Disappointed even more by his behavior, Camilla decided to leave first. “I… I’ll go ahead.”
However, even as Camilla stepped outside, Henry did not stop her.
Leaning against the closed door, Camilla whispered a curse under her breath. “Bastard.”
Duchess Rebecca, lover Henry.
In a moment, when suddenly no one was acting as she desired, Camilla’s frustration peaked.
A faint shadow fell over Camilla’s sky-blue silk shoes.
‘…Who is it?’
With that thought, memories of her passionate encounter with Henry just moments ago came flooding back.
At the same time, Camilla felt a chill run down her spine.
Frozen with fear, she slowly raised her head.
“Did you enjoy your time, Camilla?”
The voice that followed turned Camilla’s face even paler. “Your… Highness?”
Though she didn’t want to believe it, it was definitely her.
Duchess Rebecca Twins.
Rebecca stood leisurely, with her arms crossed, observing Camilla as if scrutinizing her.
‘How long has she been here? Surely not…? No, it must have been just a coincidence.’
Swallowing hard, Camilla continuously glanced at Rebecca’s reactions.
“This place isn’t often frequented by guests… Did you lose your way?”
Camilla attempted to smile, though her lips trembled. Rebecca’s lips curved into a soft arc. “Of course not. I came here to talk to you.”
“What? You mean…”
Rebecca nodded leisurely. “Yes. I saw everything, including you and Earl Henry Bart entering the room.”
Camilla’s eyelashes fluttered, unbeknownst to her.
But she knew well that keeping her composure could help her navigate through even the most precarious situations – a lesson learned on her way to the top.
Camilla feigned composure and slowly began to speak. “That’s not it, Your Highness.”
“…”
“I feel like you might misunderstand, so let me clarify, Earl Bart and I have actually been close since childhood…”
“Fearing a misunderstanding, I must tell you that Earl Bart and I have actually been close since childhood….”
A short scoff sounded by her ear.
“Why put on such a show, Camilla?”
“……What?”
“Do you really think I was unaware of your relationship with him all this time?”
Her voice was gentle but menacing.
Camilla’s body stiffened like stone.
“Camilla, I know exactly what your relationship with Sir Henry is.”
“Your Highness, that’s a complete misunderstanding….”
“That you and Sir Henry went on a honeymoon during your recent vacation.”
“……!”
“What would happen if your husband found out?”
Panic rippled through Camilla’s eyes.
She bit her nails, trembling, unaware that her jaw was quivering.
“My husband wouldn’t believe you without evidence!”
“Evidence?”
Rebecca’s lips curled up sinisterly.
“Did you think I would tell your husband without evidence?”
“Then….”
“There’s already enough evidence. I’ve had someone on you since you sent a letter from Rubisher.”
“Your Highness! How could you go to such lengths… Ugh!”
Suddenly, Rebecca grabbed Camilla’s collar fiercely.
At that close proximity, Camilla’s eyes widened in shock.
“Why would our Duchess go to such lengths to embarrass me?”
“It’s a misunderstanding! I told you it was just a slip of the tongue!”
Watching Camilla’s desperate excuses, Rebecca sneered.
“I don’t care about your petty intentions. What matters to me,”
“…….”
“is that your actions greatly offended me.”
Camilla began to tremble under Rebecca’s piercing gaze.
“I didn’t know the evidence I collected to fire you would come in handy like this.”
“…….”
“Whether I use that evidence or not depends on you now.”
“What should I do…”
“First, you must avoid brazenly confronting me like today.”
Rebecca sneered coldly.
“If you don’t want to be thrown out penniless by your husband and abandoned by Sir Henry too.”
“……!”
Camilla was speechless, overwhelmed by shock.
Rebecca looked at her with undisguised contempt.
“Camilla, I’m not someone who can be easily fooled.”
Rebecca then released her grip and brushed off Camilla’s shoulders.
“If you dare confront me again, be prepared to lose everything you have and will ever have.”
Her icy gaze pierced Camilla once more.
“So it’s best you don’t attract my attention in the future.”
A cold warning.
Camilla, trembling, finally hung her head in defeat.
“Yes, Your Highness…….”
As Rebecca left without a word, the chill of her warning and utter disregard settled in.
Humiliated as never before, Camilla wept quietly, her head bowed.
‘How did it come to this… How did I end up in this situation?’
As she lamented her fate, she suddenly turned to glare at the door she had exited through earlier.
Despite the likely chance that Henry had heard her arguing, he had not shown his face.
It was clear he was distancing himself as her value diminished.
That was the kind of man Henry was.
Whispering eternal love to her one night, and the next day proposing to wealthy Robellia of the Bart family.
As she recalled Robellia’s innocent face, Camilla’s hysteria reached its peak.
“That damned Robellia, Robellia!”
Camilla stomped her foot irritably.
And in that moment, the desire to kill the Grand Duchess Rebecca, who had driven her to this state, became as intense, if not more, than her feelings towards Robellia.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
