Stunned, Oliver asked, “Duke of Blackmoor, what do you mean?
Call Pranit
“Were you hiding this fromto preventfrom tipping you off?” questioned the Duke of Blackmoor while
raising his voice. | discussed this with you in private before. This was not the tto take action. | thought that
you and | were on the sside and had reached a consensus. However, you ditchedand acted on your
own. Did you not trust me? Or was there another reason for your actions
Oliver was taken aback by Duke of Blackmoor’s questioning. He explained, Duke of Blackmoor, you have
misunderstood-
Isolde’s voice sounded from behind Oliver and interrupted him, saying, “It was my idea. | told them not to tell
you.”
Duke of Blackmoor turned around and saw Isolde leaning against the door. Helena was holding her hand. Isolde
looked pale but stubborn. Duke of Blackmoor felt a sudden chill down his spine when he noticed Isolde’s
indifference towards him.
Oliver left the room.
He believed it was best for him to stay out of the conversation between the father-daughter duo.
There was obvious anger in Duke of Blackmoor’s eyes. He questioned, “Is this your idea of revenge on me?”
Isolde said, “We don’t owe each other anything, so there is no reason forto take revenge on you. It's just
that the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better. Most importantly, | was the one who suggested
this plan. Only those who completely trustedcould participate in the operation. “Duke of Blackmoor, |
wonder how much trust you have in me. If | had proposed this plan to you, what would your first thought be?
Would you think that my suggestion was ridiculous and useless? Would you insist on continuing your plan of
doing nothing?”
Isolde remained calm throughout her speech, but to Duke of Blackmoor, her words were extremely harsh.
Every word she spoke was an accusation against him.
Duke of Blackmoor was enraged but unable to refute her. He chided angrily, “You are vicious and violent. You're
not suitable to manage your mother’s assets. For the tbeing, I'll hand them over to Michelle. Even if you
have registered all the assets under your name, | can add my nto the registered deeds. I'm warning you.
Leave Michelle alone. Regardless of how wrong she was, she has already been punished. If you still care about

Isolde looked at Duke of Blackmoor with deep disgust in her eyes. She said, “Everyone says that you love my
mother deeply. Letask you now. Do you really love her?”
Duke of Blackmoor’s expression was very ugly. There seemed to be anger and sadness in his eyes, but more
than that, it was disgust. That was the emotion hidden in the depths of his heart.
de said. “You should not sully the concept of love. You have none. After saying that, she turned around
and left.
She felt the strong urge to cough blood quite a few times during her exchange with Duke of Blackmoor.
Outside Britney Hall, Michelle stood quietly. She wore a creepy smile on her face, which made her look even
more hideous
Chapter 81 Trouble
Michelle scoffed internally, holde, you're dumb for never picking up on our father’s temper. As long as you're
obedient, he will turn a blind eye no matter how much he hates you
The smile on her lips gradually turned into a sneer. Michelle vowed to take revenge on Isolde

Meanwhile, Helena helped Isolde lie down. Helena said worriedly. “Why is Duke of Blackmoor’s attitude so
strange? He wasn't so heartless to you before.”
Isolde commented, “He's a disgrace to the Royal Court for blindly believing in the words of sspiritualist.”
She slowly adjusted her breathing and suppressed her urge to cough.
Jacqueline entered the room sneakily. When Helena saw her, she said angrily. “How dare you show your face.
here”
Jacqueline stammered, Tm here to apologize to Miss Langley!”
She knelt down with a thud and pleaded, “Miss Langley, | was wrong. Mr. Brady askedto serve you earnestly
from now on.”
The person Jacqueline was talking about was the butler, Ryker Brady.
“You are not needed here. Get lost, Isolde said coldly.
Jacqueline begged, “Miss Langley, | am truly sorry. | was blind-"
Isolde stared at her and interrupted her, saying, “You're blind. I'm not. Go back and tell Michelle. If she wants to
plant a spy around me, send someone new. Does she think | will trust someone like you who has been exposed?”
Jacqueline looked slightly surprised. She then stood up and said resentfully, “Isolde, you think too highly of
yourself to think that you can stand up against Miss Michelle Langley.”
With that, she turned around and left.
Helena was so angry that she wanted to chase after Jacqueline and beat her up. Isolde closed her. eyes and said
indifferently, Forget it. To each their own.”
Helena’s cycs turned red as she said, “Why are there so many people bullying you here? It's better for us to go
back to Windermount.”
Isolde chuckled and said, “Helena, that’s how life is. Windermount is but a memory now. When we encounter a
problem, we will lose our fighting spirit by thinking about how good life was for us in the past. Instead of thinking
about the past, it’s better to adjust our mentality and live the life before us as well as before.”
“Well said!”.
Doug's voice could be heard from outside the door.
He wore a green robe and stood at the entrance with a dignified expression. He looked at Isolde dotingly.
More than that, he admired Isolde for her attitude.
Helena hurriedly greeted, “Greetings, Mr. Becker.”
Doug glanced at Helena and teased, “Helena, why are you treatinglike an outsider? Aren't you used to

Helena blushed and retorted, “I have never called you that. At most | called you elongated master
Doug instructed Helena, “Makea coffee. He stretched out his long legs and placed them on the stool while
saying, “I've been busy today. | didn’t even have a meal or a sip of water.
“What were you busy with?” Isolde turned sideways and placed her hand under her cheek as support. Her eyes
were sparkling as she leaned very close to Doug. It was apparent that she treated Doug like a father figure.
“I was at the Princess estate too. Doug glared at her and explained, “However, | didn’t show myself. If | did,
wouldn't Milton be on high alert? He wouldn't have given himself away witharound.”
Isolde smiled and said, “I told you | could handle this myself, but you didn’t believe me.”
Doug responded dotingly, “Alright. You are called the Tyrant of Windermount for a reason. However, you're
seriously injured. You've suffered because of this case.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIsolde said with a smile, “I don’t mind as long as | can successfully complete the mission.”
Doug praised, “You prepared well to be able to take Milton down so easily.”
Isolde grinned and explained. “It’s all thanks to Great Marshal. He ordered people to spread the rumor that Wolf
Mountain's members had fled to Argentum, creating the impression that the bandits intended to surrender. “If
Great Marshal hadn't done so, Milton wouldn't have believed my trick so easily. He followedafter noticing
from afar that | was interacting with that person. He was flustered.”
Isolde had purposely chosen to carry out her plan at the pavilion. Milton could see her interaction with that
person, but not too well. After entering the woods, that person deliberately lowered his voice. In his panic, Milton
could not distinguish anything accurately.
Doug said, “Yes, Oliver is meticulous and smart. He knows that if we want to defeat the enemy, we have to break
down the enemy’s defense line. Milton is an old fox. Without careful planning, he wouldn't be easily fooled. He
then looked at Isolde and teased, “So, you've been with Oliver for the past few days?”
“Yes.” Knowing what Doug was going to say, Isolde said angrily, “Don’t try to matchmake the two of us as if I'm
sleftover nobody wants. Oliver's already engaged.”
“As | said, he’ll have a hard ttrying to follow through with his engagement.” Doug sneered and continued, “I
have done a background check on Cristina. | don’t know what Oliver is thinking. He dares to accept the marriage
arranged for him by Agnes.”
“He...” Isolde recalled what Oliver eventually went through before she traveled back in time. She explained, “He
just wants to save himself strouble. If he rejects Cristina, someone else will be ready to be his wife. His
marriage will always be decided by Margaret.”
Margaret was Oliver's foster mother and had absolute authority over his marriage. If she didn’t find him a wife,
she would be criticized instead.
