The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 160
“Darling, send Neris Trude away at once!”
The duke frowned in disbelief at his wife’s words as she stormed in, huffing and puffing.
“What are you talking about? I’ve already explained that we must take her in, and you agreed.”
“That was before I knew she’d be such an arrogant creature! I have a bad feeling about her. Do you even know what Valentine just told me?”
The duchess relayed to the duke what Valentine had just rushed to tell her—albeit with a bit of distortion and exaggeration added.
Roughly, it went like this: Neris disliked Valentine and took her frustrations out on Delma; she even ordered the duchess’s own maid around with mere nods, as if she were already formally adopted into the family; Delma had been beaten so badly she collapsed from shock and was now bedridden.
Knowing both his wife’s and his daughter’s temperaments well, the duke sighed.
“I told Valentine not to provoke her, yet she clearly intervened anyway.”
“Why are you blaming Valentine, who was perfectly calm?”
“Of course Valentine must have told Delma to act, or Delma stepped forward out of loyalty to Valentine. Do you not know our daughter’s character? Are you unaware of Delma’s devotion?”
Both husband and wife knew full well that Delma would sometimes act overly zealously on Valentine’s behalf. The duchess scoffed.
“Whatever the case may be, I refuse to live under the same roof as that creature. If you absolutely must keep her, give her a separate house or something.”
“That’s out of the question.”
The duke hardened his expression.
“I’ve just received word that the grand duke himself visited the palace. If she’s his target, I won’t make her any easier to reach. And it’s not just Zaan—it’s the Jewel Box. Nelusion explained it all to you, and you’re no fool, so why keep harping on a matter already settled?”
