Reborn as the Wife He Killed Chapter 141: Emma’s Assistance and Schemes
The night was deep and quiet. Livia stood in front of the mirror, gazing at her own reflection—her eyes, though slightly weary, still held a sharp glint.She scooped up a handful of icy water from the basin beside her, splashing it onto her face with force, the chill jolting her fully awake.She couldn’t rely on willpower alone to persuade Edgar—she needed more leverage.Her mind swiftly ran through all possibilities before settling on one person.Emma.She had to find Emma.The castle was silent, draped in the weight of the late hour. Livia moved soundlessly through the corridors, her steps light as she made her way toward Emma’s quarters.She didn’t knock. Instead, she pushed the door open and slipped inside.But the moment she stepped in, a flash of cold steel came hurtling toward her!Livia instinctively tilted her head, the blade of a dagger grazing past her cheek, stirring a faint gust of air.She retreated swiftly, her steps steady and silent. On the other side of the room, Emm

The soft morning light spilled onto the cobblestone path as Livia stood alone before the grand iron gates of the Lord’s Manor. Dressed in a simple dark gown, she faced the imposing entrance—a symbol of Edgar’s authority and the barrier she now had to overcome.She had brought no attendants, not even Emma. Today, she had to confront Edgar’s defenses by herself.As expected, the moment she approached the manor, several armored guards stepped forward to block her path.“Miss Livia, please stop here,” one of them said in a low voice. Though respectful, his tone left no room for negotiation.Livia’s gaze swept over them coldly. Without a word, she took another step forward.“Do you not know who I am?” Her voice was crisp and unwavering, cutting through the quiet morning air.The guards exchanged uneasy glances. Of course, they knew—she was the Lord’s daughter. But their orders were clear: she was not to be allowed inside.Moments later, a man clad in silver armor stepped forward. His expre

“Don’t ask. I’m just following someone else’s request. Go inside and talk to your father properly.”As if sensing Livia’s unspoken questions, Allen offered no further explanation.Livia frowned slightly, her gaze lingering on Allen.His voice felt strangely familiar, as though she’d heard it somewhere before. No matter how hard she tried to recall, she found no clues.His presence was like a missing puzzle piece—absent, yet seemingly connected to her past.She couldn’t help but steal another glance at the man before her.Allen was tall and slender, exuding a detached, almost ethereal air. There was an indescribable mix of coldness and distance about him, with eyes that remained indifferent and lips faintly curved, as if nothing in the world could truly touch his heart.Who exactly was he? And why was he here?But she asked no further. Since he was unwilling to explain, she could only suppress her curiosity and follow him through the gates of the Lord’s Manor.The grand hall was bathed

“I’m sure you already know why I’m here. Marcellus must have told you—I intend to take over as the new leader of the ‘Expansion Project,’” Livia declared firmly.Seated behind a grand ebony desk, Edgar clasped his hands together, his sharp gaze fixed on Livia. Though he had heard her words, his expression remained utterly calm, as if everything was within his expectations. Yet, his fingers tapped lightly against the desk, slow and steady, a quiet rhythm that betrayed his contemplation.Beside him, Allen leaned casually against the window, arms crossed, the corners of his lips curling into an almost imperceptible smirk. His eyes flickered between Edgar and Livia, as though he were watching an unexpected drama unfold before him.In contrast, Livia stood unwavering, her chin slightly lifted, her gaze firm and piercing. Confronted by two powerful men, she did not falter. Instead, she exuded an aura of confidence, a sharp-edged presence that demanded attention.Finally, Edgar spoke, his to

“But the people may not agree. They might think I’m showing blatant favoritism.” Edgar continued to find excuses.“Favoritism?” Livia’s voice was firm as she met her father’s gaze without hesitation. “I’ve already said that once I take charge of the expansion project, I will immediately hold a public assembly to announce that I am merely acting as Marcellus’s proxy. The moment he recovers, I will return this position to him.”She paused briefly before continuing with even greater resolve. “Even during my tenure as his proxy, every decision will be reported to Marcellus, and he will have the final say.”Her words were airtight, addressing any potential concerns from the public and giving them enough reassurance.Edgar frowned slightly, as though still weighing how to reject her. But just then, a sudden commotion erupted outside. The noise grew louder and louder, penetrating even the thick walls until it could be heard clearly.The uproar filled the hall, a mixture of shouting and buzzi

Just as Livia was still probing her father’s stance, Allen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke. His tone was resolute, carrying an undeniable firmness:“My First Legion will fully support Livia.”A single sentence, like a thunderclap, shattered the delicate balance in the room.Livia jerked her head up, staring at Allen in shock. She had never known who took over the First Legion after her mother’s passing. But now, it finally dawned on her—Elise had mentioned it once before: her mother’s direct lineage had inherited the command. That name… it was Allen.So it was him. No wonder he had sided with her without hesitation. That meant Emma had likely arranged this after their conversation yesterday.A surge of complex emotions welled up within her. On one hand, she found herself even more intrigued by her mother—what kind of person had she been to command such loyalty, even after death, that so many people still remembered her and were willing to help her daughter? On the

