Revenge of the Betrayed: The Domineering Duke Falls for Me Chapter 151: Not Betting on Me? She’s A Fool.
At that moment, faint but thunderous cheers and the pounding of drums echoed from below—it seemed the first horse race had begun. As time passed, the drumbeats and cheers grew louder and closer, heading swiftly toward the finish line. The riverbanks were packed with onlookers, a sea of people cheering wildly for the horses they had bet on. The deafening noise was so intense it seemed to shake the very ground.The lively atmosphere below appeared to affect even the dignitaries and nobles in the high pavilions. They, too, began shouting enthusiastically, casting aside their usual decorum.Even though Miranda wasn’t particularly interested in the outcome of the race, she couldn’t help but be swept up in the excitement. Clutching the window frame tightly, she peered downriver. On the wide track below, a group of horses gradually came into view, racing toward the finish line at breakneck speed. The competition was fierce, each horse vying for the lead.

Reginald’s expression remained calm and composed, a gentle smile playing on his lips. “Miss Quintina, don’t celebrate too soon. I may have won the race, but your cousin lost. Aren’t you worried this might upset him?” Though he knew full well that Zachary would be irritated by the loss, feeling bested, Reginald couldn’t resist repeatedly emphasizing the defeat.Standing nearby, Zachary ground his teeth in frustration but restrained himself from reacting in such a public setting.“My cousin isn’t that petty!” Quintina’s cheeks flushed slightly, her excitement undiminished as she cheerfully said, “Reginald, I knew you would win. Look! To celebrate your victory, I’ve specially embroidered this snow wolf cloak for you. It took me months of hard work to make it by hand. Do you like it?”With that, she opened a box she had been holding, taking out the cloak and unfurling it before them.Zachary, already aware of the cloak’s origins, feigned ignorance and nodded. “Impressive embroidery!”Marj

In the first round of the horse race, His Highness Zachary, Duke Reginald, Blackwell, and Linton participated, seemingly to probe where everyone’s support lay. Thus, the Croyso family all placed their bets on Montfort. However, starting from the second round, those reservations disappeared, and people began betting freely, with wins and losses creating a gradually livelier atmosphere.Lady Fitzroy glanced at Fulton and suddenly let out a soft laugh, the sound drawing the attention of a few nearby.Fulton looked up, his eyes meeting Lady Fitzroy's as she observed him placing his bets with a knowing and almost mischievous expression. He quickly realized that she had seen through his actions. Embarrassment crept up his neck, and his face slowly turned red, the flush deepening as he avoided her gaze.Wensley, puzzled by his mother’s sudden amusement, tilted his head and asked, “Mother, what’s so funny?”“Oh, nothing. I just remembered a joke I heard yesterday,” Lady Fitzroy said lightly, h

Selena pushed the door open and saw Quintina sitting by the window, next to a pot of peonies. She was dressed in a gold-embroidered pleated gown and adorned with a full set of ruby-encrusted jewelry. Her youthful, beautiful face carried an air of arrogance as she turned to scrutinize Selena from head to toe, her slightly upturned eyeliner adding a domineering and haughty edge to her expression.Selena curtsied gracefully and greeted, "Good day, Miss Quintina."Quintina continued to examine her closely. Selena was draped in a soft, pale green chiffon shawl over a nearly white silk dress, which accentuated her slender waist. Though still young, her presence exuded a delicate charm and allure.Such a perfectly shaped figure, such smooth, tender skin—she really is a little vixen!The sight of this radiant beauty only fueled Quintina's hatred, though she forced herself to suppress it for the moment. She waved Selena closer and said, "Come here. Let me have a look at you."As Selena approac

She suddenly stopped dodging, catching Quintina off guard. Hearing her words, all centered around herself and Reginald, Quintina’s suspicion flared. “You’d better give me a clear explanation! If I find out you’re stalling or scheming, I’ll have you dragged away and thrown into a brothel. Don’t think I won’t dare! Don’t even dream of fooling me!”Given Quintina’s status, it was entirely possible she could carry out such a threat.Selena had a sudden flash of inspiration. Knowing Quintina’s possessiveness over Reginald and her ruthless nature, she decided to redirect Quintina’s jealousy and anger toward Miranda. Quickly, she said, “Miss Quintina, you’ve misunderstood me. This cloak wasn’t entirely my work—Miranda embroidered part of it. No one would openly stitch their name onto a garment, leaving such an obvious handle for others. I believe Miranda must have added my name while working on her section, intending to frame me.”“Miranda?” Quintina’s suspicion deepened. “She’s skilled at e

