When faced with Tina's friendly gesture, Curtis felt like he had swallowed a bug that was now stuck in his throat, which made him feel really nauseous.He ignored Tina still, stood up, and looked at Margot, saying, "You guys eat. I'll go check on Daniel in his room first.""Okay."Margot nodded and watched Curtis leave, then she turned her attention back to Tina.When she saw Tina still looking at Curtis' departing figure with admiration in her eyes, she couldn't help but feel annoyed and said, "Princess Tina, I know my husband is attractive, but staring at him so blatantly might be inappropriate, don't you think?"Upon hearing this, Natalie finally realized what was wrong. She also looked at Tina.Tina smiled and looked back at Margot, saying, "You mentioned that your husband is very attractive. I just took a few extra glances. Ms. Stone, you wouldn't happen to be jealous, would you?""Please call me Mrs. Crosby, thank you."Margot forced a smile as she spoke.If it weren't f
Margot continued, "It's like earlier, if you keep staring at someone knowing they're married, the people outside would call you shameless."Natalie held back her laughter and nodded in agreement."Calling you shameless is actually kind of mild. If you keep eyeing married men, you might end up being treated like a rat crossing the street, with everyone wanting to beat you up and chase you away."Margot wasn't done with her speech."This is what happens when you keep eyeing other people's husbands. If someone shamelessly tries to seduce a married man, they will be put in a cage and thrown into the sea to drown."So, Princess Tina, be careful and don't make such mistakes again. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you."Tina's face turned pale by the end of Margot's speech.She quickly looked down and used the excuse of eating to cover up her embarrassment.She knew that the two women across from her were finding different ways to insult her. Damn it! She couldn't find any words
Curtis' remark piqued Margot's interest. She crouched next to Curtis, placed a hand on his leg, and batted her doe-like eyes as she asked, "Tell me, what did she do to make you feel disgusted? It couldn't have just been because she kissed you that day at the dance, right?"After that incident, Curtis didn't seem all that bothered by Tina.He had gone to the castle to find Tina later on, and something must have happened between them that made him now avoid Tina whenever he saw her."Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore," he said.Curtis didn't want to talk about it, so he quickly focused on his meal.Margot was very curious and said with a smile, "Tell me. I want to see what a woman can do to make a man so disgusted.""I'm not saying," said Curtis as his expression dimmed.Margot squinted at him and guessed, "She didn't strip down to seduce you, did she?"Curtis stayed silent and kept eating.From Margot's perspective, his silence equated to agreement.She didn't know
Margot felt like slapping Tina right now."Previously?" Natalie asked.She then frowned. "No wonder Curtis avoids her whenever he sees her. But you should trust Curtis. Besides, we need her help to lift the spell from Daniel, so it's better not to anger her for now."Upon hearing those words, Margot struggled to contain her anger."Fine, I won't provoke her for now. I'll deal with her myself once she lifts the spell from Daniel."Did Tina have a death wish? She dared to covet a man who belongs to Margot, huh?…At the same time, in Tina's room, she asked the helpers to call Edna over and handed her a package of medicine."I can tell they trust you and that you have a good relationship with them. Look for an opportunity to put this medicine in their food," Tina instructed.Edna looked at the item Tina held out in front of her with a face full of astonishment."Tina, what are you thinking? Even Father was no match for Calvin and ended up being forced to step down. Aren't you af
Upon hearing what Edna said, Calvin turned and glanced at her.After a moment of silence, he spoke truthfully, "Daniel rarely had interactions with women in the past, but it wasn't like he kept everyone at a distance. He used to treat his younger sister quite well."He was referring to Zyla. Daniel had treated Zyla better than anyone else.Edna was still very worried. She didn't say anything else and quietly left the room.Watching Edna's departing figure, Calvin turned his gaze back to Daniel lying on the bed. In fact, he was also worried about this issue.Edna was a nice girl, but what if Daniel woke up and refused to accept the marriage with her?After all, they were essentially a married couple, so they can't just let Daniel abandon her, right?Shortly after, Natalie pushed the door open and walked in.Upon seeing Calvin there, she asked, "Has Daniel not woken up yet?"Calvin got up and went to stand next to Natalie."Not yet, and I'm not sure when he will wake up. But wh
"Did you do something that warrants punishing yourself so harshly? Be honest with me, you didn't get physically intimate with her, did you?" Margot questioned.Curtis immediately raised his hand and swore, "I swear I didn't. She took off her clothes to try and seduce me, but I had the pepper spray that Gabriel gave me."When she got close to me, I sprayed her. She passed out within a couple of seconds, and then I left."Margot was at a loss for words. She didn't know why, but all of a sudden, her heart felt heavy and sorrowful. She still felt a faint sense of pain.Curtis worried she might overthink, quickly explained, "I even took my tie to cover my eyes at the time, so I really didn't see anything."Margot still felt her chest being weighed down by a heavy weight and suffocation. She got up, walked to the bed, and without saying another word, slipped under the blanket."Margot…"Curtis got up, walked over, sat down on the edge of the bed, and leaned over to hold her. "Can you
Calvin gritted his teeth and let Curtis go. "Curtis, I'm warning you. I'm grateful that you're helping me look into Daniel's matter, but if you end up flirting with other women and making Margot unhappy, I won't let you off the hook," he warned.As Calvin thought back to Curtis' past mistakes, he really wanted to punch him.Curtis lowered his gaze. His voice sounded raspy as he asked, "Do none of you trust me? After all these years, why would I fight so hard to stay with Margot if I had any doubts about my commitment to her?"Although Margot kept saying she trusted him, her actions clearly showed that she was bothered by it.Calvin's actions further confirmed his complete lack of trust in Curtis.It was kind of sad when Curtis thought about it."I'm just suspecting. If you didn't lead someone on, would they still be so attached to you?" Calvin remarked. He then asked, "Do you know why Tina still hasn't lifted the spell from Daniel?"Curtis looked at him and responded, "Didn't sh
"What did you inject me with? Why are you doing this to me? Don't you want me to lift the spell from Geralt?" Tina questioned while scratching herself.But the more she scratched, the itchier it got, and the itchier it got, the more she wanted to scratch.Her relatively delicate face was almost ruined from being scratched so roughly.Curtis straightforwardly said, "You go and lift the spell from Daniel right away, and I'll give you the antidote. If you don't, you'll just keep itching."Also, if more than five hours pass without taking the antidote, your skin will start to slowly decay. Disfigurement will be the least of your problems."Tina dared to cause trouble here. Did she think she had multiple lives or something?Even if they never had Daniel return to normal, they absolutely wouldn't allow Tina to act arrogantly in front of them.Tina felt an unbearable itching sensation, as if thousands of ants were crawling all over her body. With her face twisted in discomfort, she ang
