How To Get Revenge On My Sister Who Stole My Husband (16 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 29

As I stepped inside, the complete mess of the study came into full view at a glance. Ink bottles were shattered on the floor, quills were carelessly tossed aside, and the decorative items once placed on the desk were now ruined beyond recognition.

Marquis Uston, standing by the study window and fuming, glared at me for a moment as I entered.

Then, slumping onto the sofa, he spoke.

“Damn it, damn it, damn it! It’s definitely that bastard Duke Haven meddling in my affairs again! I’d gladly chew him to pieces! If only he weren’t that damn Princess’s spawn, I’d have wiped out his entire bloodline by now!”

“…Please calm down, Uncle. Honestly, getting this angry isn’t good for your health.”

“…That’s exactly why you need to stay composed, Uncle. Now more than ever, we must determine the cause of this failure and formulate our next move. What if Duke Haven schemes something else while you sit here fuming and doing nothing?”

I spoke to him in a steady voice. Marquis Uston, who flared up quickly but cooled down just as fast, gradually calmed under my persistent persuasion.
