Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 75
“Some people say that Lord Preston will not pass the marquessate to Master Benjamin. Do you agree with that?”
At that question, Jacqueline let out a light laugh. The spectators watched her with faint frowns.
Jacqueline still looked up at Evan with her eyes downturned. She didn’t need to turn around to know that Windsor was staring at her—his gaze always had substance.
“Do you believe that statement, Counselor?”
“Of course, I trust my client.”
“I can’t guarantee what will happen in the future, but I believe such a thing won’t occur.”
“Why is that?”
“Because Lord Preston repeatedly tells Benjamin and me, ‘Never forget that you are the next Marquess of Preston.’ If he truly had no intention of passing on the title, wouldn’t it be unnecessarily provocative to say such things?”
“That’s all.”
Evan returned to his seat with a satisfied expression. The spectators fell into deep silence as they looked at Jacqueline’s face—they had to admit she’d shaken their firmly held assumptions.
The judge turned his eyes toward the Crown’s legal team and, pushing up his slipping spectacles with a dry voice, asked,
“Will the opposing counsel cross-examine?”
“Yes.”
Among the four lawyers exchanging glances, Parker rose from his seat. Since he knew Jacqueline best, this was only natural.
Parker walked toward her with a cold expression.
Cold Male Lead Became My Clingy Husband (Female-Dominant)
Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
