I Have A Terminally Ill Duke As My Husband (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 86
“What on earth! Do you think I’m the kind of person who’d make baseless, greedy demands like that sly fox Caimen?”
“I’ve also heard rumors that branch nobles of House Riphaide have come to the capital, leveraging their family’s influence to open shops and amass wealth. There was an incident with the Duchess not long ago, wasn’t there? Fortunately, the Duchess is a kind-hearted woman and let it pass—but just consider this: if someone dared do such a thing to the Duke himself, do you really think that person would still be alive? It would be lucky if only that individual perished. Have you not considered that if this matter became public, Harmon’s standing could be seriously shaken?”
“Your Majesty, how dare a mere Duke presume to act against our family.”
“Brother! Listen carefully. Without that ‘mere Duke’ you speak of—Duke Luan Canoluph—Harmon would have died long ago. That Duke saved my child’s life, secured his position as Crown Prince, and solidified his standing. To me, he is someone deeply deserving of gratitude. Moreover, His Imperial Majesty is surely watching House Riphaide closely due to the matter concerning House Grafft. If rumors of House Riphaide’s oppressive conduct in the capital resurface at such a critical moment, I will not hesitate to cast House Riphaide aside.”
“Your Majesty… please, even as a jest, do not say such things.”
“Brother, have you ever seen me joke about matters like this? If abandoning our family is what it takes to save my son, I will not hesitate to cast you aside. So, be ever vigilant to ensure I never have to make such a painful decision!”
Seeing Fiona’s resolute expression, Dominic was taken aback.
He had thought she would be pleased if he mentioned the Empress’s seat…
Yet, contrary to his expectation that Fiona would become Empress and possibly receive a dukedom, the situation now threatened the entire family with abandonment.
Though Fiona was normally gentle and meek, once she set her mind to something, she acted decisively and ruthlessly—this realization made Dominic’s thoughts swirl in confusion.

“Sigh… alright, I concede.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.
Shen Yaoxing looks at Jiang Mingyue, who keeps approaching her with coy shyness.
Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
