Was it too awkward to talk about the necklace in a public place? She couldn’t think of any other reason.
Finally, the door opened with a click. However, the expressions on Allen and Leah’s faces were entirely different.
Allen was undressed, covering his lower body with only a towel.
“Lady Grace? Why today?”
Allen was visibly flustered, his face turning pale.
“I was under the impression that you wanted to meet me today.”
“Not today…”
Allen stumbled over his words, ruffling his hair. Then a woman’s voice came from inside.
“Allen, who is it?”
Presumably, the woman he had just been in bed with. She approached the door, covered only in a sheet.
Leah was shocked to see the woman.
‘Sara! Why are you here?’
It was Sara, her former maid.
“Allen, who is this woman?”
Sara, who had quickly assessed Grace from head to toe, looked wary.
“Sara, be quiet.”
Allen tried to manage the awkward situation.
‘Were they involved like this?’
Sara was a loyal maid, almost like family. They had trusted each other like sisters, but all that trust was a lie.
‘She betrayed me and gave everything to Allen?’
Leah felt her legs tremble, almost collapsing. But she couldn’t show such weakness to them.
“It seems there has been a mistake, Lady Grace.”
“A mistake?”
“I had not intended to meet Lady Grace today, it was supposed to be…”
Before Allen could finish, Sara interrupted.
“Allen, was the reason you told me to return to Galdencia tomorrow because of this woman?”
“Sara, we are talking. Be quiet.”
The two raised their voices in argument.
“Luke, it seems Mr. McDowell got the date wrong. Let’s go back.”
“Yes, Miss.”
As Leah turned to leave, Allen called out.
“Not today… No, I will contact you again.”
‘Worthless scoundrels. They should just go to hell.’
Leah cursed the two inwardly as she left the hotel.
Leah was enraged by Sara’s betrayal. The two must have been secretly exchanging glances and plotting behind her back.
She had often worried about what had become of Sara.
Yet Sara had not only reported her every move to Allen but also enjoyed secret rendezvous with him, mocking Leah.
The secret about the necklace must have been disclosed by Sara too. She knew well about the necklace her father always wore. Leah had trusted her that much.
‘You’ll be discarded too, like a used rag.’
Allen wasn’t the type to acknowledge a maid as his woman. He would use her only as long as she was useful and then discard her like a disposable item.
‘How could you do this?’
Her father had brought the poor, orphaned Sara from the orphanage into their home, fed her, clothed her, and even gave her a job.
If Sara had any conscience, she shouldn’t have done this to her father.
‘Leah Hamilton, you’ve truly wasted your life.’
She hadn’t realized that the people closest to her had stabbed her in the back. She had even thought of rescuing Sara if she ended up in prison.
‘Is there another fool like you in this world?’
Leah’s hands twisted her dress hem roughly.
“Miss, are you alright?”
Luke asked with concern.
“Just a bit upset. What was his intention in inviting me to his room?”
“It seems Mr. McDowell got the dates mixed up.”
“Luke, I don’t want to dwell on it anymore.”
“Understood.”
The carriage returned to the duke’s house. Terrun was still waiting in the lobby for Grace’s return.
As the carriage stopped, Luke got out first and gave a slight nod to Terrun. A smile then played on Terrun’s face.
On the day Allen visited the duke’s house, Terrun had Luke investigate him. As expected, Allen had come to the hotel with a woman.
He probably planned to send the woman away before meeting Grace and play a convincing act.
“Did you have a good talk?”
He asked her nonchalantly. Judging by Grace’s expression, things had not gone as expected.
“I only saw an unpleasant scene.”
Leah briefly explained to Terrun what had happened at the hotel.
“Why was it unpleasant? Were you interested in Allen McDowell?”
Terrun didn’t beat around the bush. The articles about him that she had meticulously collected were enough cause for suspicion.
“That is…”
Leah found it hard to answer. But after seeing the doubt in Terrun’s eyes, she realized.
‘He suspects something between me and Allen.’
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
