Wishing My Husband Dead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 73
Denis roughly ran his hand through the back of his hair, repeatedly sitting down and standing back up. He was so blatantly indifferent now that Cordelia didn’t even feel disappointed anymore. Overwhelmed by the sudden flood of truth, she pressed her fingers against her temples.
“What on earth were you thinking when you took that money? You knew the truth, yet you never even told Father it was shameful?”
“What was I supposed to say? They were the ones who offered the money first.”
“Even so—am I even really your family? How could you accept money on the condition that you wouldn’t see me? And then brazenly stay at an inn far beyond your station with that money!”
If she’d had something in her hand, she probably would have thrown it right then. As she spoke, Cordelia’s stomach burned hotly—it felt as if her insides were being scorched.
“And on top of that, after losing Maximilian, you still expect Atirai’s forgiveness? How can a person be so shameless?”
“What shameless? Did you ever even think of us as family, Sister? I didn’t even know you’d become a mage until I came to the capital! Who was it that wiped their hands clean and abandoned me and Father first?”
“Father did first! No… fine. I get it.”
Cordelia had nearly shouted back in anger, but managed to lower her voice with effort. Trembling violently, she barely steadied her hands before speaking again.
“I’m sorry I didn’t take better care of you when I should have. From now on, I’ll take care of you and Father, so Atirai, stop taking money from Master.”
More than genuine remorse, she just wanted to settle this relationship as quickly as possible.
“Take care of us? Then can you give us money? How much?”
“…How much do you need?”
“At the very least, I need as much as I’m getting now.”
Denis said it shamelessly.
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!
A naturally dark female lead who could accidentally destroy the world but is actually an honest person VS a weak, pitiful, and helpless but skilled fighter, beautiful white-cut black male lead
