Interest Compounds on Revenge (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 21
Lea’s plan to draw the attention of all the distinguished guests at the banquet toward herself was a success.
However, the problem was that so many men kept asking her to dance one after another that it became unmanageable—not that she actually danced with all of them.
“Grace, look only at me.”
Throughout the entire waltz, Terren never left Grace’s side. Whenever a man tried to ask her to dance, Terren—despite seemingly engaged in conversation with acquaintances—would somehow snatch her hand before anyone else could.
“This seems to go against proper etiquette.”
Normally, at a ball, partners were supposed to change with each dance.
But Terren found it utterly unbearable to let another man’s hand touch Grace’s delicate back.
“What does etiquette matter? It’s hardly strange for me to dance with my fiancée.”
“Well, that’s true… but…”
Lea, on her part, didn’t entirely dislike his excessive attention.
Yet Terren’s strategy to guard Grace was gradually falling apart.
As Duke of Rubec, he had to greet the Emperor and numerous foreign dignitaries, leaving him little time to stay by her side.
In the meantime, Lea had to dance with a great many men.
‘I really need to improve the back of this dress.’
The touch of men’s hands on her back wasn’t particularly pleasant.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
I don’t understand, if she is trying to save the twins, why is she putting a gun to her head? She needs to be alive for the twins to survive.
This is sounding less like a punishment and more like a privilege.
Sometimes this novel’s inability to reflect anything close to realism frustrates me. Let’s reward arson and attempted murder! (Can’t help but point out the lack of creativity with Mr. Baker’s name.)
