Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1081

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."
