Blackening the Affectionate Male Lead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
Melissa shouted from the locked room, demanding to be let out.
“How can you do this to me! What will Prince Karl think of me? He said he loved me!”
Bang bang. The sound of knocking echoed through the mansion. Cecilia sipped her tea, ignoring Melissa’s cries.
“She’s so childish. She doesn’t even understand the current situation and is blinded by love.”
“They’ll soon change their minds. By the way, I heard the date for the family assembly has been set. What will you do?”
“Steward. Don’t you see I’m trying to cheer myself up by drinking tea? Why are you being so tactless? Besides, all Whitney can take back from me is the hollow title of family head.”
Cecilia clicked her tongue. She’d thought him sharp and perceptive, but lately his words had been anything but satisfactory.
“That’s precisely why I invited them here today. They’re all in the same boat, after all. Everyone will side with me as long as I slip them money. They’re all so obsessed with gold they won’t care who becomes the family head—nobles only appear decent on the surface; inside, they’re filled with greed.”
She set down her teacup and took a deep breath.
“No one will side with Whitney now. Even if Lady Rubernus steps forward, they all know it’s me—not Whitney—who lines their pockets. They’ll be trembling in fear, worried I’ll demand repayment for the loans.”
To seize control of House of Duke Orleans, Cecilia reached out to Whitney’s maternal and paternal relatives. Of course, she only contacted those families desperate for money—only the truly desperate would grasp her hand. She gave them just enough to secure their votes.
Since Cecilia was the one continually providing them funds, they wouldn’t welcome a change in family leadership.
“The tea aroma is especially pleasant today. Tell the staff to generously serve our guests—they’ll be arriving soon.”
“Understood. I’ll prepare the drawing room accordingly.”
“If Melissa keeps shouting, put her to sleep. One pill should suffice. She’ll alarm the guests if she keeps screaming like that.”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
