Blackening the Affectionate Male Lead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 18
Whitney watched Melissa as she left. She was worried about what to say to her mother upon returning, but in the end, it didn’t matter.
“Are you worried?”
“No. Quite the opposite—I’m looking forward to it. I wonder what my sister will say to Mother. I feel sorry for dragging you into this, Aunt.”
“Your debutante season is only a few months away now. Did you enjoy your conversation with Her Majesty the Queen?”
My aunt seemed to be probing for details about our talk. Since the conversation had been rather shallow, I had little else to share—only that Her Majesty’s reaction had been positive.
“Her Majesty might summon me again.”
And if that happened, she might meet Karl. What expression should she wear when she saw him? It had already taken great courage just to return and face Melissa again.
‘I still don’t want to see him.’
Since they would inevitably meet at the ball following the debutante season, she wanted to stall as long as possible. He would surely hide his true nature and whisper sweet words behind a false smile to others.
“My thoughts exactly. Before that, strange rumors began circulating about House of Duke Orleans. It seems Cecilia has been embezzling funds—will you keep an eye on it?”
“I’m already looking into it. Once Melissa returns, I’ll receive a letter. I’ve placed one of my own people there.”
Whitney answered calmly. She received reports every week on the same day, and tomorrow was that day—so she would soon learn what was happening at the Ducal Mansion.
“Fortunately, there haven’t been any other suspicious moves yet. Though that might change if I fail to give them what they want…”
“If you ever need help, just say the word. I carry guilt toward you, so use me while you can.”
“Please don’t say that. I’m always grateful to you, Aunt.”
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!

This is the first time I’ve seen a good aunt help the heroine; I think this novel is different.
