Wishing My Husband Dead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
The reason Embly chose Vasquez was obvious. Cordelia was his disciple—and also a Vasquez.
People wouldn’t see Dennis Vasquez and Cordelia Vasquez as entirely separate individuals.
In other words, part of the blame for Maximilian’s escape would inevitably fall on Cordelia as well.
It was ridiculous, but that was the reality—and precisely why Leonard intended to let the matter slide.
Weakness.
Anton seemed to have figured out what his weakness was.
“Don’t worry. Your brother will just undergo a brief interrogation and be released.”
“…Is that really okay?”
“You said it yourself—Vasquez was merely used as a scapegoat.”
Though Cordelia had little affection left for Dennis, she didn’t hate him enough to wish him a lifetime rotting in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.
“I’m sorry for making you worry unnecessarily.”
“It’s not your fault, so don’t apologize. Instead, send a notice of death to Abrams right away—along with the incident report from the city guard. That way, there’ll be no room for gossip.”
“Abrams will surely go berserk when they receive the notice. After all, the count died without an heir.”
“In other words, you’re completely irrelevant to them now. If there’d been even a drop of Abrams blood involved, like with Jared Abrams, they’d swarm like a pack of dogs. No one cares about some former countess. So just wrap up the funeral quickly and come back up.”
“Yes. I’ll do that. Oh—come to think of it, won’t my surname revert back to Vasquez?”
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.”
