~Chapter 119~ After Lady Hendrick’s introduction, Bella, who had stepped back, approached again with an embarrassed look on her face and spoke to Jeremiah. “Oh, Miss Listerwell. What’s wrong?” “I need to speak with you about something important. Could you spare a moment? It’s related to Duke Kailas.” “With Cedric? Hmm… Okay, let’s talk.” Jeremiah kept a smile on her face as she followed Bella down the mansion’s corridor. There were many people walking by, but no one…-

~Chapter 118~ “Harriet will be the one to become the devil. I’m always the winning angel.” It was so easy for her to make that happen. Ever since she took Harriet’s title as the baroness, she had done this kind of thing several times. It wouldn’t be difficult again, even if it was a small issue, as long as she could find a way to exploit it. “Anyway, I need to stop Harriet’s connection with the Kailas family from continuing.” She had already failed once, so this time, she…

~Chapter 116~ When Cedric was talking to Lady Spence, he clearly made eye contact with Harriet. But instead of acknowledging him, she turned her head. Normally, when you run into someone you know, you’d at least greet them out of politeness. It didn’t make him angry, but rather… a bit excited. ‘Could she be jealous?’ Just thinking about it made him embarrassed, but for some reason, he kept feeling hopeful. If that were the case, should he encourage her jealousy or clear up…

~Chapter 117~ “Why would she go looking for that? And before that, how did she know it would be a prize?” Tez shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. “I don’t know that part. But anyway, she found it and gave it back to the owner. Duke Kailas was wearing the brooch at the picnic yesterday.” “Ah…! So this means Harriet has now formed a connection with Duke Kailas?” “Exactly. At the picnic yesterday, Duke Kailas introduced Harriet to Count Alberman. He probably thought…

~Chapter 115~ Harriet’s head was spinning. What if Tez presses me about my relationship with Cedric? What on earth would I say? But luckily—or maybe unluckily—Tez just shrugged, breaking the awkward tension. “Forgive me. I should have looked after you better.” It was true, but Harriet couldn’t very well answer rudely. At the same time, she didn’t want to just giggle like some clueless fool. “I understand—it must have been nice seeing your acquaintances again.…

~Chapter 114~ Well, if that’s the case, that’s fine. And if it’s not, it doesn’t matter either. Cedric lowered the opera glass. He gave a half-hearted farewell to Lady Spence, who had been talking to him nonstop, then started walking in the direction he had just been watching. His slow pace reflected his reason, but his long strides carried his emotions. * * * Harriet’s steps felt heavy as she headed back toward Tez and his friends. Ugh. Those men… so unpleasant. Just…

~Chapter 113~ A few days after Tez’s visit, Harriet found herself sipping champagne with him in the gardens behind Alberman Bank’s main building, where their famous spring picnic was being held. “I’d heard the rumors, but there really are a lot of people here,” Harriet said. “Well, this is one of the few chances you get to meet the real heavyweights,” Tez replied. The spacious garden was crowded with people. What impressed Harriet was that despite the numbers, no one shouted…