As Livia stepped out of the governor’s mansion, the air outside felt far lighter than the stifling atmosphere within. Yet, she could still feel the faint dampness in her palms. Even though the man she had faced was her so-called “father,” she knew all too well that Edgar was no kind parent—he was the ruler of this city, a man of power, calculation, and unwavering control. More importantly, she had never once regarded him as her father.She exhaled slowly, her gaze sweeping across the horizon, where the setting sun tinged the sky with a soft crimson glow. But there was no relief in her heart. She had won today’s negotiation, but this was only the beginning. She was not Livia—she was Alia, a woman from the lower depths of society, forced to tread carefully. More than anyone, she understood the consequences of failure.Raising her hand, she brushed her fingertips against the lingering moisture in her palm before lowering her arm, pushing all emotions deep inside. At this moment, she coul

Edgar leaned back in the heavy rosewood chair of his study, his gaze calmly fixed on the concealed door before him. The fireplace crackled with a steady flame, its orange-red glow casting shifting shadows on the oil paintings adorning the walls. A faint scent of burning wood lingered in the air, yet the warmth of the fire failed to dispel the underlying chill in the room.His voice was unhurried, carrying a detached indifference. “You saw and heard everything yourself. I have no reason to stop Livia from temporarily taking charge. And besides, Livia is my daughter, after all. I’ve warned you already—you are not to harm her.”Eryx let out a low chuckle, laced with both mockery and disdain. As he approached, his black-gloved fingers idly rubbed against his palm, his tone dark and slow. “No need to worry. I won’t harm her. No matter how capable she is, Livia is not Marcellus. As long as Marcellus isn’t the one leading the expansion project, it won’t be too much of a problem for me.”Edga

Livia turned her head to look at Marcellus, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly—he really was the kind of person who could never be ignored. She and Emma had come to their suspicions only after comparing their differing sources of information, cross-checking details, and reasoning things through again and again. That’s when they began to sense something strange about the whole situation, suspecting that someone else might be behind it all.But Marcellus had reached nearly the same conclusion entirely on his own, through nothing but personal observation and logical analysis—and his certainty even surpassed hers. That kind of insight and sharp instinct… truly impressive.Her gaze softened a little without her realizing it, though she quickly reined in her emotions and returned to her usual calm.At that moment, Elias spoke as well. His eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a cautious, skeptical tone in his voice. “I had my men re-examine the blast site. To be honest—if that explosion wa
Reborn as the Wife He Killed Chapter 164: Marcellus’s Guess
“Should we consider Eryx as our primary suspect?”To Livia’s surprise, Marcellus suddenly proposed this guess. His voice was low and firm, as if he had been thinking about this possibility for a long time.Livia was momentarily stunned, almost unable to react in time. Her eyes widened slightly, her mouth parted in surprise. “Primary suspect?” she repeated, her voice tinged with astonishment. She hadn’t expected Marcellus to directly label Eryx as their primary suspect.Marcellus nodded, a determined glint flickering in his eyes. He continued, “Yes, I now strongly suspect that everything, from your kidnapping to my attack, and even the hidden conspiracies behind it all, was orchestrated by Eryx. A long time ago, I noticed that he seemed to have some sort of collaboration with Edgar, and his obsession with the ‘Holy Grail’ far exceeds what would be considered normal. This makes me more certain that he is involved.” He paused, gazing deeply at Livia. “I’m sorry, Livia, I should have told

Marcellus slowly straightened his body. His expression, usually tight and severe, had softened with a rare trace of honest fatigue. Looking at Livia, who stood by the bedside, his eyes held a hint of genuine apology.“I’m sorry, Livia. I shouldn’t have kept everything hidden from you,” he said in a low but serious voice. “I promise you—once we find the ‘Holy Grail,’ I’ll tell you everything. No more secrets. And then… I’ll give you back the freedom to choose.”As she listened, something inside Livia stirred, like a taut string gently plucked.She couldn’t tell whether this was a true apology or a calculated attempt to smooth things over. But seeing Marcellus lower his head first, dropping his usual cold and stubborn facade, something in her own resistance quietly cracked open.“Forget it…” she sighed, her tone still weary. “Let’s just focus on which tasks I need to take over. I might be your temporary replacement in name, but I can’t come running to you for every little thing. Looking

