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
Margot woke up because she heard a noise. As she followed the sound and headed toward Daniel's room, she suddenly saw the family's bodyguards dragging a woman toward her.She stopped in her tracks and saw that the person being dragged over by the bodyguards was Tina.Margot was very surprised.As the bodyguards passed by her, they all nodded and greeted, "Ms. Margot."With a look of curiosity, Margot watched Tina, whose face was swollen and red, constantly scratching herself."What happened? What's going on?" Margot asked."Mr. Crosby asked us to take this person away."The bodyguards didn't dare to slack off and quickly took Tina away.Tina continued to scratch herself frantically, crying out in discomfort as she did so, "Curtis, give me the antidote. Curtis, you can't do this to me. Curtis…"Margot, while seeing Tina get dragged away and still calling out for Curtis incessantly, felt very uneasy.She quickly headed toward Daniel's room.Just as she reached the doorway of t
But… Daniel also recalled all the bits and pieces from his past.He felt a sense of discomfort in his heart and spoke to Edna with a cold demeanor, asking, "Can you please go away first?"Edna was taken aback by how Geralt had suddenly become so distant. She didn't move away. Instead, she lifted her hand, wanting to touch him.Daniel stepped back evasively, looking at her with a sense of detachment, and asked, "PrincessEdna, could you please not come near me?"Edna stopped her movement, and her steps involuntarily stumbled backward. She felt her heart ache sharply.Geralt had recovered. But just as Tina had said, he was beginning to resent her. Did he want to keep her at a distance?Edna didn't believe it and tried to reach out to touch him once again.Daniel saw her approaching him again and immediately moved to avoid her, shouting coldly, "What are you trying to do? I told you to stay away from me. Didn't you hear me?"As he spoke, the moment he thought about what had happene
