Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 71
Lady Camellia de Castiglione looked down at Isabella and declared with triumphant pride.
“At this moment, Lady Isabella, the only thing you can rely on is your father’s influence. Yet even a cardinal of the capital… is clearly not the same as a grand noble.”
The word Camellia omitted was “bastard.” If there was another word left unsaid, it would likely have been “commoner.”
“They say Gabrielle Della Torre will soon become engaged to the eldest son of the House of Montefeltro—a match arranged by her family. Perhaps the finest match your parents could have secured for you was Count Cesare himself? What a pity your younger sister stole him from you!”
Isabella couldn’t collect her thoughts. Camellia was not only digging into Isabella’s most painful wound right before her eyes, but also implying that bastards could only ever end up with other bastards.
That—that wench who used to grovel at my feet, licking my toes… has she gone mad?
“If you’d secured a dependable fiancé early on, you’d have solid backing in situations like this.”
She was plainly implying that she herself had Ottavio behind her.
Isabella was so dumbfounded that her true feelings slipped out unintentionally.
“Has she lost her mind?”
Camellia, openly insulted, seemed furious. After her face flushed briefly, she quickly readjusted her posture with deliberate delicacy, as if to emphasize how refined she was compared to Isabella’s vulgarity.
“Lady de Mare, you ought to use proper and courteous language. Only then will you be respected as a worthy match. Given your origins, at least your demeanor should be noble.”
“What?!”
There it was—the sting hit home.
The chaste, flawless noblewoman I am versus the wanton bastard Isabella. With this contrast, no matter how beautiful Isabella might be, I’m clearly the superior match.
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.”
