Athena’s words sent shivers down Henry’s spine. Her words echoed in his mind as he thought, “The duke’s estate is finished
If Nicolas was convicted and Kurtis’s case was overturned, Eloise would undoubtedly be thrown into prison.
Matthew Menson and Joseph Menson were both good for nothing. The duke’s estate simply had almost no hope of recovery after this.
Henry thought, “A century old legacy is going to be ruined in my hands.
‘How could ever accept this p>
Henry cried out frantically, “No. There has to be a way. There just has to be p>
Suddenly, an idea struck Henry. He rushed into the courtyard while shouting at the top of his lungs, “Mother. Please, come out and save your son. Save the duke’s estate. Mother…
Eloise collapsed to the ground in a daze, her mind reeling. “No, this is absolutely impossible. I’m the Duchess. How can someone of my status go to jail?
“Athena, you are my daughter. If you send your mother to prison, you’ll become a laughingstock in this world p>
Athena looked at her with undisguised loathing and let out a mirthless laugh. “Let them laugh. This is exactly what you deserve p>
Ever since Athena was cast out of the duke’s estate, all she wanted was to stay as far away from them as possible and never see them again.
But when she learned it was Eloise who destroyed Kurtis, Athena was consumed by hatred. She longed to tear Eloise apart.
She thought, “How dare Eloise claim to be my mother?
“She has even less right to call General Perkins Father
“Jessa, throw them out,” Athena ordered coldly. She couldn’t stand Henry and Eloise’s hypocrisy any longer. She certainly didn’t want them disturbing
Margaret Monson’s peace.
Jessa immediately stepped forward, blocking Henry’s path. “The Viscountess has asked you to leave, Your Grace. Please don’t i
“ Get out!” Henry roared, his face turning livid with rage.
He thought, I am the Duke. How dare a servant talk to me this way p>
He completely ignored Jessa’s obstruction and continued to advance.
Jessa’s eyes flashed coldly. With a swift kick, she sent Henry sprawling across the floor.
With a heavy thud, he crashed to the ground, unable to rise for a long while.
Eloise scrambled over in a panic, her eyes full of worry. “Your Grace, are you all right p>

She couldn’t hurt Henry, but these underlings were child’s play for her.
The attendants exchanged terrified glances, not one dared move.
After all, Athena had just struck her parents. Killing them would be quit easy.
“Your Grace, let’s go…” Eloise said, knowing that pleading any further was pointless. Athena would never change her mind.

Henry slowly rose to his feet, his chest tight with pain. Teeth clenched, he fixed Athena with a venomous glare and spat out, “You’ll regret this p>
Athena said with a cold voice, “My only regret is learning the truth so late. Had I known sooner, none of you harmed my grandfather will pay
