Why Do You Obsess Even After Death (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 118
In truth, I couldn’t possibly prevent Pesoor from being taken away entirely.
It was true that Pesoor had sold painkillers for extra profit, and if someone insisted on pressing the matter, there were countless ways to twist the story against him.
If I rashly stepped forward to protect him, someone would surely suspect that Pesoor had indeed committed some illegal act.
That was probably exactly what Belial wanted.
Just as I had shattered people’s admiration for Belial, he likely intended to shatter the Niriel Family’s reputation as well.
Yet, if I simply handed Pesoor over without resistance, they would surely fabricate additional charges and exile him from the Empire.
It seemed he wanted to present me with an impossible choice—neither option acceptable—and slowly tighten the noose around my neck.
“No answer, I see.”
Laches tilted his head slightly and muttered, a fierce smile curling at the corner of his crooked mouth.
“The Viscount Littha was merely confined to his mansion despite clear evidence seen by everyone at the Imperial Ballroom of him personally handling illegal narcotics, yet the Niriel Family’s personal physician, with neither evidence nor even circumstantial proof, must languish in prison for days?”
At Laches’ accusation, the Captain of the Knights fell silent and averted his gaze.
“Must I meet His Majesty in person to inform him of your incompetence?”
“…No.”
The Captain of the Knights sighed, turned his head, and looked directly at me.
“If no substantial evidence is found after a week of investigation, we will return him to your family.”
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
I thought the same Pesoor, it wasn’t just you. I thought for sure you’d undergo rough interrogation.
