he would push Karen to kill herself. With such a vile mind, shouldn’t he have kept her alive so that… Ugh, I can’t even finish that thought.”
Rafael picked up his cutlery, took a few bites, then put them down again. He had lost his appetite.
“Because he doesn’t know who the culprit is. The whole thing has already leaked out, and he’s afraid there might be consequences. So, it was easier for him to have Ms. Whitley kill herself, deny her being his daughter, and cut off any future leverage. He probably erased her from the family record too,” the prince explained.
Violet’s eyes blazed with fury. “Is there really nothing we can do? Can we only watch as he keeps ruining his daughters? The officials are so corrupt, yet the king won’t do anything? Isn’t the prime minister going to intervene either?”
“Of course, we can launch an investigation. The Supreme Court can look into it,” Rafael said, glancing at Carissa. “But if we want to avoid involving Ms. Whitley, the investigation would have to focus on other aspects of Mr. Whitley’s life. He’s just a minor official in the Protocol Department. He has no power to embezzle, and his negligence doesn’t warrant much attention.
“We could look into his family life or his character, but externally, he has a decent reputation. He knows how to maintain a good public image. The greatest evil here is selling his daughter for his own gain, and even selling his sister to further his ambitions.”
“So, to take him down, there are only two options,” Violet said. “One is to drag Karen into this, but I won’t do that. The other is to fabricate charges against him.”
Carissa pressed her fingers together, then lifted her gaze to look at Violet. “There’s a third option. We can keep him bedridden for the rest of his life, unable to hold office, barely surviving, and living at the mercy of his wife and daughters.”
Violet’s eyes brightened, then she glanced at Rafael and whispered, “Let’s talk about this in private later. His Highness is from the Supreme Court–he’s responsible for the law. He can’t hear about this.”
Rafael picked up his cutlery again, eating slowly. “I didn’t hear anything. Eat up. No matter what happens, don’t neglect your stomach.”
Violet smiled, clearly pleased. “Yes, of course. All of us should eat well.”
Carissa took a few bites of her food, then paused, setting the cutlery down. “The man who

harmed Karen also needs to be found. I’ll have the Capital Guard look into it.”
“Leave that beast, Douglas, to me, Cari,” said Violet, who was always merciless when it came to scum like him. “You just focus on replaceing the man who hurt Karen.”
Rafael spoke up, “The hot spring is owned by The Golden Tower’s young heir and manager, Nathaniel Judd. If you want to investigate, it might be better to start there. Give him a heads–up. If he’s willing to cooperate, any issues that arise will make the Capital Guard’s investigation more legitimate.”
Carissa immediately understood. “Got it. I’ll do that.”
To investigate the people who came and went from the hot spring around that time, it would be ideal if something had happened there that day, like perhaps a guest losing valuable jewelry. That way, the Capital Guard’s involvement would be perfectly reasonable and not raise suspicion.
Being an official, Rafael understood the intricate workings of the system and knew how to maneuver through its loopholes.
After dinner, Carissa discussed the plan with Violet. They would investigate first, then act -giving the beast a few more days to live.
Having calmed down now after acting out of anger earlier, Violet looked at Carissa with concern. “But you’re a court official. Do you think this approach might cause trouble? If it’s discovered, will you still be able to keep your position?”
Carissa sighed. “There’s no other way. In this world, if we make Karen’s suffering public, she won’t have a chance at survival. Her sisters would be in trouble too. The law might be more refined now, but there are always corners that get overlooked. But if it comes to it, we’ll have to rely on brute force.”
Violet felt her blood boiling, eager to take action, but Carissa placed a hand on her arm to steady her and said, “I don’t recommend using this method unless we absolutely have to. Otherwise, what would the law even be worth?”
Violet nodded solemnly. “Yes, the law must be upheld. Otherwise, His Highness’ position as Chief Judge would be meaningless.”
