Chapter 564
---- "You wretched woman, you re nothing but a terrible mother, pure scum! " She still had enough strength to
mutter, so | shoved her even harder.
Thad never realized the potential of a good staircaseuntil | saw the Duke use them.
"Inform the castle guards: this woman and anyone associated with her are permanently banned from entering
this property," | commanded, fully embracing the role of an authoritative Duchess.
She kept wailing as they dragged her away, but suddenly, she spat out something that caught my attention:
"You think you re safe just because you managed to bear that little girl? Who doesnt know here that the Duke
wont even go near your bed because you re frigid? Any day now, hell have a male heir with his mistress, and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthey Il throw you out like a bitchjust like youre throwingout now!" Her vicious eyes, her gloating expression

From the dull thud and the cries, it seemed the nanny had fallen to her knees on the gravel at the entrance.
"On top of that, airing your masters private affairs out here as if you were gossiping with the market vendors!
Where did you get such audacity?!" His voice made the very walls tremble, and every servant lowered their head
in fear.
The butler and the housekeeper stepped out to the doorway, standing in silent witness.
"Your husband, your son, and youyoure leaving my Duchy! You are expelled from my lands, and be grateful Im
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnot having you whipped to death for your insolence! And let this be a warning to anyone who dares disrespect
the ducal family!" His sharp gaze swept over all those present.
