‘The secretary of the Lady of Halo? What on earth is this?’

Countess Corindel, Susan, felt a searing fury every time she thought of her daughter.

She had provided her with food and shelter, yet her daughter had run away and become the secretary to the Lady of Halo.

To Susan, it was a betrayal of the highest order.

What baffled her even more was that Ivetta had abandoned the opportunity to become part of the Rahinsel ducal family.

It wasn’t as though she had been ordered to marry the old Duke; this was an engagement to the charming Grand Duke of Rahinsel. Perhaps the only chance for her to marry a young, handsome man with immense wealth and power, and she had thrown it away.

Turning her back on the riches and honor of being the Grand Duchess to flee to a rural estate? It was incomprehensible to Susan.

‘That wretched girl! This time, I’ll lock her in the cellar and starve her for ten days straight!’

Susan clenched her teeth in anger. But for now, pleasing Carla took precedence.

“Please give me just ten days. I’ll do whatever it takes to bring my daughter back and have her kneeling obediently before you, Dowager Duchess.”@@novelbin@@

“Do you not understand what I’m saying, or are you simply pretending not to hear me? If the rumor spreads that your daughter worked as the secretary of the Lady of Halo, the noblewomen of the social circles will laugh until their jaws drop!”

Carla’s furious voice echoed through the alleyway.
