Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 126
To Ian Dalton,
You’re not one to open a letter without checking the sender, so you know well enough this is from William. I’ll skip the pleasantries. I have no interest in your well-being.
After returning from that grand hunting party you hosted, I asked Janet to attend every teatime she was invited to. As a result, I learned that the talk of every London teatime is that you and Miss Lance are already engaged.
Ian Dalton, do you even realize what you’ve done to Miss Lance?
Do you think it’s acceptable to ruin another lady’s reputation to win the affection of the one you love?
I’m deeply disappointed in you over this. I’m seriously considering cutting ties with you. If you don’t resolve this situation, I swear I won’t speak a single word to you until my dying day.
Come to London at once. Either propose to Miss Lance or publicly declare that you used her to win another lady’s heart—do whatever it takes to save her. That’s the only way to prove you have any sense of honor.
Ian Dalton, the person you love isn’t the only one who matters. The immature ladies you so despise are just as much God’s cherished creations.
I hope this opportunity teaches an arrogant, selfish man like you that lesson.
Yours,
Once your friend,
William Fairfax
P.S. I recently received a letter from Miss Hyde. She mentioned that Miss Pendleton—no, Miss Sheldon—has started working as a translator. If she sets her mind to it, she could earn far more than the governess salary you offered. She can now live comfortably on her own. So stop loitering around her. Your sister-in-law says she’s rented a space in a milliner’s warehouse—are you out of your mind?
I pity Miss Pendleton, caught up with someone like you.
As Ian read through the letter, his expression grew deeply serious.
When male lead is the homewrecker
“I know she doesn’t love him.”
I’ve read the novel below twice already. Girls, I’m highly recommending it to you!
The female lead? Not a good person.
The second male lead? Not a good person.
The male lead? Willingly plays the third party, breaking up the female and second male lead’s relationship despite all the warnings from his friends—so yeah, he’s definitely not a good person either.
Basically, nobody in this novel is simple-minded or without scheming.
The female lead starts off as the male lead’s secretary, but don’t worry—later on, she takes over the company while the male lead steps back to support her. He won’t steal her spotlight, overshadow her, or dull her shine.
I love novels where men are out here snatching wigs, tearing each other down, and going to war just to win the female lead’s affection. And this is exactly that kind of novel. Most of Hai Dai Ran’s works have this dynamic. You’ll see the male characters’ emotions being pushed to the absolute extreme.
There’s even a scene where the second male lead exposes the male lead online for being a homewrecker. The brotherhood immediately gangs up on him, dragging him through the mud. I find it compelling —it completely flips reality on its head, where usually, women are the ones fighting over a man and getting torn apart by the sisterhood.
For me, female leads in the novels I read should only struggle in their careers, not in love. But if the brainless romantics in the story are all men? I have zero complaints.
I’ve pretty much read all of Hai Dai Ran’s novels and even translated all of them—her works are just my thing. I’ll slowly upload everything here. One day, when my website is official, I hope I can invite her to join as one of the star authors.
Here’s the story synopsis:
One-line summary: She is his lifelong obsession, to the point where he was willing to be a third wheel, scorned by society, just to wedge his way into her relationship with her fiancé.
Cold-hearted and indifferent female lead + Scheming and subservient CEO male lead
Intro 1:
“I know she doesn’t love him.”
With blood trickling from his clenched fist, Rong Xiu gazed at the woman before him, his eyes clouded with anguish. Hidden in the wardrobe, he had witnessed Fan Xia – the woman he desperately loved – in an intimate embrace with her fiancé. Yet his heart still yearned for her, defying all reason.
Fan Xia, the elegant and composed assistant, carried something mysterious in her eyes whenever she looked at her fiancé, Wen Lan Sheng. Strange occurrences began to surface – secret meetings with the young Gu Jin Yi, an unexplained withdrawal of 5,000 yuan… Then suddenly, her fiancé’s sister, Wen Jing, violently attacked her.
In this matriarchal society, Rong Xiu had risen to become the chairman of a powerful healthcare conglomerate, breaking through gender prejudices. But for the first time, he willingly stepped into the shadows as the other man, disregarding his friends’ warnings to become her secret lover.
Because he had discovered the truth – Fan Xia wasn’t the pure angel everyone believed her to be. And perhaps, he was the only one capable of helping her execute her mysterious plan…
Intro 2:
Rong Xiu’s biggest regret in life was missing out on Fan Xia.
He secretly loved Fan Xia for 7 years.
Watched her go public with her boyfriend.
Watched her kiss her boyfriend at their wedding.
Until that man blissfully nestled in Fan Xia’s arms, obtaining everything he could only dream of.
The crazy jealousy stripped away his hidden secret love, layer by layer, burning like wildfire.
Fan Xia, how can I have you!
