The Secret Affairs of the Fake Duke Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 143
Helena’s room was filled with cigar smoke.
Helena’s eyes were hollow as she stared out the window toward the rising sun.
“Your Majesty, the morning air is sharp.”
Despite the attendant’s words, Helena insisted on wearing only a thin robe. The cold was no concern to her—something far worse was coming.
“Send for Gilbert.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Though it was early to summon someone, the attendant didn’t voice a word of complaint.
Helena’s mood was clearly unsettled. In truth, the entire palace had been like this for the past few days.
An odd tension hung in the air. Everyone went about their lives smiling, yet it felt as though each carried a hidden dagger.
They’d asked Helena’s advisors repeatedly what was wrong, but all they received in return was the command, “Focus on the birthday celebration.”
At times like this, one had to keep their head down and follow the prevailing trend. At present, the palace’s unspoken rule was to remain as quiet as a mouse.
The attendant hurriedly dispatched a footman to Gilbert’s residence.
Gilbert arrived at the palace soon after. Despite the early hour, he was neatly dressed and composed.
“No refreshments are needed. I wish to be alone with Lord Gilbert, so everyone else may leave.”
The Queen sat across from Gilbert, clad only in a robe over her nightgown.

An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
