Isolde’s thoughts drifted to someone. “Tomorrow, I'll ask Sadie to cand treat Marley. I'll leave Hattie here to

watch over her. Please arrange a place for Hattic to stay,” she instructed.

Ryker, taken aback by the fact that Isolde could manage to summon Sadie, looked at her with newfound respect.

“Understood. Everything will be arranged as you

say.

Isolde pulled out 1,000 coins from her pouch and handed them to him. “This is for the doctors’ fees. Keep track

of the total, and I'll reimburse you. Also, stay here for now. Don’t return to the Duke's estate just yet. Take care of

things here.

Ryker nodded as he accepted the money. “Understood, I'll take care of everything.

Isolde’s gaze sharpened, and she added. “Don’t try anything clever.”

Ryker chuckled nervously. “Of course not. | wouldn't dare.”

The weight on Isolde’s chest seemed to lift after finding Marley. She had a general idea of what had happened to

her in the past, but the details were still unclear. She needed to know everything, every last piece.

Prudence was quick in her actions. That day, Collin cto find Isolde and told her that Prudence had begun

unloading all the estates and properties she owned. Many of the shops were leased out, but Prudence was

determined to reclaim them, even at a loss on the rent. For those who didn’t want to move, she was offering

them for sale at a discounted price.

“She has the deeds, and these can be privately traded. She might manage to sell all the properties and estates

in a short time. Should we get involved?” Collin asked, worried.

Isolde thought for a moment about Garrett's return and replied, ‘No need. The properties she holds are still under

the Sharp family’s name. Even if she sells them at a bargain, someone might take them, but they're stamped

with her private seal. The Sharp family could pursue her for everything, and she would have to return everything

and pay the deposit back.”

Collin laughed. “So, it seems like she’s going to lose out in the end.”

“Exactly. She thinks the Sharp family won't caresince these were part of her dowry. But once Garrett returns to

Argentum and learns the whole story, she won't be able to escape the consequences.”

Collin grinned. “Sounds like a business opportunity.”

Isolde smiled slyly. “I have a lot of gold, and I'll borrow silver from the princess. Collin, with your reputation, we

can buy up the properties in bulk. When the Sharp family comes after her, we'll be the biggest sellers, and we'll

walk away with a fortune.”

Collin raised an eyebrow. “You trust me?”

“If 1 don’t trust you, who can | trust?”

“I won't let you down,” Collin promised, his eyes firm with resolve.

Isolde wasn’t concerned about the deposit penalties. Her goal was to drive Prudence into a corner, force her to

make a desperate move.

been found, wasted no tand called Sadie over.

After examining Marley, Sadie explained, “The poison she was given is the sas yours-cold poison. But the

dosage was light, so it seems she was just tasting food for someone. There's no immediate danger, but the long-

term effects have weakened her constitution. With proper care, she'll recover slowly.”

“And her madness?” Isolde asked, anxiety evident in her voice.

Sadie sighed. “That will take time. She’s been through a lot of trauma, and I've found several knife wounds on

her body. She must have been hunted down”

Isolde frowned. It didn’t make sense. Marley had seen Jessica just before leaving the Duke's estate, and Jessica

had handed over items that had been stolen from the manor. Marley had seemed fine at the tand hadn't

spoken of anything concerning her mother’s death. It was clear that Marley hadn’t known the full extent of her

mother’s fate. So, how had she ended up like this?

“Don’t worry. I'll treat her with acupuncture,” Sadie said, noticing Isolde’s troubled expression. “She’ll improve.”

Isolde looked at Sadie with genuine gratitude. “Thank you.”

Sadie was writing out a prescription but casually asked, “By the way, Clark is your older brother, right?”

Isolde nodded. “Yes. Do you know him?”

“I've met him once,” Sadie replied, still writing.

Once the prescription was ready, she handed it to Ryker before asking. “What do you think of Clark?”

Isolde blinked in surprise. “What do you mean, what do | think?”

Sadie didn’t break her serious demeanor as she looked directly at Isolde. “Well, what's your opinion of him?”

Isolde paused, unsure of where this conversation was headed. “He’s a kind and honest person,” she replied, a

little confused.

Sadie nodded thoughtfully. “Has anyone tried to matchmake for him?”

“No,” Isolde laughed. “Why? Do you know someone suitable?”

Sadie’s eyes sharpened. “What do you think of me?”

Isolde froze for a moment before her smile slowly faded. “Are you serious?”

Sadie’s expression remained deadpan. “I don’t waste words.”

Isolde’s lips trembled as she responded, “Of course! If Sadie were to marry Clark, that would be the most

wonderful thing in the world.”

A rush of excitement surged through Isolde. If Johnathan supported Clark, then Prudence’s attempts to use her

illness as an excuse wouldn't be able to trap her brother for long. Queen Mother would surely love Sadie and

give her a separate residence. The thought of how Priscilla and Prudence would seethe with jealousy filled Isolde

with anticipation.

Sadie nodded, her gaze firm. “Then tomorrow, I'll ask my mother to make a formal proposal.”

Isolde’s jaw dropped. “You're the one proposing?”

“Is there a problem with that?” Sadie asked, packing up her medical kit. “When a woman likes someone, she can

pursue them. Clark is a good man. If we wait too long, someone else will beat us to it. | don’t waste time. Don’t

you think it’s tto seize your own happiness?

Good man? Isolde could barely wrap her head around the idea. But... okay.

That evening, after Clark returned home, Isolde seized the opportunity to bring him ssoup.

“Clark, have you eaten?” she asked softly, pushing open the door and peeking inside.

Clark looked up and, seeing her, rubbed his tired brow. “I had a little. Did you save soup for me?”

“It's a nutritious soup, good for soothing your throat,” she said, setting it on the table and sitting down. “By the

way, did you hand in the report that day?”

Clark seemed distracted. “I did. Luka barely said a word when he looked at it. I'm not sure if it even made it to

the front lines.”

Isolde smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry. Gold always shines through in the end.”

Clark’s handsface softened with a warm smile. He looked at Isolde with a gentle expression. “Isolde, you

really are a flower of wisdom.”

Isolde gave a half-smile. “I think that title belongs to someone else. By the way, Clark, have you met any women

recently?”
