Clearly, Baron Walter had used some means to entangle the Delvaux family's fortune in a lawsuit, leaving Camellia immediately penniless. And she had no relatives or friends—or, if she did it was doubtful anyone would dare to take her in under the threat of Walter.
So, she would have no choice but to compromise with that scoundrel.
The corners of Joseph's mouth lifted in a cold smile. He had previously disdained to pay any attention to that Walter, but now the man had brazenly sought to provoke him.
Well then, it was time to teach him a lesson.
He walked over to Camellia and whispered words of comfort:
"Rest assured, I will not allow Madame Delvaux's reputation to be tarnished. And those who have falsely accused her will receive the punishment they deserve."
As for how to handle the situation, such trivial matters were not worth his personal effort; he would just let Kaunitz take care of it.
