The Secret Affairs of the Fake Duke Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 87
“My Lord, are you really going to cancel the contract? The penalty fee is… it’s enormous.”
Cain glanced at Viscount Ailott seated before him and checked his pocket watch. It was almost time to leave work.
He had no more time to waste on this incompetent fool.
“Nathan, bring the checkbook. Pay the penalty fee immediately.”
Cain held out his hand to Nathan. While Nathan fetched the checkbook, Viscount Ailott dropped to his knees beside Cain and grabbed his hand.
“My Lord! I was wrong!”
Cain’s eyebrows furrowed sharply. As if touched by a repulsive insect, he brushed off Viscount Ailott’s hand with disgust.
Viscount Ailott, who had fallen backward, sprang up like a coiled spring and knelt again.
Nathan shook his head slowly.
If Viscount Ailott truly wanted to change Cain’s mind, this groveling wouldn’t help. Though the contract would be void regardless, it would still be wise to consider the future.
Had Viscount Ailott retained any composure to assess his surroundings, he might have quietly withdrawn—but he was far too desperate even for that.
The bank loan he’d secured, using his supply contract with Hayes Corporation as collateral, was colossal.
The penalty fee Cain would refund wouldn’t even cover half of it.
Moreover, once news of the contract with Hayes Corporation spread, former business partners who’d cut ties began reaching out again—and naturally, he’d signed three new contracts.
But if his relationship with Hayes Corporation soured? If that became known?
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
