Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1145

Seeing Riley cry so desperately, Zoey felt a pang of sympathy. She knew that if Riley wasn't pushed to the brink, she wouldn't be here making such a scene.

"Bring Viola out here. Use any means necessary," Zoey instructed, her face darkening.

Jane and a few servants left the room.

Once they were gone, Zoey turned to Riley and said, "You came here to find closure. No matter what she says—whether it's truth or lies—you must trust your own instincts. Once you've listened, you'll have closure for yourself and will know what to do."

Riley wiped away her tears, revealing a pale face. She wasn't exceptionally beautiful, but there was a prideful air about her.

"Thank you, Mrs. Prince," she said softly.

Bianca also explained things to Zoey and Carissa, clarifying that they were just worried about Riley. Even with so many relatives around, they were only here to seek justice and nothing more.

They hadn't known about Silas and Viola's past affair. When Riley found out, she went home and told her family, who had urged her to let go of the past. It had been a moment of foolishness, and Riley shouldn't let it destroy her current marriage.

Once the matter was smoothed over, life went on.

Ever since they got married, Silas had been a model husband, not causing any scandals or bringing in concubines. But the other day, Riley came back crying, saying Viola and Silas were still in contact. They were seen pulling and tugging at each other in Arcane Sanctum, and Riley had caused a scene.

As parents and relatives, how could they not stand up for her?

Carissa listened to all this family gossip, which felt like a tangled mess.