Livia looked at Emma with a gentle gaze. Though her tone was soft, it carried a subtle firmness that left no room for objection. “Thank you, Emma. Don’t worry. Right now, your safety is the most important thing. I believe in you—but not everyone in this world will be able to trust you like I do. For now, it’s best if you rest properly here in the castle.”Her voice dropped a little, laced with caution and vigilance. “We need to make sure your identity remains a secret—especially from those on Eryx’s side. Only step in when it’s absolutely necessary. Your presence will matter most when the time is right.”Emma raised an eyebrow, about to speak, but Livia continued before she could.“And there’s something more important… I need you to watch over the study for me.”Livia’s expression grew a touch more serious as her eyes flicked toward the far end of the corridor. Her voice lowered further. “Eryx once tried to sneak in. His target was that file. Now that Marcellus is injured, he might tr

“I’m not sure,” Emma said, her brows slightly furrowed. A shadow of memory passed through her eyes as she slowly shook her head. Her voice was low, but firm. “I first started having doubts after you were kidnapped.”Livia froze, then turned slightly toward Emma with a puzzled look. “Kidnapped? Why? Weren’t those people… with Eryx?”Her voice was tinged with confusion and a trace of instinctive denial—she remembered those people clearly wearing the uniforms of Eryx’s covert forces. If she hadn’t seen them before, she wouldn’t have been able to recognize them.Emma nodded, her voice calm but laced with a chilling edge. “Yes, on the surface they were. So when I got the message that you’d been kidnapped—and almost… killed,” she paused, her tone dropping lower, as if even the air grew heavy under the weight of those words, “I pointed a gun at him the moment I saw him.”She remembered that day clearly—inside a cabin only she and Eryx knew about. Her killing intent had been real. If Eryx had

“I’m not entirely sure about him either.”Livia lowered her gaze slightly, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing the fabric of her skirt. Yet her voice remained unexpectedly firm. “He has his own motives, but he never talks about them… Still, I believe he wouldn’t hurt me.”At that moment, a faint glimmer of defiance and trust shimmered in her eyes, unfiltered and honest—an expression of her understanding of Marcellus: complicated, yet unwaveringly loyal.Emma looked at her, silent for half a second, then suddenly smiled, her tone lightening a little.“Indeed, I can tell—he loves you. Of course he wouldn’t hurt you.”That unexpected tease stirred a ripple across the still surface of their conversation. Caught off guard, Livia blinked in surprise, her cheeks quickly tinged with pink. She bit her lower lip lightly and turned her face away, a bit embarrassed.“You’re teasing me again…”Emma chuckled, shaking her head as she continued flipping through the notebook and diagrams in her hand,

“No matter what, right now there are multiple forces vying for the ‘Holy Grail,’” Livia breathed in deeply, her voice mixed with alertness and concern. “What about General Allen? What are his intentions? What’s his connection to my mother? I know it was you who helped me find him, thank you.” Her tone was sincere, and there was a trace of gratitude in her eyes.Emma nodded gently, her expression serious as she answered, “I’m not very familiar with Allen, but your mother once told me that if one day she was gone or I was in trouble, I just needed to find Allen, mention her name, and he would certainly help.” She paused, her gaze softening with a touch of tenderness and respect. “He said that no matter what situation I was in, if Celesta’s name was mentioned, he would take action.”She sighed softly, seemingly still uneasy about the risks she took back then. “So, this time, I took the risk and went to find him, telling him about your situation. His response… truly lived up to your mothe

Hearing this, Alia felt the tension in her heart ease just a little. Her intuition told her that Emma was trustworthy. Her emotions toward her mother were sincere, and she bore no ill intentions toward Alia. Perhaps she had her own motives, but she would never harm her.If there was anyone in this world who truly cared about her mother’s life and death and was willing to seek the truth, Emma was undoubtedly one of them.Livia let out a slow breath, her gaze sharpening as she decided to press further.“Do you know the cause of my mother’s death?” She looked straight into Emma’s eyes, lowering her voice. “The outside world says it was due to exhaustion, but I don’t believe that.”As soon as she spoke, Emma’s expression changed dramatically. Her gaze turned sharp and cold, filled with deep scrutiny and wariness.“I don’t believe it either.” Her voice was low but carried an undeniable conviction. “I know better than anyone what kind of person your mother was. She wasn’t someone who would

As Livia was still lost in thought, Emma’s voice rang out again, carrying a faint smile yet laced with complex emotions. “Originally, your mother just wanted me to be a happy princess. If I had accepted that path back then, perhaps we would be sisters now…”Her gaze drifted slightly, as if recalling a distant time. “I remember back then, you were still very young, and Lianna hadn’t been born yet.”Livia’s heart stirred slightly as an image of her gentle yet resilient mother surfaced in her mind. She tried to imagine—if Emma had truly taken that path, what would their relationship have been like? Would they have been inseparable sisters, or perhaps a bond akin to mentor and student?But Emma merely let out a soft sigh and shook her head. “But I didn’t want that.”Her voice grew firm, and in her eyes, a sharp determination ignited. “I wanted to repay your mother. More than that, I wanted to prove myself. So, I chose another path—I joined the military.”She tilted her head slightly, a gl
