Violet was puzzled. “But why? Your mom is a daughter of the Lester family, and you're their granddaughter. Why
won't they take you back?”
Carmen shushed her. “Keep your voice down. My mom might hear you.”
Violet suggested, “Let’s step outside to talk. | need to wait for Ivy anyway. She thinks you're still at Lester Estate,
so let's go wait for her over there.”
They opened the door and stepped outside. As Violet walked a few steps away, she turned back to look.
“Is this cabin really where they let you stay?”
Carmen replied coolly, “It was originally rented out, but since it fell into disrepair, no one wanted to rent it
anymore. They haven't fixed it and said we can stay temporarily until the case is settled. Then, they'll bring us

Carrying heavy loads can earn you smoney, right?”
Carmen gave Violet a sidelong glance, feeling that she was sometimes too blunt when speaking.
*'ve looked into it before, but it’s still better than working as a server in coffeehouses or taverns.”
Though Violet lived a life of luxury, she understood the struggles of martial artists. Carrying heavy loads was
tough work, and those who did it often faced mistreatment. Even serving as a female bodyguard in a wealthy
household cwith its challenges.
“Don’t you have any special skills?” Violet asked.
Carmen initially wanted to say her martial arts skills were it, but she hesitated. It felt a bit ridiculous to boast
about them in front of Violet.
After a moment of reflection, she said, “I can cook a mean pulled pork.”
“Since you're not afraid to put yourself out there, why not set up a stall to sell pulled pork?”

something owed to you. And speaking of which, aren't you from the Kingsley family? Why didn’t they take you
in?”
“The Kingsley family can barely look after themselves, and the Lester family is the same. They've been closely

Violet took a moment to gather her thoughts before saying, “Cari askedto tell you something. Be prepared
for it, and don’t take it too hard.”
Carmen raised her chin and smiled bitterly. “What more can | not accept? Even my dad, whom | respected, has
betrayed me. | always thought he loved my mom and that we were on the sside, but he was just using us.

Violet looked at Carmen's slightly bony shoulders and sighed.
“Well, whether you can handle it or not, | need to tell you this-sometimes, the world can be incredibly cruel. The
SuprCourt has questioned one of Harmony Palace’s household physicians, Billy. He admitted that your sister
ordered him to add a drug to your mom’s medicine to worsen her condition.”
Carmen's eyes widened as she took an instinctive step back, anger flooding her features.
“That's impossible! Absolutely impossible! Why are you slandering my sister? What ulterior motives do you
have? What do you want from us? I've had enough! You've already shownyour lack of respect during the

“I know my status doesn’t merit your trust, but now you're trying to sow discord between my sister and me? Do
