Unlike the description of being destitute, the man clearly bore the unmistakable air of nobility, and Helena—who had fled Evergale yet continued living luxuriously without a scratch.

Now everything finally fell into place. It was painfully obvious what funds she’d used. She must have meticulously planned and prepared for this even before leaving Evergale.

Pretending to have fled penniless while secretly siphoning Evergale’s money all along, and claiming her husband’s abuse drove her to divorce—when in truth she’d already been conspiring with another man.

Christine tilted her chin upward and surveyed the woman bowing deeply before her.
