Chapter 881 Zoey had a clear purpose for coming here today-she wanted to inquire about the embroidery workshop and the women's academy. If the people of Hell Monarch Estate were indeed establishing a women's academy, she hoped to secure a spot for her daughter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNormally, she would have brought her daughter with her, but doing so would make her intentions too obvious. It would seem as though she was pressuring Carissa to accept her daughter, which might make the princess consort uncomfortable.
So, instead of bringing her daughter along, Zoey decided to gather information first and find out what was required. That way, she could go hand prepare everything.
'There's no need to be formal. Let's move to the side hall and chat," Carissa said with a smile, leading them to a smaller chamber.
Meanwhile, Rafael, who had just woken up, was left facing Davis, who was still yawning.

At Davis' age, he was still staying up late and causing a ruckus? How shameless! Knowing Violet played a key role at Skye Embroidery, Hannah asked, "Where is Ms. Spencer? I was hoping to discuss the embroidery workshop matters with her." Carissa felt sorry for Violet and had planned to let her sleep a little longer. But since Hannah had asked for her, Carissa had no choice but to send someone to wake her.
Hannah had a well-thought-out plan. The workshop, being located in a somewhat remote area, needed a storefront to sell its handmade goods. She planned to allocate a shop specifically for selling these items, with all profits going to the workshop. Whoever made the items would receive payment based on how much they sold.
Hannah also added, "I won't charge rent. It'll be my contribution to this good deed. As for the shop assistants, I'll cover their wages until the store begins to make a profit. Once the goods start selling and we're not at a loss anymore, we can take a share of the profits to pay the shop assistants. How does that sound?" Violet thought for a moment before responding, "For now, that seems like a workable plan. At the moment, we don't even know if there will be customers for the embroidery products. If everything runs smoothly, we could have the women with good speaking skills go out to sell. They'd already be looking for work, so there's no need for them to worry about whether or not they're putting themselves in the spotlight." Hannah nodded. "The only issue is that since they're likely women who have been divorced, they probably won't be ready to face the public. If we send them out to sell the items, they may not be able to handle the judgment and gossip from others." Carissa chimed in, "So, we need to help them rebuild their confidence. The workshop isn't just a way for them to make money. More importantly, it's about restoring their hope for life and their belief in themselves. That's why we also need to find someone to teach them." They continued discussing, with Zoey occasionally offering her thoughts. At first, since finding out about the women's academy had been her priority, she had simply been asking about the embroidery workshop with the intention of donating smoney. But as she listened to their conversation, she realized how meaningful this initiative was and wanted to be involved.
Luna, being from a merchant family, wholeheartedly agreed with Violet and Carissa's views.
"What's the big deal about women stepping into the public eye?" Luna said. "They've already been divorced, so why worry about their reputation? The idea that a woman from a good family should never be seen in public is laughable. Just look at those women selling groceries or street food-many of them are married women too."
