How To Get Revenge On My Sister Who Stole My Husband (16 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 50

“My Lord Duke, a letter has arrived from Marquis Cesador of the Laska Empire.”

The butler brought the letter and handed it to the marquis. Marquis Cesador was the name of the Laskan noble to whom I had sent a letter on the night of the ball.

I quickly approached the marquis as he eagerly tore open the letter, and I glanced over it to read its contents.

[To Marquis Uston,

…Enclosed is a check for exactly half the amount we originally received.

Do not send me any further letters. Our association ends here.]
