The Villain Family Opposes Independence (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 223
I never thought Rayan would let personal feelings cloud his judgment.
But I couldn’t just sit back and stay silent either.
“To be honest, I wanted to pretend I didn’t notice, but it’s just too obvious. Every time he goes to see Lady Elodie, he buys desserts from that famous patisserie—did you know that?”
“Th-that’s…”
Now that she mentioned it, Leon had indeed started bringing desserts one day.
“I bought them for Belisa, but I got too much, so I had some left over.”
“I see. So Miss Belisa must really enjoy sweet desserts.”
“…Yes. That’s right.”
Leon had clearly said he bought them for Belisa—but was that not actually true?
“Maybe those desserts weren’t really meant for Miss Belisa at all? After all, he’s such a caring older brother…”
Belisa drove the final nail into my suspicion.
“I don’t actually like sweets that much. I hardly eat them lately, yet my brother keeps bringing them anyway. So that must mean he’s really giving them to Lady Elodie, right?”
Gretel responded to her subtle question before I could.
“No! Elodie—no, Lily—is with His Grace, Duke Veytan, and—!”
“Ha! What nonsense. How dare you even think of pairing our sister with that mercenary bastard?”
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.
