Margaret's eyes darted around the room as she looked at the closed doors. She sighed and said, “Mrs, Sharp, |

know Lillian spoke out of turn today, and I've been apologizing for her. But Lillian has already angered Patricia

and Christine. | truly can’t handle this situation anymore. Please, be understanding”

“Shifting blame?” Natasha sneered. “Are you saying that everything today was Lillian’s doing and has nothing to

do with you?”

Margaret stood up and bowed in apology. “I am the one at fault. If | had been able to restrain my aunt. things

wouldn't have escalated to this point. As for the betrothal ceremony. I left it to the servants to handle. which was

my oversight. Such an important matter should have been handled bypersonally.”

Everyone was stunned by Margaret's words.

Although Lillian had been the one criticizing the Langley family earlier, Margaret hadn't refuted her and had even

nodded occasionally. Didn't that mean she agreed with Lillian?

So why was it suddenly all Lillian’s fault?

if it

Natasha's sharp gaze swept across the room as she said sternly, “I'll take the liberty of asking all of you: were

your family arranging a marriage, would you strictly follow the customs and traditions? Would you send roosters

for the betrothal ceremony? Would you leave out the betrothal cakes and livestock for the betrothal gifts?”

This question left everyone speechless.

If it were their own family’s wedding, of course, they would follow every detail meticulously. How could the

betrothal cakes be missing? That would be like cursing the bride’s family to be cut off from their relatives. The

betrothal cakes were meant to be distributed to the bride's family and friends.

You couldn't expect the bride’s family to buy their own betrothal cakes.

As for the livestock, that was even more essential.

For a family like the Valen family, the livestock should at least include pigs, sheep, and cattle. Only smaller

families would use chickens as a substitute.

These were the basics.

And how could the gift box be missing lotus seeds and lily bulbs? These were the most important symbols,

blessing the couple with early fertility and a harmonious marriage.

The omissions were too deliberate.

Earlier, everyone had been quick to gossip and criticize without considering the facts.

Now, when it cto discussing the matter seriously, they realized how unreasonable the Valen family had

been. No wonder the Sharp family was angry.

The stronger party won, and public opinion shifted accordingly.

Natasha, having worked in the business world, understood this principle.

She had first pressured Margaret, and now the outsiders naturally switched sides.

And during the confrontation, she needed these people to speak up.

“Ashley has arrived!” A servant's voice rang out from outside.

Finished

The servant, seeing the situation turning against them, had hurried to seek help. With no one else available in

the residence, Ashley was the only one who could cand calm the situation.

So the servant had rushed to invite her.

Ashley was Margaret's adopted daughter, so when the servant said Margaret needed her, she couldn't refuse.

But when she arrived at the door and saw the dozen or so soldiers, her heart sank. It seemed she was being

used as a pawn.

She wasn’t foolish. She had already seen what kind of person Margaret was-ineffective and unwilling to pur in

effort. Such a person was unreliable. Moreover, after spending a few days in the residence, she knew that Pablo

no longer favored Margaret.

So, upon learning that Natasha was inside, she quickly formed a plan.

Unlike the others, she didn’t believe the Sharp family was inferior to the Valen family.

Pablo had once served under Garrett. Soldiers valued loyalty, tradition, and respect. Even though Pablo now held

a high position, he would never disrespect Garrett.

Thus, when she entered, she first went to greet Natasha.

Natasha stood up to return the greeting. “So you have arrived. | apologize for not greeting you properly.”

“Mrs. Sharp, please don’t stand on ceremony. Take your seat!” Ashley said with a smile.

The other ladies also stood up to greet her. As a concubine, Ashley didn’t need to return their greetings, but

since she was now the adopted daughter of the Valen family, these were her relatives. So, she gave a slight.

bow.

The servant who had brought her in said, “Ashley, there's been a bit of a misunderstanding between the Valen

and Langley families. It's nothing serious. Could you act as a mediator and help both sides discuss this calmly?”

Margaret looked at Ashley and said, “Since Ashley is here, there's no need to invite Pablo. Mrs. Sharp, what do

you think?”

Patricia glared at Margaret. By bringing Ashley in as a mediator, if Natasha refused to give Ashley any face, it

would be seen as disrespecting the King.

But if Ashley suggested smoothing things over, the Sharp family would only have half-vented their anger.

Natasha remained silent, but Ashley smiled and said, “Margaret, you are joking. How can | give an opinion on the

marriage between two families? Mrs. Sharp is the most senior here. Let's listen to her first.”

Natasha smiled at her. “Thank you, Ashley, for your consideration.”

“Mrs. Sharp, you're too kind.”

Margaret clenched her teeth, almost wishing she could slap Ashley.

Ashley couldn't be trusted.

Finished

The servant's interruption with Ashley’s arrival had given Margaret a moment to collect herself. Since Pablo had

to be called, she would stick to her story. She had made a mistake due to the rush, but the Langley family had

thrown them out. She had already instructed the gift bearers to stick to the sstory. If the Sharp and Langley

families wanted to drag this out, so be it!

Even if | suffer, | won't let you have the upper hand!

So, her expression darkened, and she said sharply, “Enough! Mrs. Sharp, | respect your seniority, and you are

Pablo’s master’s wife. That's why, when you entered. | protected the Sharp family’s reputation by saying it was

all our fault. | even wronged my aunt by hiding the fact that the Langley family threw us out. “I wanted to

smooth things over, but you've gone too far. If you don’t believe me, go ask the people who delivered the

betrothal gifts today. See how your daughters-in-law treatedand my aunt.”

Natasha had already sent someone to invite Pablo, so she wasn’t worried. She said calmly. “Don’t worry. I'm here

today to get to the bottom of this. The Langley family won't suffer losses, and we won't let you be wronged for

nothing.”

Patricia, who had been worried earlier, now felt reassured by Natasha's words. She said lightly, “I must thank you

for caring so much about the Sharp family’s reputation. As for asking your gift bearers, why not ask the people in

the Langley family? Would your servants dare to tell the truth instead of lying for you? “Since you claim that

everything was done properly today and that we threw you out, let's wait for Pablo to return and sort this out.

After all, there were so many people here earlier listening to your contradictory statements. It's quite amusing.
