The empress dowager's voice was full of anger as she directed her gaze at Lady Evelyn.
Lady Evelyn gulped in fear and embarrassment and her gaze moved towards Luciana. Right there she knew what had happened.
'She had been played'
Luciana saw Evelyn's gaze full of accusations directed at her and acted nonchalantly.
When she woke up from her two days of unconsciousness, she noticed how Ruth was snooping around Dora and asking what gift she was preparing for the empress dowager's birthday.
She didn't need a magician to tell her who was behind Ruth's curiosity—Lady Evelyn.
So she had made up the story about the vase and how a monk could write a prayer on it for good fortune and long life.
She had bet on what happened in her previous life and knew that Lady Evelyn wouldn't check on the items herself.
She would send her maids and lackeys to do everything for her and later take credit for their hard work.
