Samiyah was a woman of action, and once she made a decision, there was no turning back. She immediately
sent word to the Valen family, demanding that Margaret cthat very night to discuss the marriage
arrangement. If she refused, Samiyah would accuse her of attempting to seduce Eleanor under the guise of
marriage and take the matter to the authorities.
This was a desperate move, but Samiyah could no longer afford to hesitate.
The Blackwell family was on the brink of disaster, and if they didn’t align themselves with the Valen family. they
would sink. The Valen family was their only hope if they were to go down, at least they would have skind of
lifeline.
Her plan worked quickly. That very night, a matchmaker arrived at their doorstep.
The matchmaker was skilled in persuasion, subtly implying that the Valen family was above the Blackwell family,
and then made the point clear it was impossible to marry Eleanor as the legitimate wife, but if she was willing to
settle as a concubine, they could arrange for her to be picked up at a good tand sent to William's house.
In
the end, a few threats were made to seal the deal.
Milton and Samiyah both knew that with Eleanor’s current reputation, she could never be the main wife it had
always been an impossible prospect, but now it was even more so.
After all the arrangements were made, there was no need to wait for a “good day.” A few days later, the wedding
procession, complete with firecrackers and gifts, arrived to bring Eleanor to William's house.
However, while the Valen family remained discreet, the Blackwell family made no effort to do the same.
The pomp and circumstance of the Blackwell family’s dowry, complete with the sounds of gongs and drums,
made it seem as though William was marrying a legitimate wife, not a concubine. Despite the fact that Eleanor
was only being wed as a concubine, Milton made a show of it, and soon everyone knew the
truth.
Margaret had intended to keep the matter quiet, but with the Blackwell family making such a spectacle, she had
no choice but to invite sfamily members to the gathering.
It was common for concubines in the lower ranks to not have a formal ceremony, but for those in the aristocracy,
the situation was different. A few tables were set up to introduce the new concubine to the family. Oliver
naturally attended.
Eleanor, with the marks of her suicide attempt still visible on her neck, was now dressed in a high-necked gown
with two strings of bright red coral beads. In this attire, the marks were barely noticeable. As the eldest son,
William led Eleanor to Oliver to offer a toast.
Oliver, who was seen as an outcast in the Valen family, was not particularly respected, and most members didn’t
think highly of him.
After the toast, Oliver had to say a few words of blessing and give the new concubine a gift. This was
customary.
But Oliver didn’t finish his drink. He merely took a small sip, handed over a stack of money, and said, “Southern

Everyone was stunned Oliver, known for his notorious reputation outside, had always been careful and respectful
within the family. But today, even though the family was celebrating the official taking of a concubine, he got up
and left without finishing his toast, offering nothing more than a stack of money.
People murmured, calling him heartless and cold, but Margaret, ever the diplomat, smiled and said, “We all know
Oliver is a busy man, focused on state affairs. Please, don’t trouble him.”
The matchmaker, holding the money, felt awkward. The bills were unbanded-so careless and casual.
Someone joked, “He often give tips in the Vermelle Hall tavern. Maybe he got too drunk and thought he was
there again?”
Eleanor’s face grew pale as she watched the scene unfold. She tugged on William's sleeve, her eyes filled with

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWilliam, already angry from his humiliation, had been dealing with Samiyah’s threats and his mounting
frustrations. Although he had once had saffection for Eleanor, especially compared to Isolde, all that
goodwill had dissipated over time, especially after the events at Montlins Manor and his involvement with Doug.
He had no intention of taking Eleanor as a concubine anymore.
Yet, under Samiyah’s pressure, he had no choice but to marry her. His anger boiled over when Oliver left without
a word, and Eleanor, feeling the sting of his resentment, tugged at him, desperate for attention. Without
thinking, he shoved her away and snapped, “You've ruined my reputation!”
Eleanor stumbled, shock and pain spreading across her face. She had never seen William like this before. He had
always been calm and composed, never raising his voice, but now she saw the fury in him for the first time.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked at him, heartbroken, as she silently pleaded for his forgiveness.
Seeing that William had no intention of comforting her, Eleanor instinctively turned to Margaret for help.
But Margaret simply averted her gaze and continued chatting with her sisters-in-law, as if she hadn't noticed
anything at all.
Even someone as naive as Eleanor understood that this was Margaret's way of putting her in her place.
Swallowing her tears, she forced a weak smile and said, Tm sorry, | was out of line.”

Yet, he was not someone who knew how to smooth things over, so he simply said flatly, “Go back first. I'll stay

“But... we haven't finished the toast,” Eleanor whimpered, her voice cracking.
“Don’t worry, I'll drink on your behalf. You're tired, go rest,” William said with a dismissive tone.
