The Dead Villainess Is Pregnant With The Male Lead's Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
“Just by your expression, laughter, posture, and footsteps, I could recognize Your Highness.”
Doubt filled the faces of everyone present—including Veronica’s. She, too, was unaware of the detailed history between Julia and Caspian.
‘Julia used to like Caspian! They attended parties together multiple times as partners!’
How had those two ended up as victim and perpetrator in a violent incident? It was hard to comprehend.
“The day before the incident, I confessed my feelings to Your Highness. But Your Highness became angry at my confession, saying someone like me was unworthy of you.”
Tears Julia could no longer hold back streamed down her cheeks. Yet she wiped them away casually, as if nothing had happened, and continued her testimony.
“And the next day, the incident occurred. I became a victim simply because I’d liked a man beneath me and foolishly confessed without knowing my place.”
The courtroom instantly grew noisy. Sighs tinged with astonishment echoed from all around. Someone cried out, “Goodness me!”, “Heavens!”, or “How can a person be so cruel?” as they voiced their outrage.
Hot tears kept soaking Julia’s cheeks, and her voice trembled uncontrollably—but she didn’t stop testifying.
“What hurts most of all is the memory of that day. No matter how hard I try to forget, it won’t fade away. Recalling my own helplessness—how I could do nothing in the face of merciless violence—still pains me deeply.”
Before long, sniffles could be heard here and there. People empathizing with Julia’s pain were weeping along with her.
“At the time, there was no investigation, no punishment. There was someone who’d been beaten, but no one who’d done the beating. Even my parents, who’d initially cried and raged alongside me, eventually shut their eyes and ears.”
Tears began welling up in Veronica’s eyes too. She felt immense pride and admiration for Julia, who had endured such painful times all alone with such quiet strength.
“All this while, I chose silence. I thought no one would listen to my story—that compared to the voice of the imperial family, mine was utterly insignificant and pitiful.”
Julia was no longer crying. Her eyes, now dried, shone brightly.
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.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
