~Chapter 149~ At the Dawson family’s hunting competition and picnic, Harriet was able to sit with Daphne and Edgar, thanks to Daphne’s consideration. Edgar was still in a cheerful mood. “It’s all so chaotic. I really don’t understand why people love fox hunting so much.” He sighed dramatically, clearly exaggerating. “My friend says there’s no more romantic event than a hunting competition.” “Really? Does your friend have some fantasy about blood and…-

~Chapter 148~ “Why is this person sending me an invitation…?” Although Cedric had made her acquainted, it seemed unlikely that he would send her an invitation. As Harriet opened the invitation, expecting a formal greeting, she discovered a few lines at the end that explained why she had received it. “…Lady Daphne has mentioned you a lot. Cedric too. Could I possibly become a good friend of yours? – Edgar Dawson” Thanks to Cedric, Harriet at least knew Edgar Dawson by face…

~Chapter 147~ ‘This reminds me of the Lorrell party.’ Coincidentally, just like that night, she was sitting in a dark place with this man again. The memories she had tried to bury slowly came creeping back. The dark gazebo, the thin shawl draped over her shoulders, the kiss they shared, Cedric’s hot breath, and his hand that had slid along her back in a sticky touch. ‘I’m crazy.’ Her heart raced, and she swallowed nervously. All she could think about was how insane she…

~Chapter 146~ “Who would approach a man who already has me as his lover? Have you ever seen a woman flirting with James?” “What…?” “I know you don’t want to deal with those annoying people. All that bothersome attention will disappear, and even if we break up, it’ll still benefit you.” Bella smiled, lightly touching her chest with her fingertips. “Being Bella Listerwell’s lover will become like a badge of honor for you.” Cedric couldn’t help but laugh at her…

~Chapter 145~ As they reached the balcony, Benedict remained silent, constantly glancing around and sipping his champagne. After a while, he awkwardly opened his mouth. “I heard the purpose of today’s party is to find your wife. Is that true?” “Well, I suppose it’s up to interpretation. I didn’t plan this event with that goal in mind, but if, by chance, I end up marrying someone here, then yes, the rumors would be true.” “Do you have anyone in mind?” “Is that…

~Chapter 144~ Harriet thought Lauren would quickly back down, but instead, she raised her voice as if she had gained support. “I apologize for causing a disturbance at the Duke’s joyful party. But, you see, I had to face that woman sooner or later.” It was a lie. Lauren had never come to the Pellon family to argue before. If she had, they wouldn’t have let her in anyway, so the result would have been the same. But today, Lauren knew Roxana would be here, and she had clearly prepared…

~Chapter 143~ “Miss Annabel!” “Oh my, Miss Harriet! It’s been a while. How have you been?” Annabel, who Harriet hadn’t seen for a while, still seemed to have many acquaintances. Harriet could see people around her trying to catch her attention, eager to greet her. Quickly, Harriet introduced Annabel to Roxana. “Aunt, this is my friend Annabel Layton. She’s very well-connected and an excellent listener, a very cultured person. Annabel, this is my aunt, Roxana Pellon.…

~Chapter 142~ It had been a long time since an evening party was held at the Kailas estate. During the war, the head of the house had been away, and after the victory, they had refrained from holding any grand parties to honor the late Lord Rowen. But for a family as prominent as the Kailas, it had become an issue to go so long without hosting an event. Their parties weren’t just for eating and drinking; they were where all sorts of political signals were exchanged. Of course, this time, there…

~Chapter 141~ “Good to see you again, Duke Kailas.” “Welcome, Miss Harriet. I assume you’ve seen your mother?” “Yes, I have. Since Miss Roxana will be attending the Duke’s party in place of my great-aunt, I’ve already asked for her permission and assistance.” “So, this will be Miss Roxana’s first time greeting everyone as the heir of the Pellon family.” Harriet nodded, and Cedric casually said, “To be honest, I always thought if someone was going to be adopted…

Chapter 140 The misdeeds Lauren committed reached Pellon Manor two days later. “I received a message from the Imperial Nobility… when Lady Pellon had not regained consciousness, Lady Marshall and her son went to request approval for the position of acting head of the family,” Andre reported. “I knew this would happen,” Trisha responded nonchalantly as she sat against the pillows. Although her face was pale, her mind was clear, and she was very much “alive” as Trisha…
