Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1375

True enough, the Shadow Guard was focused on The Golden Tower's assistant.

Seeing that the banknotes given from Willowbrook Estate's account room weren't enough, the Shadow Guard searched the shop assistant's body at the gatehouse. The shop assistant was only let go after the Shadow Guard didn't find anything.

The shop assistant felt insulted but didn't dare speak up. He found it strange—The Golden Tower had been in business for many years, and many customers had outstanding debts. Usually, after collecting the debts, the master of the household would even offer refreshments.

No one had ever searched a shop assistant like this before.

The Shadow Guard reported this to Nicholas. He thought that since they had already searched the shop assistant and had been keeping an eye on things at The Golden Tower, it wasn't too important.

After all, Chaya always found ways to make Hayden buy jewelry for her, showing she was a greedy woman.

Nicholas had observed Chaya for a long time and felt she had no real cunning. She loved food, drinks, entertainment, and especially gold and jewelry. However, she didn't care much for fancy clothes—she was too overweight for them to look good on her.

Chaya fit the role she was here for perfectly. She was meant to accompany an old man just to get money. The Shadow Guard, who was now dead, had heard her conversation with Hayden, where she had said she would accompany Hayden to death in the future.

After living a long life, Hayden had been fooled by a young woman—spending every day either taking her out for food and fun, or buying her gold and jewelry.

Did he really think that a young woman would stay with him as he grew old and died? Hayden was too naive.

After surviving the assassination attempt, Carissa still went to the Capital Guard headquarters every day. But today, the rain was too heavy. Kyle stopped her, so she didn't go out.

According to the plan, there was likely to be a major battle tomorrow, so it didn't matter whether she went to the Headquarters today. She had already given the necessary orders.

When Nathaniel arrived at Hell Monarch Estate, Carissa was there. Hearing the details, she immediately opened the letter.

After reading it, her face turned ashen.

Kyle saw her reaction, took the letter, and looked at it with Jacob. After they both finished reading, they both clenched their teeth and exclaimed in unison, "It's him?!"
