Elijah stood there shirtless, towering over the two brothers with cold eyes. His voice was sharp.

“You show up at sunrise just to be a nuisance.”

Julien raised his gaze slightly, avoiding Elijah entirely, and spoke to Rosalie with genuine remorse. “Matriarch, I was at fault.”

Gael quickly followed, “Matriarch, we made a mistake.”

Elijah snorted, his sharp brows and piercing eyes locking onto them like blades. He said coldly, “Matriarch, these two disappeared for days without giving a single reason.

“I say we end it. Let them go.”

Gael’s head shot up, eyes blazing with defiance, then he turned to Rosalie with a pleading look. “Matriarch, I can explain.”

Rosalie tugged lightly at Elijah’s hand, her eyes sparkling mischievously, almost coaxing.

Elijah exhaled, his voice low and rough. “Put on a shirt. Why are you heating up the room so early?”

Then he walked away.

“Get dressed. Then come to my room.”

Rosalie’s tone was sharp and cold as she gave the command and stepped inside.

Gael and Julien exchanged a glance, quickly got dressed, and returned to stand beside her bed.

One stood to her left, the other to her right, heads bowed low. They knew they had seriously messed up. Rosalie’s anger was palpable.

“Speak. What do you know about Harris?”

Hearing the name, Gael jerked his head up, blurting without thinking, “Matriarch, how do you know Harris?”

Rosalie smiled coldly as her voice rose with authority. “You thought keeping me in the dark would

stop me from finding out?”

“We wanted to protect you from worrying,” Gael stammered.

Rosalie slammed the bed with a sharp crack, furious. “You’re my beastmen! When something

“And then? Did you solve anything? You came back drenched in blood. Do you even recognize me as your Matriarch anymore?”

She had seen them return covered in blood, and now their hesitation proved nothing had been fixed.

Gael lowered his head, guilty, and stayed silent.

Rosalie’s voice turned cold. “You can remain silent. I won’t force it.

“Regardless, what we have is just an agreement. After breakfast, we’ll finalize the release.”

Seeing Rosalie’s calm, unyielding expression, Gael panicked and glanced at her. She was serious.

He could only look to Julien. Slowly, Julien lifted his head and met Rosalie’s eyes. “I’ll speak.

“The ones who caused havoc at the rice shop were Harris’ doing.

“Harris is my second uncle.”

Rosalie’s eyes widened slightly, surprised by the connection.

Julien continued, “Long ago, our parents moved here from the Westland. They opened the House of Delicacies and several other shops, selling Westland goods that quickly became popular.

“They made a fortune. Later, my mother returned to the Westland and discovered she was

pregnant.

“Gael and I were still young. She stayed there until we grew up before planning to come back here.

“But Harris found out about their wealth and secretly followed her back.

“Soon after, my mother died unexpectedly, and my father passed away not long after. Being my father’s only relative, Harris naturally claimed the estate and all the shops under my mother’s

name.”

At that point, Gael’s eyes darkened as he took over the story. “We always suspected our mother’s death was suspicious. Only recently did we manage to uncover the truth about Harris.

“We thought punishing him back then was enough, but it seems he still targeted you, Matriarch.
