Chapter 279 Say That Again

Ashley wasn’t foolish enough to take this matter to the King.

She merely wanted to use it to blackmail Oliver and drive a wedge between him and Isolde,

Finished

Perhaps she had realized that Margaret was of little use and wanted to win Oliver over but couldn't bring herself

to do so openly, resorting to such underhanded tactics instead.

Harassing a woman, if it got out, would be more despised and loathed than murder or arson.

She believed that a righteous man like Oliver would surely yield to her threats.

But she was gravely mistaken if she thought she could drive a wedge between Oliver and Isolde.

Isolde was no ordinary woman confined to the inner chambers. She had seen her fair share of deceitful tricks and

wouldn't be bothered by such petty schemes.

Thus, after slapping Ashley, Isolde looked at her coldly, unafraid.

Ashley touched her face, her beautiful eyes burning with anger. Twice now, she had suffered at Isolde’s hands,

and both times it had been in plain sight.

The first time, Isolde had thrown her into the water; the second time, she had slapped her. Both actions were

direct and unapologetic, not caring if others witnessed them.

Such audacity could only cfrom someone who either relied on her achievements, her maternal family’s

influence, or sheer arrogance.

Ashley wasn’t afraid of people playing dirty. She could see through any scheme.

But she was at a loss when faced with such direct, reckless actions.

She had always believed that any conflict required strategy and cunning, and that no one could outwit her.

She never expected Isolde to be the type to throw wild punches instead of engaging in a battle of wits.

“You're indeed braver than others. Unfortunately, you don’t have good taste!” As she spoke, she glanced at

Oliver indifferently. “He looks like a gentleman on the surface, but underneath, he’s filthy and despicable. Only

you would trust him so blindly.”

With that, she walked out as if she hadn't just been humiliated, her back straight and her steps steady. exuding

an air of dignity.

Her posture and gait were strikingly similar to Margaret’s-her neck elongated, her back straight, her steps

neither hurried nor disordered, maintaining a balance of grace and poise.

Oliver, nervous, looked at Isolde, wanting to explain what had just happened. “Just now, |

Isolde turned and walked inside without a word, her face tense as if she were angry.

Oliver's heart sank. He knew she must have misunderstood, though she had defended him in front of Ashley.

He followed her inside, not saying a word, just watching her with a troubled expression.

Isolde had originally asked him to cback and fetch sclothes, but then the remembered that her

mother’s dowry box couldn't be left here, so she cto retrieve it herself. That was why she had witnessed

the sore..

“Tsolde, don’t you believe me? | would never harass her Oliver said anxiously as he watched her pack up the

jewelry box and head for the door

Isolde held the jewelry box in her arms, lowering her eyes as she spoke calmly. “Before, | asked Exete whe love

any woman who speaks to him and googe out his eyes of be so much as deem another woman. | slapped her

it’s not your fault. Im still angry right now. Don’t talk to me. You, who've been touched by another woman stay

away from me. I'll be fine once I've calmed down”

With that, Isolde packed up the box and walked out.

Oliver stood frozen in place.

But slowly, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he couldn't help but grin like a fool

She said. If you really like someone....

Out of all the words she had just hurled at him, that was the only sentence he remembered.

Miniro, his servant, cin and saw Oliver grinning like an idiot. Startled. Miniro asked. “Mr. Valois, what are you

laughing about?”

Oliver did not like to smile. In fact, in all the tMiniro had served him, he had hardly ever seen Oliver laugh.

Oliver looked at Miniro, patting his shoulder. “Maxro, prepare the horses. I'm going to the Landey residence!”

With that, he strode out.

Miniro wanted to protest the nicknbut, after touching his own face, decided it was futile and ran out to

prepare the horses.

Oliver chased after Isolde all the way to the Langley residence, only to find out that she hadn't gone there but

had instead gone to the Sharp residence.

So he rode to the Sharp residence.

He was an honored guest, and the servants quickly ushered him in.

“Isolde is in room Prudence’s room, a servant said, leading him to the room where laughter could be heard.

Oliver walked in to find Isolde leaning against Natasha, who was smiling broadly. Patricia was also there. laughing

uncontrollably.

He had no idea what had been said to make them so happy.

Oliver entered and paid his respects. Both Natasha and Patricia looked at him with teasing eyes, their laughter

growing even more unrestrained.

Oliver couldn’t help but smile too, his eyes cautiously seeking Isolde’s.

Chapter 279 Say That Again

Isolde shot him a glare. “What are you doing here?”

“To apologize,” Oliver said shamelessly.

“I'm not mad at you. What's there to apologize for? Isolde replied.

Finished

Natasha lightly tapped Isolde on the head. “Don’t speak to your husband like that. Go, take a walk with him

outside.

Isolde stood up and walked over to him. Oliver's eyes were fixed on her, gazing at her adoringly. “You're not

angry anymore?”

Patricia laughed. “Go on, Isolde was just teasing you. Would she really be angry with you? The Sharp family

doesn’t raise such petty girls!”

“The offense was quite serious. It’s only natural for her to be angry. It has nothing to do with being petty. Oliver

defended Isolde.

Natasha laughed even harder. “Why does he sound like a fool now? Well, a fool is good. Fools don’t know how to

bully people. He'll be a henpecked husband in the future.”

Isolde blushed and pulled him out.

As they walked, Oliver said, “I am a henpecked husband.”

Isolde let go of his hand. “I was just teasing you. Did you take it seriously?”

Her anger had subsided now, but she had genuinely been upset earlier.

It was at that moment that she understood what Ehad said.

Because when she saw what had happened, her first impulse had been to whip Ashley’s hands off.

And at that moment, a flood of vulgar curses had rushed through her mind-the kind the village women used

when they found out their husbands had visited brothels.

Though she had held back from saying them out loud, she had cursed Ashley thoroughly in her heart.

Oliver said softly, “You can keep being angry if you want. You look really beautiful when you're angry.”

Isolde looked up at him. “If I'm angry, | won't talk to you. Do you really wantto be angry?”

Oliver naturally took her hand. “I was wrong.”

“Forget it!”

“Repeat what you just said.”

“Forget it!”

“Not that. What you said tobefore you left the Valen residence earlier. Say it again.”
