The Villainess Doesn't Want Love (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 22
Karina quickly skimmed through the documents handed to her.
“Selena and Hastin really did a great job.”
Karina praised them with a bright smile, even though they weren’t present.
Then she picked up her quill and began marking some places with checkmarks and circles.
Scratch, scratch.
She recalled businesses that had been prominently featured in newspapers as miraculous successes or had become the talk of the town due to massive profits.
She also selected companies that, overall, had consistently performed well and generated steady profits.
“Here, take this document back to ‘The Flower Shop.’”
Karina set her quill down on the table and said,
“I’ll give you gold coins—go tell them to invest in all the places I just marked. Give priority especially to the businesses I circled.”
“What? You’re making investment decisions based on just a quick glance?”
When Karina nodded, Mikhail’s face showed clear bewilderment.
“I reviewed them beforehand, and honestly, every business plan was utterly unrealistic. None of them are worth investing in for profit.”
“No problem. I only picked the reasonable and decent ones.”
Despite Karina’s confident reply, Mikhail still wore a reluctant expression.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”

"You should consider yourself honored just because I came all the way here to me
“The lady doth protests too much, methinks.” What else do they say, “pride cometh before the fall?”
"At this rate, cornering Karina is only a matter of time."
Caroline, you do seem to think very highly of yourself and you’d supposed skills, don’t you?
Karina swallowed the rest of her words and gave a self-deprecating smile.
Just because the nice thing you’re doing will also greatly benefit you doesn’t mean you *arent* kind and virtuous.
