The End Of The Special Contract Marriage (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 105
At those words, Alby’s eyes widened in shock. He frantically shook his head, clearly genuinely flustered.
“Yes, yes?! I really don’t know anything, Lord Vandermir! Why would I ever accept a commission to kill someone? That’s just not who I am!”
Alby eagerly insisted on his innocence, even offering to let them search his house in the capital if they wished.
Unable to find any concrete evidence against him, Damian sent Alby away.
He continued summoning and questioning the others one by one, but among those who had taken part in the extermination mission, no one showed any particular connection to Ken or House Vandermir.
Of course, since it was possible the traitor hadn’t even participated in this extermination at all, Damian didn’t completely let go of his suspicions.
Meanwhile, while he conducted the interrogations, Isaac took charge of investigating Ken’s background.
Upon returning from visiting Ken’s mother in Poshan Village, Isaac reported:
“Apparently, his late father left behind a debt of about fifty million gold. Just a few days ago, Ken suddenly paid it off all at once. When his mother asked him how he’d gotten the money, he told her not to worry and refused to explain.”
“Then it’s certain someone hired him.”
It was now clear that Ken hadn’t suddenly snapped and attacked Damian—he’d been acting on someone else’s orders to kill him.
After sending Isaac away, Damian remained alone in his room, lost in deep thought.
Ken had officially joined the investigation team only a week ago. Merely one day after that, the Red Hawk Knights had received this commission.
The timing was far too perfect.
No matter how he thought about it, House Vandermir wouldn’t have had enough time to learn that the knights were leaving for the extermination and then bribe Ken.

This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi.
