Watching the two people in front of her, Carissa felt a sense of absurdity.
Standing up, she looked at Aurora and said sternly, "Being a woman in this world is already hard enough. Why must you degrade us further? You're also a woman.
"Just because you've been on the battlefield and killed enemies, does that give you the right to treat other women like this? Do you only seeas someone who relies on having a family's heir to survive? Am I destined to do nothing but play a background role in this place?" Taken aback, Aurora frowned. "You're making a big deal out of this." Carissa's voice turned cold as she added, "Let's get a divorce, Barrett. There's no need to say anything else. It's not dignified to argue further." "Divorce? Aren't you just making threats now?" Aurora sneered coldly. "But I'm not someone you can easily threaten. Go ahead and make a scene. Damaging your own reputation will be your loss." She knew well that noblewomen valued their reputation dearly, especially someone like Carissa, who was the daughter of a marquis.
Barrett also spoke up, "Carissa, I won't divorce you. We're saying all this for your own good," "No need expression was calm, and she exuded a sense of dignity. "You're for that!" or just afraid of being criticized for being heartless and fickle. Everything you do is for yourselves, yet you hypocritically claim it's for my sake. It's sickening to hear."

Someone like you will never be able to understand our point of view. Until now, you still insist on clinging to the pretense of being a noble lady.

you "Do as you wish. I'm wholly devoted to Barrett. There's nothing to hide. Whether praised or criticized, I'll accept it all." Carissa replied, "If you're not afraid of others' criticisms, there's no need to chere."
Aurora stepped forward, facing her squarely. "I'm only afraid that someone might use the divorcelta gain sympathy and obstruct my marriage to Barrett. We obtained this marriage edict through our military achievements. We won't tolerate your interference."
Carissa shook her head, finding it all rather absurd. "Leave. Thisconversation is pointless. You are generals who have served the country; I have no wish to speak ill of you."
Her father and brothers were all military men who had sacrificed themselves on the battlefield on her heart, military officials who defended the homeland held the highest honor. She didn't want any further entanglement with them or to say anything disrespectful. "Lulu, show them out!" Carissa called out, lowering her gaze to hide the icy coldness in her eyes.
Lulu, who had been listening outside, immediately entered.
Her voice was cold as she said, "Generals, your mutual affection is your business. Please don't mistreat my lady, nor use military achievements to pressure her." "How dare you?!" Aurora shouted angrily. "You're just a lowly servant girl! How dare you speak so boldly to me?" X
