How To Get Revenge On My Sister Who Stole My Husband (16 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 87

“How on earth have you been managing this household that such disgraceful incidents keep happening in my own home! Why on earth did you give alcohol to those knights! Even if Christine had ordered it, you should’ve used your judgment based on the situation!”

“I… how was I supposed to know something like this would happen! Besides, it was the only way to calm their discontent. As you well know, their stipends had to be reduced due to the sharp drop in harvest yields.”

“Damn it! Fine, let’s set that aside! What about Earl Swindel! I heard that bastard borrowed money from those despicable Shalys Guild people and gave it to me!”

“…What? Th-that’s the first I’ve heard of it! H-how could that even…!”

Before her beauty faded, selling her off at the highest price possible would surely be the best way to resolve this mess. Whether or not her future husband would genuinely cherish and respect her was irrelevant. In his desperate situation, he had no time to consider his daughter’s happiness. In fact, given how foolish and reckless she’d been—ruining things time and again—he felt he’d already fulfilled his parental duty simply by not casting her out penniless.

Thus, Danae, too, ought to fulfill her duty as his child.

With that justification, the marquis wickedly curled the corners of his mouth.
