Trapped in the Mad Duke's Snare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
Adeline, escaping the prison, clamped her hands over her ears.
She kept hearing Bergamo’s laughter echoing in her ears.
No—it truly was audible.
Because behind Adeline, who hastily fled the prison, Bergamo was laughing like a madwoman.
Having barely made it past the prison entrance, Adeline couldn’t regain her composure.
No matter how tightly she shut her eyes, the prison’s afterimages kept replaying.
Bergamo’s maniacal expression, endlessly reaching through the iron bars to scratch at them, seemed ready to devour her on the spot.
Creak.
Along with the sound of her scraping the iron bars.
The persistent noise in her ears, the afterimages that wouldn’t fade even when her eyes were closed.
Adeline finally collapsed right where she stood.
She needed to return quickly.
But the strength in her legs, which had suddenly given out, showed no sign of coming back.
Huff. Hah.
She needed to calm down.
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.
