Regina didn't show a surprised look or anything, she just had a flat expression as she listened to her father's answer. Since she had heard from Sio first, Regina asked that because she wanted to hear it straight from the Deptian's mouth."But don't worry, I'll catch him no matter what. I'm sure that even if he's very good at disappearing, he'll still be found!" Deptian reassured Regina, as he was afraid she would get upset."Yes, Father! I believe in you, you'll find this person sooner or later. But as I said before, please investigate the insiders first, for fear that it might not be someone from afar who is treacherous".Regina decided to leave without saying goodbye, leaving Deptian who had been silent.'I hope Father will expose Elisabet as soon as possible. Then I will bring more evidence!' Regina hoped in her heart.Even though the only evidence Regina had was Jake's confession, if there was strong evidence from her father that Elisabet wanted to kill her. Then it would incrimi
Regina felt bad for Teri, but she couldn't forget what the woman had done. Even if Teri had been set up, Regina still thought the waitress was guilty."I hope nobody got hurt! But if any part hurts, you can come to Nin for treatment." Regina walked away, leaving Teri alone.Regina walked down the corridor, daydreaming all the way, thinking that she left this residence when she married Grand Duke Hestian Mertia. Her name would also change to Regina Mertia, no longer Regina Grana.'Is he really going to divorce me when it's all over?' she muttered to herself.Regina's heart hesitated, but she had no choice. Especially now that her life was in danger. So there was no way she could back out, but she was worried about her father, who was living with a bad person. No matter how her father behaved, she was still her only family and also the biological father who had raised her to be as big as she was now."Ugh, my head hurts again!" Regina groaned softly.Regina held on to the wall because h
Regina slowly unfolded the crumpled paper and read the contents. It was true that Elisabet had bought a lot of medicine. This made her even more certain that Elisabet was really doing this.'No wonder I feel different these days,' she muttered to herself.Regina stared at the paper that was the receipt for the medicine from the drugstore in the capital. Who else but Nin would have given her mother the prescription."But we still need more evidence, because she'll definitely be evasive if it's just this note." Regina squeezed the note."How about we take some of the food, miss?" asked Merry as she looked at the food scattered on the floor."Take the food and put it in a small plastic bag. Then you can walk out quietly and give it to the doctor in the capital!" Regina ordered Merry.Teri looked down, she didn't think so. Instead, she dropped all the food on the floor, leaving it scattered all over the place, not even thinking about taking it to a doctor to corroborate her evidence."Ye
"Worried? Can you clearly explain what that means? Where did the word worry come from when you put antidepressants in my food without my knowledge!" Regina shouted, her voice shaking.Regina clenched her fists under the covers, wanting to curse Elisabet. But she realized that her father would not like her being rude to her stepmother."I told you I was worried about you, Regina. So don't misunderstand me about the medicine," Elisabet said, wiping away the tears that had fallen from the corners of her eyes.Regina chuckled in annoyance. There was always an excuse coming out of her stepmother's mouth."Then why are you worried about me?" Regina looked at Elisabeth sarcastically, as if she wanted to swallow the woman alive."I have a feeling you are having a hard time thinking about the intruder. Since you hate me, I dare not even approach you."Elisabet paused her words, busy wiping away the tears that seemed to be forced out."Because I was thinking of you, who must be having a hard ti
"Because you ordered this servant. You will still be punished, I will take away your power right now, no monthly budget for three months and after that all budgets are restricted!" Deptian pointed at Elisabet face, she still looked very angry."What?" Elisabet did not look unhappy."Why, you don't accept the decision I made?" snapped Deptian in a high tone."No, I'm just ...." Elisabet did not continue her sentence, she looked away."Good. You must realize that the position of a hostess in a noble family is not to be taken lightly! So I'll leave this task to Regina, after all she has to learn to take care of everything when she becomes a countess!" Deptian quickly left Regina's room.Paying no attention to his wife, who was still sitting on the cold floor, Deptian continued to walk quickly.Regina chuckled, but Elisabet did not hear it because she was lost in thought.'It may not be what I want, but the important thing is that she can't do anything for these three months!' Regina said
The very different-looking servant left immediately, hurrying to the room where Elisabet was."Madam, may I come in?" She knocked softly on the door, afraid that someone might see her.The door opened, revealing Elisabet with a disheveled appearance and puffy eyes. The madam looked at the servant with a blank expression."Why are you here, Pio?" Elisabet asked, closing the door to her room before allowing Pio to enter."I have something important to tell you," Pio whispered softly as she glanced around, worried that someone might be watching."What?!" Elisabet asked sarcastically. She didn’t like anyone seeing her in her current state."Let me in first, Madam," Pio pleaded with a desperate expression.Reluctantly, Elisabet let Pio in, even though she truly didn’t want anyone in her room except her son.Elisabet walked in first while Pio closed the door behind her."Tell me quickly!" Elisabet demanded, glaring at Pio. She was impatient to hear what the servant had to say."I heard that
"If the Countess has agreed, it means that the Count has agreed with me. As I said, I will take care of everything. Of course, I will do it with as much fanfare as possible," Hertia said, looking happy to hear the Countess' answer.Deptian could say nothing more. He could only sigh at his wife's actions. Had he known, he would have locked Elisabet in her room on the pretext that she was ill.But it was too late, so Deptian just accepted it. After Hertia left, he planned to scold Elisabet for interrupting him while he was talking.All talks went well, and Hertia decided to look around the Count's residence, as she wanted to talk to Regina alone."Very well. If the Grand Duke would like to look around with Regina," Deptian said, giving permission.Regina nodded and approached her future fiancé. They went out together."Are you satisfied?" Deptian said curtly and left Elisabet alone.Deptian was reluctant to scold Elisabet because Hertia was still in her residence."I didn't expect you t
Regina hit her face with the pillow hard, startling Merry, who was still in the room."Miss, you'll get hurt!" Merry scolded with a panicked expression."Haha... Merry, you're so funny, saying I'll get hurt from this soft pillow." Regina staggered as her head felt too dizzy."I already told you, Miss," Merry said, quickly helping her back to bed.Regina couldn't argue with what Merry said. In fact, as far as she remembered, she had only hit the pillow lightly."Are you feeling better, Miss? If so, we should change into something more comfortable first," Merry suggested.Regina nodded and followed Merry's suggestion. After all, there was no way she was going to wear this heavy dress to bed. It was uncomfortable, distracting, and would make her too hot all night.Painstakingly, Merry helped Regina change into her nightwear. All this time, Merry had been trying her best to serve her mistress. She often sought guidance from Cellin, the butler, to improve her skills."Grand Duke, why are y
Elisabet looked very scary to Selina as she threw everything in her room while screaming hysterically.Selina cried out in fear. She didn't dare to move, just cowering in the corner of the room, hoping not to be hit by her mother's thrown objects."Kyaa!" cried Selina as one of the objects hit her.Selina cried as red liquid flowed from her head."Selina," shouted Elisabet, who came to her senses after hearing her daughter's cries.She went over, but Selina buried her face in her knees as her body shook."Child, don't be afraid of me. I'm not going to hurt you, so just calm down," Elisabet said softly as she stroked Selina's head.Selina raised her head and looked up at her mother with tear-filled eyes. "Are you going to kill me?"With shaking hands, Elisabet wiped away the rest of Selina's tears. "No, why would I kill you? You are my dearest child."Elisabet hugged Selina tightly, occasionally wiping away the tears that continued to stream down her face."I'm sorry," she said softly.
