He Who Covets the Abandoned Bride (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 168
“That’s a tremendous relief… isn’t it?”
Laila sighed inwardly.
Yet she couldn’t afford to show it too openly, so she carefully controlled even the sound of her breathing, slowly regulating her breath.
She noticed her jaw had grown stiff from tension and consciously relaxed her facial muscles.
Still, it seemed things were finally turning in her favor. She could almost see the path opening toward her destination.
Seeing Laila’s attentive expression, Isabella began to share her thoughts slowly.
“My lady, I wish to hear more about people. As you know, the royal family rules over Fitzroy, and thus countless stories reach my ears. Yet, ironically, my position prevents me from hearing the more intimate secrets.”
“Intimate stories… about people?”
Though phrased delicately, the request was unmistakably clear: she wanted information about Count Orson.
For Isabella, revealing this much was already quite bold. Recognizing this, Laila suddenly understood.
‘If my value decreases…’
…she might very well be ‘eliminated.’
It was obvious from the recent banquet that Isabella wasn’t the type to get close to others, regardless of Adrian or Count Orson.
Thus, if Isabella were to openly confide in someone like this, it surely signaled something ominous.
Especially since Isabella knew all too well how to silence people—and was thoroughly accustomed to doing so.

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!!!
