There was a reason why Riley had cto cause a scene.
First, the rumors outside had becunbearable. With everyone knowing Silas was in charge of the herbs at
Arcane Sanctum, the place was packed, not with patients, but with people eager to hurl insults at him.
The constant commotion had severely disrupted the sanctum, to the point where sick patients couldn't even get
in. Left with no choice, Sebastian, who had just returned from collecting herbs, had to make a public statement.
He announced that Silas was fired and would no longer be associated with the sanctum. 6
The second reason had to do with the match the Farrell family had carefully arranged for Thomas. His mother,
Alice, was quite pleased with the prospective bride, and the young woman's family had agreed as well. The only
thing left was for Thomas to consent and the formal engagement would be sealed.
But when the news got out, the young woman's family sent a matchmaker to call things off, saying the marriage
proposal was to be considered as if it had never been discussed. The two families had only ever met for coffee
and light conversation, nothing more.
This enraged Alice so much that she returned to her parents‘ house to seek their support.

The Lewis family elders called Silas back and harshly scolded him for his careless behavior, noting that he had
no regard for family ties. Not only had he failed to clean up his mess after all these years, but he had made his
troubles public, dragging down the Lewis family’s reputation. And as if that wasn’t enough, he had ruined
Thomas’ reputation and the Farrell family as well.
Having lost his position at Arcane Sanctum and with his nnow utterly tarnished, Silas was furious. And when
he received further scolding from the Lewis family, he angrily declared that he would return hand divorce
his wife.
Perhaps he had said it in the heat of the moment, or perhaps he truly intended to divorce her. But once those
words left his mouth, they lit a fire within Riley.
Her family wasn’t particularly powerful and her father was only a sixth-rank official. Regardless, how could a
father allow his daughter to be so humiliated? Several of Riley's brothers-in-law immediately went to confront
Silas. After giving him a beating, they sent their women to find Viola.
The reason for going to see Viola was simple-Riley believed that Viola had intentionally sought out Silas. She was
convinced it wasn't a coincidence, but a deliberate action with sill purpose behind it.
Riley’s family-the Claude family-was large, with numerous relatives. A group of over twenty, including aunts,
uncles, and servants, gathered together and marched to

Silverstone Estate.
At first, they hadn't caused a scene, only demanded that Viola cout and explain herself to Riley.
But Viola was too afraid to face them. She hid inside, wishing desperately that she were already at the
countryside villa to avoid such humiliation.
Viola refused to cout, while Zoey was running a high fever and couldn’t handle the situation. Evelyn was in
poor health and couldn't endure such a scene. With no other choice, Luna had to step in and deal with it.
However, she was not prepared for such a confrontation. As the voices grew louder and the mood more heated,
she found herself struggling to keep control.
Fearing a public disturbance, one of the servants rushed out to alert the authorities.
Fortunately, they encountered the Garrison Unit, who had been patrolling diligently of late, and led them toward
the scene.

The situation in the capital had already started to settle down after days of gossip, but this commotion stirred
everything back up. It drew crowds eager to watch the unfold. When the Claude family saw the Garrison
Unit approaching, they began shouting that they wanted a fair judgment, or else they would escalate things to
an even greater disturbance. The crowd grew, and the tension in the air thickened. Max was away on duty, and
with Carissa stationed at the Capital Guard headquarters, she was the one who had to step in. The Garrison Unit
could handle disputes like this, as long as no one reported it to the authorities. In most cases, it was up to the
Garrison Unit to manage things.
Carissa’s presence was, therefore, entirely reasonable.
When she arrived, she found out that Zoey had been running a high fever for two days with no signs of
improvement. With the noise and chaos going on, she was worried it would disturb Zoey’s rest.
With a swift motion, Carissa cracked her whip twice, the sharp sound silencing the crowd instantly. All eyes
turned toward her, the authority in her stance undeniable as she stood in her official attire.
Seizing the moment, Carissa sternly said, “Enough! No more shouting. If you have something to say, take it
inside. What is this madness, making such a scene here?”
