Stop Coming On to Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
Greyan frowned deeply as Rocard stiffened his face and straightened his back.
“I have no intention of marrying a woman who judges people so superficially. Besides, Ancart? Just how far do you intend to drag Tagar’s reputation into the mud? I’ve already given my maid position to someone far more trustworthy than you.”
Rocard caught Greyan’s remark that Rorisha was trustworthy, but this wasn’t the time to bring it up.
“Your Highness, didn’t you say she brought the ‘Red Tear’?”
“So what?”
“Was Her Majesty truly summoning her out of curiosity about the jewel? Or was it because of you and me…?”
Greyan finally shivered and clamped his mouth shut.
Could Kalin Ancart have struck a deal with Orle regarding the fact that they’d stolen the ‘Red Tear’?
The real issue wasn’t the jewel theft but the illegal military operation on the high seas. Yet, he couldn’t be certain she’d used that as leverage to negotiate with Orle.
Greyan muttered through gritted teeth.
“There’s no evidence at all. Besides, His Majesty tacitly approved it—after all, consider how much benefit that incident brought the Empire. She’s not so foolish as to be unaware of that.”
“That’s precisely the problem—because she isn’t foolish. She might find another way to exploit this incident.”
“Hmph.”
“Are you certain she showed the ‘Red Tear’ to Her Majesty? Could she not have shown it only to you, pretending to negotiate with His Highness Orle, just to pressure you?”
Greyan was already angry that he hadn’t understood Kalin’s intention when she’d opened the box containing the ‘Red Tear’ right before him.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
