Chapter 216

• After I left the palace, I stepped into my sleek black car, heading straight for Harmony Estate.
• Originally, I had planned to visit Hazel earlier, but the unexpected summons from her had delayed my schedule. Still, the delay felt minor Hazel would have just finished her afternoon break, refreshed and ready for conversation. I anticipated our meeting would be worth the wait.
• Lately, I had been meticulously managing the inventory of assets and heirlooms brought from Valor Estate. Some valuable pieces were earmarked for sale, while others were to be carefully stored. Since I was officially engaged to Rafael, I couldn’t simply claim those items as part of my personal assets. After organizing the storerooms, I intended to compile a detailed list of new acquisitions needed to properly establish my own standing. Antern, my trusted assistant, was already tasked with preparing that list.
