Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 846

At Valor Estate, nearly everyone from the main household gathered in Rebecca's room. The only exception was Charlotte's side of the family and Aurora.

Rebecca trembled with fury.

"She jumped into the river? And Carissa saved her? If she wanted to die, why couldn't she just go quietly? Why did she have to make such a fuss? Clearly, she knew someone would save her! What is she resentful about? When has our family ever mistreated her?

"She has no skills, no ability to manage a household, and no family to rely on. All I asked was for her to care for me while I was ill, and she acts like she's suffered some great injustice! She even went out seeking death as if that would solve anything!

"If this gets out, people will think I'm a cruel mother-in-law! This isn't a request for death—it's a desire to see me dead! Does someone truly wanting to die need to disturb so many people? If she were serious, she would've jumped long ago!"

Benjamin still hadn't come to terms with what had happened. He was genuinely terrified. The moment he saw Amelia jump, it was nothing like Rebecca described. It wasn't an act. The river was dark downstream, and he couldn't see how Amelia had been rescued. He doubted he could bring her back even if he jumped in to save her.

Rebecca continued to curse Amelia.

"Now, we owe Carissa a favor! Amelia's turned against us, and she'll hardly be missed if she were dead. Barrett is already lower in rank than Carissa, and now we owe that woman a life! It's like Amelia's intentionally trying to harm her brother-in-law! I must've been blind to choose her as my eldest daughter-in-law!"

"Mom, please don't say that," Barrett interjected, frowning. "To be honest, Amelia has been under a lot of pressure lately. I heard everything—there's no money in the accounts, and Benjamin slapped her. Then, she was dragged here like a criminal to plead for forgiveness. Plus, Viola told her to buy Evergreen Pills and said she would only get 30 percent of my salary moving forward…"

Rebecca couldn't stand Viola's insults toward her son.

"How can you speak like that about your husband? Isn't he working hard enough? He's still the Crown Guard's commander! What have you done to help him other than stir up trouble and throw tantrums to run back to your parents? What right do you have to criticize him?

"You claim you didn't spend our family's money, but those royal jelly supplements didn't appear out of thin air. Did you buy all those beautiful clothes and jewelry with your own money? In that regard, you don't hold a candle to Carissa! I may resent her, but she's the only one who has ever managed things properly around here. As for you? You're nothing!"

Viola's face darkened with anger at the comparison. "If you miss Carissa so much, why don't you get her back? But good luck with that! She's on to bigger and better things now—do you think she'll even bother with you?"
