Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 158
Chapter 158
“How absurd!”
Charlotte slammed her fist on the table. Her face, illuminated by the dim light of the courtyard, reflected her
fury.
Benjamin and Amelia, chastised by her outburst, lowered their heads. and remained silent, too afraid to speak.
“How dare you askto go to Northwatch Estate?! How can | show my face there? Am | to tell them that Barrett
regrets his decision because he married a venomous woman who beat her father-in-law?
“A household in disarray, and now, she’s expected to cback and clean up the mess, use her dowry to pay for
her mother-in-law’s medical expenses, and provide seasonal clothes for her younger sister-in-law?
“Shon you for even suggesting it! When you wanted Barrett to divorce her, did you show any compassion?
You even tried to claim her dowry! If it weren't for the king granting the divorce edict, wouldn't you have also
claimed her estate and shops?
“If you have the nerve, go ahead and ask her! | won't! Even if my face were as thick as a city wall, it wouldn't be
used as a stepping stone for you!
“Since you're so shameless, why don’t you go and seek Lady Avis? She was the one who mediated their
marriage! You didn’t dare to ask her for help when seeking a divorce. Now that you want
reconciliation, shouldn't you be asking her? Or are you afraid that Lady Avis will throw you out?
“Or do you think you can bully Lady Avis because she’s ill and cannot take charge? You dare to trample on her?
Don’t complain that my words are harsh! The disgraceful actions you've committed have tarnished the
reputation of the Warren family! The first branch of the
Tamily has squandered all the merit accumulated by our ancestors!”

After delivering this tirade, Charlotte summoned servants to drive. Benjamin and Amelia out, unwilling to hear
any more excuses from them. She was determined not to catch a heart disease from their bickering. The Warren
family’s assets had been squandered over the years, to the point even she couldn't afford Snowdrop Pills.
Benjamin and Amelia left Charlotte's presence feeling utterly defeated. They exchanged glances with pale faces.
Amelia hesitated for a long moment before suggesting, “Honey, it seems Mother is being unreasonable. Carissa
certainly won't want to cback. Why should we mediate for Barrett's side of the family?”
Benjamin scolded her sharply, “How can you say such divisive things? In the Warren family, we rise and fall
together. When Barrett achieved merit, we too gained srespect. Whether Carissa returns or not is another
matter, but as a family, we must speak with one voice.”
Amelia was inherently timid, so she fell silent under her husband's reprimand, not daring to argue further.
In truth, she harbored deep resentment towards Barrett's side of the family. She thought that with Barrett
becoming a general, the family would achieve great prestige. However, despite his military
achievements marking a promising beginning, he chose to marry Aurora and cast aside Carissa.
Since then, the family’s fortunes had declined. Rebecca couldn't even afford medicine, and although Amelia had
knelt at the
physician’s office to gain a reputation for being a dutiful daughter-in- law, she had been subjected to harsh
criticism and felt deeply distressed.
And when Aurora had caused such a commotion, she had called
Amelia incompetent and weak.
it Aurora could do it, why didn’t she
Well, Aurora did act. However, she only managed to nearly kill her father in law with her actions!
Strangely, no one thought to investigate this matter further. The sole focus was on bringing Carissa back, as if
her return would solve all the problems the Warren family was facing.
Amelia knew she shouldn't think this
way, but she couldn't help but agree

Benjamin went back to consult with his mother.
Rebecca sighed. “Your aunt has always been unreliable, and she isn’t to be counted on. But right now, she’s the
only one who can speak on our behalf with Carissa.”
She pondered for a moment.

“Agreed. We'll go and ask Lady Heather,” Benjamin said.
Just then, Barrett entered the room. His expression was stern as he said, “None of you are to approach Carissal”
