~Chapter 35~ Bella’s friends wrapped their arms around her shoulders to comfort her. “Don’t worry too much, Bella. If Harriet ever tries to hurt you, we’ll protect you.” “Of course! And now that Lord Chesselow is around, he’ll definitely protect you too. By the way, when are you planning to have the engagement ceremony?” The mood, which had been heavy with talk of Harriet, quickly lightened as the topic shifted to Bella’s engagement. Even if it wasn’t their own story, a…-

~Chapter 34~ “But Uncle, you knew. You knew I believed you. You knew I had no one else to trust but you!” He had known, and yet he betrayed that desperate trust in the cruelest, most mocking way. “And now you’re here talking about trust like it’s something you care about? That’s just funny to me. If you hurt others so easily, you should be ready to be hurt in return.” “So you’re saying you’re planning to ruin Bella’s engagement, is that it?” “I never said that. But…-

~Chapter 33~ “Some people say I was heartless for cutting off her guardianship while she was in the convent, but think about it—how could I possibly live with Harriet and keep supporting her? Just imagining the chaos she’d cause… whew, it makes me sigh.” Trisha sipped her tea quietly, not offering much of a response. John, somewhat relieved that she wasn’t firing back sharply, put on a serious expression. “Why do you think Harriet suddenly clung to an aunt she hadn’t contacted…

~Chapter 32~ “If you go that way, the butler will serve you the drink you want himself.” “Thanks for letting me know.” Cedric gave a small nod to his acquaintances and left his seat. His friends, having overheard his conversation with the servant, understood why he was stepping away and waved him off casually. Cedric headed toward the terrace at ease. He hadn’t expected—nor intended—to run into Julian Fraith, drunk enough that his cheeks were flushed, nor to overhear his…

~Chapter 31~ “You’ve had a bit too much to drink, Sir Julian.” A large shadow fell between Harriet and Julian. Julian, who had been frowning with irritation, looked surprised the moment he saw the person. “D-Duke Kailas…!” Even in his drunken state, he recognized the man right away—so maybe he wasn’t as drunk as he seemed. Both Harriet and Julian froze as Cedric slowly stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Julian. “Is something the matter? You were raising your voice,…

Chapter 80 Late at night, Gemma quietly entered Delani’s room. She gently woke her up. “Madam, the investigation is complete.” Delani immediately sat up. Gemma wrapped a shawl around her shoulders, and the two headed to the living room. “Come in.” At Gemma’s command, a man hesitantly entered. “Madam, Luan was also attacked by something invisible, just like Somerset and Axel.” “Are you sure?” At Gemma’s signal, Luan spoke nervously. “I—I don’t remember…

Chapter 79 The doorknob turned, and just as I hurriedly stepped away, Dedrick added in a cold voice. “Let me make this clear. Stop sending me letters. It’s uncomfortable and burdensome.” “B-but, Dedrick! I’m Ebony Silius!” “I know.” “W-wait… weren’t my letters being blocked by the Grand Duchess? She was the one who opposed our engagement…” Ah, the engagement. There’s a bit of a story behind that. When Delani tried to send Dedrick to the Silius family as a…

Chapter 78 He swept back his damp hair and let out a long sigh he had been holding. A strange glint flashed in his blue eyes. “How dare they touch what’s mine.” Anger surged within him. His determination to become the heir grew even stronger. “I just need to endure for four more months.” Once he succeeded in the subjugation and secured his place as the heir, he would push the Grand Duchess, Somerset, and Axel aside. No one would dare lay a hand on Marilyn. He clenched his fist…

Chapter 77 “……Why are you here?” “I felt uneasy after leaving like that… and Somerset wanted to apologize too, so we came together. May we come in for a moment?” The veins on Dedrick’s jaw tensed. “I’m busy right now…” “Hey, we’re here to apologize. Let’s talk inside.” Without waiting for permission, Somerset shoved past him and entered the room—only to stop in his tracks. “Mother.” At Somerset’s signal, Delani stepped inside. She glanced around…

Chapter 76 Everyone there had attempted to speak to Dedrick at least once. Soon, Dedrick appeared at the picnic spot. The maids, itching to acknowledge him, gazed at him with burning anticipation. Dedrick’s expression grew even colder under their stares. “Come on over, Dedrick. I wanted to celebrate your mission with the Black Hawk, so I arranged this gathering. We didn’t get to properly congratulate you back then.” Delani greeted Dedrick with a sickeningly sweet smile, naturally…
