Thus Began Your Regret (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
Late dawn.
A man appeared before Emily Ernst as she stepped out of the party venue.
“Miss Ernst. Wait a moment.”
The one who called her back was Guildford Theodore, husband to her elder sister, Diana Theodore.
“Sir Theodore. You were here. How have you been?”
“Up until yesterday, well enough. But today, something came up.”
He slowly approached Emily while pulling on his outdoor gloves. Guildford looked down at her coolly and said,
“You couldn’t have done it out of ignorance. Just what were you thinking?”
“About what?”
“Your actions toward Mrs. Allen.”
Faced with his direct and probing tone, Emily simply shrugged her shoulders.
She had no reason to conceal anything. She openly explained her situation to him.
“Father declared he would marry me off to a bourgeois. I didn’t even know the man’s name—Cezanne Lubrain, I think? He’s an immigrant.”
At her words, Guildford’s eyes twitched slightly.
For someone like her, who carried pride as Lady Ernst, such an announcement must have sounded like a bolt from the blue.
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.
