I Pretended To Be Dead And Ran Away (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 145
Felix finally felt as though he had found the answer.
In truth, ever since he learned that Leniel was a woman, he had been considering this method in the back of his mind.
“But… Leniel probably won’t accept my marriage proposal.”
The fundamental issue—that Leniel might reject him—was precisely why he hadn’t taken action until now.
Even Felix himself didn’t think he made for a particularly desirable match.
Of course, he was immensely wealthy—wealthier than the imperial family itself. The Le Pelique Dukedom had long handled the imperial family’s money laundering, and his financial influence wasn’t confined to the Apentina Empire alone; it extended into multiple foreign nations, enough to sway neighboring countries at will.
Yet despite wielding such immense power, he deliberately remained out of the public eye, knowing he was far stronger operating from the shadows.
“Why do you think that way?”
“As long as I remain head of this house, I can’t face her—or any child we might have—with a clear conscience.”
The House of Le Pelique was the sovereign of darkness. Most of what they did was illegal and instilled fear in people.
Most individuals feared the House of Le Pelique—unless their greed overcame that fear.
“My lord, we don’t operate solely in the shadows, do we?”
“We own mainstream trading companies, hotels—and our casinos are entirely legal, as are our jewelry trading firms and dressmaking ateliers.”
For once, Ianathas sided with Rosalind. Rosalind looked at Ianathas in surprise, then swept her red hair behind her shoulders and spoke.
“In my opinion, what Lady Leniel truly desires doesn’t seem as grand as you imagine, my lord.”
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
Is the story really over? I’ll miss you all… I’ll miss the heroine.
