The Swordswoman's Revenge Story after Rebirth

Chapter 286 Pablo's Return

The people present felt that Margaret's words were not entirely credible.

#Finished

However, since they were part of the Valen family, they naturally sided with the family, primarily to avoid

escalating the situation. If this matter were to blow up, it would tarnish the reputation of the entire Valen clan.

Therefore, Pablo’s aunt spoke up, “Mrs. Sharp, today’s matter isn’t so much about who's right or wrong. What's

important is that the marriage between our two families must continue. Why don’t both sides take step back?

The Valen family can make up for what was lacking in the betrothal gifts, and the Langley family should consider

Isolde’s situation. Let's turn a big issue into a small one. Wouldn't that be for the best?”

After speaking to Natasha, she turned to Margaret, Today, you were the one who made the first mistake. You

should sincerely apologize to Mrs. Sharp and say you're sorry. Before it gets dark, send over the missing items so

that both families can reconcile.”

Mrs. Marquis of Eldermere naturally could not be changed again. She had changed tand tagain. and her

credibility was completely gone.

Margaret could no longer change her stance. If she kept flip-flopping, she would lose all credibility. So she firmly

stated. “Since Mrs. Sharp wants an explanation, then let's have one. After all, today Lillian and | suffered great

humiliation at the Langley residence, hearing many harsh and unpleasant words. If we are still wronged in the

end, then so be it.”

Natasha listened to this with a cold smile but remained silent.

Among those present was a relative from Margaret's maternal family, the wife of Minister Harper, Caroline.

Although she knew Margaret was in the wrong, she felt the Sharp family was being too aggressive.

Thus, she said indifferently. “What's the point of arguing about right or wrong now? Do you really not want

proceed with the marriage? If the marriage falls through, will your granddaughter be any more honorable? She's

already been rejected once before. Isn't that shameful enough? Coming here with such a confrontational attitude

is simply too much!”

Natasha coldly glanced at her, “What is your surname? Which family do you belong to?”

Caroline snorted. “I am the wife of Harper from the Ministry of Personnel. It's normal that you don’t recognize

me, as you haven't been in Argentum for a long time.”

Natasha turned to Patricia. Take note. We'll deal with this sharp-tongued woman later.”

Caroline was taken aback, then angrily retorted, “Who are you calling sharp-tongued? I've been respectful

because you're elderly, but given what you've done today if it were up to me, | would have-"

Natasha suddenly cut her off fiercely. “If it were up to me, based on what you just said, | would have torn your

mouth apart!”

Caroline was startled. Meeting Natasha's cold, menacing gaze, she swallowed her words and shrank back into

her chair, not daring to speak further.

Meanwhile, Margaret excused herself, claiming she needed to use the restroom. Once outside, she quickly went

to find Lillian and instructed her on what to say. She also told the maids to coordinate their stories with those

who had delivered the betrothal gifts. After finishing her instructions, she slowly returned to the

main hall.

When she entered, Natasha gave her a knowing glance, as if aware of what she had been up to.

Finished

The family guards soon fetched Pablo. They didn’t explain the reason, only saying that Natasha was at the

residence and wanted to see him.

Pablo didn’t dare to delay. Natasha rarely left her home, so her sudden visit to the Valen residence must mean

something important.

He knew about the betrothal gifts being sent today and had instructed his people to handle the matter carefully

before leaving.

Could something have gone wrong? It shouldn't have. The Langley family didn’t care much about the value of

the gifts, and the items sent were all of high quality. As for the jewelry, it was also exquisite, and Isolde and

Natasha shouldn't have been concerned about such material things.

He asked the guards, but they remained tight-lipped, saying he would understand once he returned. If they told

him beforehand, he might form preconceived notions, which wouldn’t be fair.

Anxious, Pablo hurried back on horseback.

When he arrived at the residence, he saw a row of soldiers standing outside. His heart sank. The soldiers saluted

him, and he quickly entered.

Inside, he saw the room filled with people, mostly from his own family. Natasha sat in the main seat, her

demeanor imposing and her expression stern.

In Pablo’s memory, Natasha had always been gentle and kind. The only the had seen her like this was when

a traitor among the Sharp family’s generals had nearly cost Garrett his life.

Now that he saw her like this, his heart sank. He hurriedly went forward and bowed. “Honor to meet you. Mrs.

Sharp!”

He knelt on one knee, a gesture of deep respect.

Natasha showed no emotion and simply said, “Rise.”

Pablo stood up but remained slightly bowed, standing in front of Natasha,

Margaret looked calm, even gesturing to a maid to bring back Lillian, who had been thrown out earlier.

Natasha looked at Pablo and said, “I ctoday to seek an explanation from the Valen family regarding a

certain matter.”

Pablo responded straightforwardly, “Mrs. Sharp, please speak. If you have been wronged, | will surely seek

justice for you.”

Margaret's eyes, which had just lit up, quickly dimmed.

She was afraid that this would happen.

She had feared this-that he would blindly trust the Sharp family without asking for details.

Natasha raised her hand slightly, “Whether | have been wronged remains to be seen. | wasn’t involved in the

matter and only heard about it from my daughter-in-law. Before | speak, let's hear what your wife has to

say.”

Chapter 286 Pablo's Returni

Finished

Margaret's expression remained unchanged, “Didn’t the guards explain the situation to you on the way here?”

Pablo glanced at her and said coldly, “They said nothing, only toldto return immediately.”

Margaret looked up at him with tears in her eyes. She was aggrieved and pretended to be stubborn. “I only ask

you one thing, do you believe me?”

In front of so many people, he couldn't say he didn’t believe her, especially with her family members

present.

Over the years, he had treated her and her family well, though he had grown distant since the incident involving

Isolde.

So, she decided to gamble on their over twenty years of marital affection.

But

at Pablo cut straight to the point, “Enough with the nonsense. Speak!”

Margaret's voice was low and mournful, “If you don’t believe me, what's the point ofspeaking?”

“Letspeak!” Lillian, the aunt who had been thrown out earlier, stormed in, her face filled with anger.

She strode into the room and stood directly in front of Pablo, demanding sharply, “Pablo, if you don’t believe your

wife, do you believe me?”

Pablo frowned upon seeing her. He was well aware of Lillian’s temperament-she was the most sharp- tongued in

the family. He had previously instructed Margaret not to let her interfere too much in the wedding arrangements.

However, out of respect for his elder, he bowed slightly, “Lillian, please speak.”

Lillian nodded emphatically and declared firmly, “Good! If you believe me, then sit down and listen. carefully. |

will explain today’s events in detail, every single word of it!”

Seeing her righteous indignation, Pablo felt she didn’t seem to be the one at fault. He glanced at Natasha in

confusion and slowly took a seat.

Lillian walked up to Patricia and sneered, “Today, my niece-in-law and | went to deliver the betrothal gifts. It was

you who received us at the Langley residence, wasn't it?”

The niece-in-law she was talking about was Margaret, of course.

Patricia, seeing her aggressive and domineering attitude, as if she were the one who had suffered greatly, coldly

replied. “That's right. The two of you cto deliver the betrothal gifts, and | was the one who received you at

the Langley residence.”
