Chapter 1608:
At the Fragrance Garden, Evelyn paused from her reading, her glasses coming off as she gazed out at the night
sky, the crescent moon in view.
Lost in thought, perhaps reminiscing or pondering deep matters, a wistful sadness touched her eyes.
Penny watched her for a moment before speaking. “Mrs. Hopkins, it's getting late. Maybe you should rest.”
The sound of her voice drew Evelyn back. She turned with a faint smile, one touched by nostalgia. “When you
get older, the past doesn’t knock—it just shows up.”
Penny looked at the clutter on the desk and offered a knowing smile. “It’s not your age, it’s all these old
keepsakes. My advice? Let them go. Less clutter, more peace.”
“I'd rather sit with these things than let my thoughts wander in the silence,” Evelyn said, pressing her palms
against the desk as she rose to her feet. “There’s a promise | made a long tago. I'm just trying to keep it.”
Penny’s expression shifted to one of curiosity. “Do you plan on returning to the Independent Continent?”
“Now that Nate's engagement is sorted, it might be tforto go home,” Evelyn mused. “Otherwise, certain
people might start thinking they can do whatever they please.”

silent prayer for Braylynn, the Quinn family matriarch.
The feud between Evelyn and Braylynn had simmered since their younger days, never quite cooling. Hoping for
peace between the two was like waiting for snow in the heart of summer—an exercise in futility. Even in the
afterlife, they'd likely still be at each other's throats.
“Did you deliver what | asked for?” Evelyn asked, settling onto the bed and slipping off her shoes, her eyes
resting on Penny.

“As instructed, | sent over the calming tea,” Penny replied, handing her a glass of milk. Her voice was calm and
measured. “Our people said her mask of dignity cracked the moment she knew the calming effect of the tea.
Clearly, she understood the message. But since others were present, she was forced to smile through gritted
teeth and accept it. They hadn't even stepped out the door before they heard her hurl the gift and unleash a
stream of curses.”
A faint smile tugged at Evelyn's lips.
She didn’t need to hear the actual words to imagine them. The insults were likely the stired ones,
predictable as ever.
But the fact that Braylynn had flown into such a rage meant the gift had struck the right nerve.
For years, Braylynn had worn the mask of a refined and composed lady, a charade Evelyn had always found
deeply annoying.
Evelyn took the glass of milk and downed it in one determined gulp.
Without delay, Penny took the empty
glass from her. Evelyn then said, the
