Chapter 189 “W-What is this?! This isn’t what we agreed on!” John had been staring at the boat, waiting for it to break apart at any moment or sink back into the water. When the small wooden boat was safely placed near the park’s pier, he finally realized he had been betrayed. He couldn’t hide his shock when he saw that the green paint—applied long ago because it had been his brother’s favorite color—was still there. The boat’s original shape was almost completely…-

Chapter 188 “Harriet…!” John ground his teeth and called her name in a low voice, but Harriet did not even look at her uncle. Instead, she introduced the man who had come with her to the imperial investigator. “This is Baron Alfonso Villet. He is the person who witnessed my parents’ accident from the closest distance.” John reacted instantly. “What kind of lie is that?!” Only then did Harriet turn her gaze toward him. “Oh, I suppose you weren’t the closest one.…

Chapter 187 The biting cold that had frozen the end and beginning of the year gradually loosened as January passed. By mid-February, it had almost completely disappeared. The harsh wind softened, rain fell a few times, and sharp leaf buds and flower buds began to sprout on the once-bare branches, signaling that spring was close. Around that time, an article appeared in the newspaper saying that Harriet planned to salvage a boat from the lake in Albrecht Park. *** “…Twelve years ago,…

Chapter 186 Rumors that Cedric was preparing an extravagant wedding for Harriet spread quickly. In particular, the news that she had become the owner of the most expensive tiara at Lundberg drew immense attention and envy from unmarried young ladies. “I always thought that tiara was just for display. I never imagined it was something that could actually be sold.” “I know, right? But once you hear that the Duke of Kailas bought it, somehow it makes sense.” “Miss Harriet is so…

Chapter 185 “We need to get out of here quickly. No matter how powerful you are, there’s no way you can easily brush off wedding preparations that involve things like this.” What she was pointing at was a famous diamond necklace known as “Elevena’s Tears.” It was said that a certain foreign marchioness had once tried to buy it but couldn’t finish paying the full price, so it wandered from place to place. In the end, it drifted all the way to the empire without ever being…

Chapter 184 Once the New Year prayer meeting ended, Harriet had something she could no longer postpone. The preparations for the “fake” wedding. “I’ve secured the chapel at Saint Paolo Cathedral! Countess Lilburn, the head of the Ladies’ Association, put in a lot of effort, so make sure you thank her properly later.” Jeremiah, who had summoned Harriet and Cedric, spoke excitedly, clearly proud that she had secured the largest wedding hall. “And this is the list of people…

Chapter 183 It felt like the cold wind had only just begun yesterday, but before she knew it, it was already the last week of December, the week of the holy festival. In the meantime, many things in Harriet’s situation had changed. First of all, attempts to belittle or mock her in high society had almost disappeared. That was thanks to how firmly Cedric showed his affection for his lover. On the other hand, that also meant more people started approaching her, hoping to use her connections…

Chapter 182 “I don’t even know where to put myself when you welcome me so warmly. Honestly, I thought you might oppose this, ma’am…” “Hm. To be blunt, I’m not someone who has the right to interfere in Cedric’s dating or marriage. I don’t have that qualification. And I trust his judgment.” “B-but I don’t really have anything, and there were those unpleasant incidents in my past…” “At one point, I did want to test you, Miss Harriet. If you had gone around…

Chapter 181 “Oh, Cedric! It’s nice to see your face after so long. Is the Imperial Princess doing well? It looks like she didn’t come today.” “Greetings, Countess Direl. My mother’s chronic migraines flared up, so she unfortunately couldn’t attend today.” “Oh my goodness…” “Ah, and this is my lover, Miss Harriet Listerwell. Harriet, this is Countess Avery Direl, my great-aunt.” Cedric introduced her, and Harriet was just about to bend her knees and greet her…

Chapter 180 The place Bella rushed to while pushing Terry to hurry was Count Pellon’s mansion. She had already calculated that Harriet would willingly agree to meet her. ‘She’ll want to see me crying and begging. How fun would that be for her?’ Bella had even prepared an excuse to lower the Pellon household’s guard. “I’ll be leaving for a convent soon. Before that, I came to apologize to Harriet. If she refuses, there’s nothing I can do, but could you at least deliver my…
