Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1035

Violet couldn't help but think that Jessica truly was something else—bad, without a doubt, but also truly foolish.

She probably inherited her foolishness, which Eleanor must have already accepted and moved on. Otherwise, why would Eleanor have kept everything from her daughter after all those years of planning?

With that thought, Violet couldn't resist asking, "How much do you know about your mom's situation?"

"What's it to you?" Jessica instantly tensed, eyeing her warily. "Don't try to frame me. I don't know anything!"

Seeing how defensive she was, Violet decided not to push further, instead asking about the maids in her former household. She seemed to think they were trustworthy and loyal to her.

"Even after I was divorced, I didn't take them with me. They won't be mistreated in Ironridge Estate, and Madam Margaret is lenient. There's no reason for them to suffer with me," said Jessica.

Carissa raised an eyebrow. "You've never considered that Serena might try to harm you? How did the medicine end up switched so carelessly?"

"She wouldn't dare," Jessica responded firmly. "Since she entered the house, she's relied on me for everything. Why would she try to harm me?"

"You say that, but didn't she sell you out?"

Jessica paused, then instinctively defended Serena, explaining, "She was afraid they would find out, so she sold me out. She only added laxatives to the medicine. She didn't actually harm anyone."

"You're such a good person," Violet said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Hearing the sarcasm loud and clear, Jessica turned her face away, silent.
