Chapter 728
Harmony Palace was in disarray.
All the stewards, along with Eleanor, had been taken away. The palace maids and servants were temporarily
confined in Harmony Palace under the watchful eye of the SuprCourt officials, to be summoned later for
questioning.
The Capital Guard and the Garrison Unit had withdrawn, and the case was now in the hands of the Supreme
Court.
Rafael’s deputy minister, Matthew, arranged for the women who had been imprisoned to send word back to their
families. If their families were found to be involved and their assets needed to be confiscated after the case was
over, the SuprCourt would take the money from Eleanor’s funds instead.

Thinking about how Carissa had kept that from her, Carmen felt a surge of anger. Carissa didn’t trust her.
Carmen had shared everything with her and had even brought Henry along, yet Carissa had concealed her true
plan.
It wasn’t until they were in the carriage on the way hthat her mother spoke up. “Your dad never intended to
cooperate with Lady Carissa, He told Grand Princess Eleanor about the plan for the fifteenth. It wouldn't have
succeeded if the timetable hadn’t been moved up.”
Carmen could hardly believe her ears. “Dad soldout? Doesn't he realize he could have gottenkilled?”
Melanie leaned weakly against her daughter's shoulder, tears slipping down her cheeks. “He sees each daughter
as a tool, just like Grand Princess Eleanor.”
“But... He loves you the most, doesn’t he?” Carmen wiped the tears from her mom's face, but her own tears
began to spill. “He said he'd do anything for you as long as you could get out of the dungeon!”
“You would do well to not trust a man’s words. If you trust him completely, you'll be irreparably lost.” Melanie
said bitterly, resentment swirling in her heart. In the beginning, your father paid sattention tobecause
of my beauty. But love? There was none.
“It was all an act to make Grand Princess Eleanor think she had something on him. His weakness lies with the
Kingsley family. His repeated visits to the dungeon were merely for the grand princess to think she was using the
bond between us three to control him. Meanwhile, he was using that to control you and Celeste.”
Melanie coughed a few times, her face pale with a hint of anger. “If he had even the slightest bit of concern for
you and your sister, he wouldn't have told that poisonous woman your plan. If he thought it was too risky, he
could have persuaded you to give up instead of pretending to agree and then betraying
you.”
Carmen clutched her mom tightly. Her admiration for her dad had been shattered.
“How could he be so cruel? I've always obeyed him. Doesn’t that mean anything to him? I’m his flesh and blood!

Melanie gripped her daughter's hand, teeth clenched as she warned, “Remember, you can’t trust men. Don’t
give your heart away even when it comes tfor you to marry. Never follow the spath as me. | fell for his
lies, and it led to you two being used by him, You're better off because you've had straining in martial arts
and are on the right path. However, your sister has been taught all the wrong things from childhood. Her life is
ruined.”
“Now that you're safe, Celeste doesn’t have to carry out any more tasks. She can chome,” Carmen said,
wiping her tears.
Melanie let out a long sigh. “She visited me. | told her to escape and forget about me. She claimed she was
merely playing the part of a servant for that poisonous woman, but deep down, she wants to entangle herself
with a powerful family.
“She wondered why she should settle for less. She's gone astray, and likely thinks she can make her own way in
the world. But it’s not entirely her fault. From a young age, that venomous woman taught her to only pursue
wealth and power. Those are the only things in Celeste’s eyes now.”
