The Villainess Doesn't Want Love (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 23
Knock knock.
A knock sounded, and the study door opened.
“There you are.”
Caroline stepped inside.
“What brings you to the study, Sister?”
Jeremiah asked, surprised by her sudden visit.
“I came because I have something to say.”
Caroline often dropped by the study without prior notice.
Each time, she disguised unreasonable demands as suggestions.
She’d insist he invest in a newly established company he’d never heard of, sign contracts with unproven firms, or donate to dubious organizations with unclear purposes.
Most of her requests were deeply unappealing to Jeremiah.
“I have a lot of work to handle. If it’s not urgent, let’s discuss it later.”
Unhappy with her visit, Jeremiah made his refusal clear.
Though it was an obvious dismissal, Caroline’s next words made Jeremiah lift his head.
“Even if it concerns Karina?”
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.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!

"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.
