Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 205
The leisurely and relaxed carpenter’s wife was gone, and the mistress of Whitefield had returned. She calmly soothed Remwick.
“Don’t blame yourself, Remwick. Let’s focus on sorting out the situation. Is anyone else injured?”
“Fortunately, no. Deborah, who happened to be nearby, tripped Betty and brought her down.”
“Well done. Has Betty been safely handed over to the authorities? When is the trial scheduled?”
“Well… about that…”
Remwick licked his lips again, a habit when he was uneasy.
“Mr. Finch doesn’t want to press charges against Betty.”
“…Doesn’t want to?”

“For now, Remwick, go and find out the details of the incident. We need to know the circumstances to decide who should be dismissed and how.”
“Yes, my lady.”
The two sipped peppermint tea in silence.

She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
