The Maid's Contract Marriage (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 140
It’s strange.
Head Maid Mrs. Hurst…?
Could I have mistaken her for someone else?
Or was there a reason she had to do it?
Taylor had always thought Head Maid Olga Hurst wasn’t that bad a person.
She wasn’t exactly kind-hearted, but she occasionally intervened to ensure the Marquis’s excesses didn’t cross a certain minimum line.
Alvin Lorenson and Taylor, who took care of the servants and maids, naturally knew this.
She wasn’t the type to flatly refuse every unjust act.
If she had been, the Marquis would have dismissed her long ago.
But since she competently handled most matters and only objected—with valid reasons—when things truly went too far, both the Marquis and Marchioness trusted her and entrusted her with many responsibilities.
That was precisely why the Head Maid was involved in far more of the Marquis household’s secrets than even Head Butler Jim or Doctor Lorenson.
Therefore, Taylor had privately understood that whenever the Head Maid carried out “unvirtuous deeds,” it was likely so she could stop something truly terrible from happening.
But this felt like it crossed a line.
When Taylor descended to the lower floor, opened the door, and entered the room, he saw his father, Alvin Lorenson, sitting at the table with his hand pressed to his forehead.

Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!

This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”

some already executed,
Soo my initial guess of the empress was good?? The puppeteer was the empress? The one who put out the hit? Doesn’t it mean she knows about reina since the hit mentioned a maid?
The maids cried out.
Who ever is doing this knows about reina so I don’t think it was the empress who put out the hit?? Or is this not reina
At first, Agnes narrowed her eyes, failing to recognize Patricia immediately—but
Why is Agnes with reina?? Didn’t they say they were travelling separately to avoid trouble

The future looks scary and uncertain here… I said I saw no way for reina and Arthur to be together and I was proven right
Omgosh not what I expected at all… its all coming together albeit slowly
This was a good chapter which directly revealed the hidden puppeter plainly
