The officers hadn’t been paying attention to Willow at first, but at Nona’s urging, their gates immediately shifted toward Willow

Those predatory eyes were brazen and utterly undisguised

Like predators who’d found new pray, they slowly started closing in on Willow.

Terrified, Willow instinctively darted behind Kelsey and shrieked, Tm not the young mistress of the Osborne family anymore. I swear I’m not. Please, just let me go!”

Kelsey had no intention of saving Willow, but before Michael could even divorce Willow, the Osborne family had already collapsed.

Technically, Willow was still Michael’s wife in the eyes of the law.

If Willow were humiliated by these men, Michael would lose face as well

Despite her extreme reluctance, Kelsey had no choice but to shield Willow. Forcing a smile at the officers, she pleaded, “Officers, please have mercy, I still have some jewelry here. Why don’t you take it and buy yourselves a drink?”

Kelscy stipped an emerald caring from her sleeve. It was a piece of jewelry she’d hidden in the lining of her clothes during the confiscation of their

estate.

Now, it finally came in handy.

Willow whispered gratefully, “Thank you, Mother. I know I was out of line just now. Please don’t hold it against me.”

“Silence!” Kelsey snapped.

The officers‘ eyes bulged at the sight of the emerald earring in Kelsey’s hand,

This emerald earring was of exceptional quality.

Even a tiny piece could fetch a small fortune.

Leering at Kelsey, the officers snarled, “How dare you still hide valuablest Spit it out. What else are you stashing?”

Kelsey shook her head pleadingly. “This was part of my wedding gifts. I managed to conceal it during the confiscation. I swear, there’s nothing else le.”

The emerald earrings were a pair, but in the chaos, Kelsey had only managed to hide this one. The other had been confiscated.

But the officers weren’t buying it. They exchanged hungry glances, then immediately pounced on Kelsey, tears at her clothes. One of them snarled, “You old hag. Do you really think you can fool us? Earrings always come in pairs. The other one’s certainly hidden somewhere on you!”

In a flash, their target shifted to Kelsey.

Kelsey paled in shock. She never imagined these officers would treat her like an animal.

In desperation, Kelsey shrieked, “Let go of me, you bastards. I am the Lady of the Osborne family. If you dare treat me like this, when my son restores our family’s power, he’ll have you born limb from limbl

Originally, the officers had only been after money, but Kelsey’s words pushed them over the edge, turning their greed into murderous rage.

With a violent thud, Kelsey was kicked to the ground.

Her clothes were ripped to shrods, leaving her completely exposed.

For Kelsey, accustomed to a life of privilage and comfort, this was an unspeakable disgrace.

Her shriek echoed through the desolate wilderness, all the more helpless.

Just then, a gruff voice thundered, “Stop”

The officers looked up to see Fletcher Osborne stride forward and shield Kelsey

He was carrying two bottles of water and a wild h

Thare

During their journey of exile, these convicts were nothing more than the officers‘ servants

Tasks like fetching water and preparing meals were forced upon them,

Fletcher clasped his hands and pleaded with the officers, “Officers, why trouble yourselves with my wife?”

“Well, well, look who’s grown a spine,” one of the officers sneered while circling Fletcher and looking him up and down. Suddenly, he spat right in Fletcher’s face. “Who the hell do you think you are?”

Back when the Osborne family had lorded it over all, these nobles treated commoners like dirt.

Now that they had fallen from grace, not a single soul would help them.

Humiliated, Fletcher stood rooted to the spot, fists clenched tight, eyes blazing with furious resentment as he glared at the officers.

Yet he could only endure it silently.

Their very lives were at the mercy of these officers.

Pissing them off wouldn’t do him any good.

Kelsey whimpered, “My lord…”

She cowered behind Fletcher, trembling uncontrollably

A wave of bitter despair washed over Kelsey

Fletcher swallowed this ultimate humiliation, his last shred of anger gone. He pleaded, “Though we are convicts, His Majesty has ordered our exile tot northwest.

1. EQ.

At these words, the officers wavered for a moment.

The officers snorted indignantly, turned on their heels, and stalked off.

Fletcher glared at Willow, and the more he looked, the more ha despised her

Curious, Kelsey craned her neck only to find that he was drafting a divorce paper,

Willow tucked the letter into her robe, yet her eyes burned with malice as she glared at Fletcher

Tonight’s hunt yielded a decent haul for once,
