Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 90
Countess of Somerset felt this kind of misery every single day. Unable to escape the tidal wave of shame, she ultimately sank into an ocean of inferiority.
Jacqueline stood rooted to the spot like a child who had lost her mother’s hand, overwhelmed by emotions crashing over her like a storm.
Windsor remained the amplifier of her feelings, and Jacqueline was swept away by a vast, uncontrollable rage.
“Somerset…”
“Good to see you, Mr. Knox. Your performance at the last trial was quite impressive. Your skills haven’t rusted at all.”
Just as Evan was about to call out to her, a man approached and greeted him. Evan instantly turned with a sociable smile.
“Hello, Mr. Madison.”
“Lord Knox must have been very pleased. Isn’t a father’s greatest joy seeing his son surpass him?”
“It’s been quite a while since I last saw Lord Knox—at a banquet, if I recall correctly.”
Once Madison opened the conversation, other men who had been glancing their way gradually approached one by one.
Since that trial, Evan had become a notable figure in high society—even though he had quit practicing law, clients continued to flood in relentlessly.
Lately, he spent more time writing rejection letters than running his publishing house. Yet still, clients lined up, offering enormous sums of money.
“Well, I might have gone even longer without seeing my father than you have, Lord Rogers.”
Evan exchanged polite replies while stealing glances around. Jacqueline, who had just been standing beside him, was nowhere to be seen.
His eyes, scanning the room, caught sight of her back as she slipped out of the banquet hall.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!

This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