"Selena, listen to me. I'm letting you off lightly today, but if I catch you getting involved with Reginald again, don't expect me to show any mercy!" Quintina shot Selena a furious glare, then gave her a hard kick before lifting her skirt and storming out. The room fell silent, leaving Selena alone. After a long moment, she let out a cold laugh. "Miranda, that little wretch—what does she have over me besides being the eldest daughter?" As she turned to leave, her expression suddenly changed. She quickly turned her back. Outside, a servant’s voice called, “Prince Zachary.” Why would Prince Zachary be here at this hour? Selena’s heart skipped a beat. In her current disheveled state, it would be disastrous if he saw her. The thought made her grit her teeth in hatred for Quintina. If it weren’t for Quintina, she wouldn’t have been humiliated like this. Zachary passed by the doorway and glanced into the room. The mess inside gave him a clear idea of what had happened. He smiled f

Inside the private lounge reserved by the Croyso family, the lively atmosphere brimmed with laughter as the group enjoyed betting on the horse races. Suddenly, a maid entered and whispered that His Highness Zachary and Lord Reginald had come to pay a visit.“Earl Croyso, what a coincidence,” Zachary said with a slight bow after the pleasantries. “Miss Selena was injured by accident while meeting with my cousin. I’ve already sent them to the infirmary for treatment and will ensure they’re safely escorted home afterward.” Skipping over the details, he continued, “It’s really Quintina’s mischief that caused all this, so I’ve come to offer my apologies on her behalf.”The Earl of Croyso assumed it was a minor accident during some outing and, though concerned, did not dwell on it. “Your Highness is too courteous,” he replied. Casting a glance at Reginald standing behind Zachary, he couldn’t help but wonder: why was the Duke here as well?Reginald seemed to catch his drift and smiled lazily

At this moment, the voice of a maid announcing from outside the door broke the silence: "My lord, my lady, Lady Landon and her daughters have arrived to pay their respects."Inside the private chamber, the queen's attendant, the unexpected visit of Prince Zachary and Lord Reginald, and the peculiar atmosphere in the room had already aroused suspicion in both Lord Croyso and Lady Langley. Now, hearing that Lady Landon had come with her daughters, they exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock and confusion mirrored in the other's eyes. Lord Croyso said, "Please, invite Lady Landon and her daughters in."A woman of about forty entered, dressed in a muted blue gown. Her round, fair face was adorned with a warm smile, exuding an air of friendliness. However, the occasional glint in her eyes and her probing gaze hinted that she was not someone to be underestimated.Behind her followed two young ladies, one in red and the other in green, close in age and both remarkably beautiful."Lord Cro

The visitor affirmed confidently, “There’s no mistake. Why else do you think our master insisted on having Young Master Andrew annul the engagement? Our young master is kind-hearted and worried that you and the Earl of Sheffield might not be aware of the truth, so he specifically sent me to inform you—lest you be deceived!” After exchanging a few more words, the Countess of Sheffield had the visitor sent away and hurried off to find the Earl. “Is this true?” The Earl of Sheffield rose abruptly, almost unable to believe it. “Of course it is! We absolutely cannot have this girl as a daughter-in-law! I doubt Lord Croyso is entirely unaware of this either. Otherwise, given his temperament, wouldn’t he have stormed over to the William family to demand an explanation? Instead, he quietly allowed them to annul the engagement without making a fuss!” The Countess had not expected such a stroke of luck—she had been wishing for a way out, and now it had been handed to her on a silver platt
Revenge of the Betrayed: The Domineering Duke Falls for Me Chapter 211: The Countess of Sheffield Won't Back Down
“Enough, stop crying!” The Earl of Sheffield, both frustrated by her tears and exasperated by the situation, waved his hand. “What’s the point of discussing this now? The engagement has already been set. Calling it off now would be a disgrace. Besides, Miranda is still young—if we endure this for a couple of years, perhaps His Majesty will lose interest, and this matter will be forgotten.” Despite these words, deep down, his dissatisfaction with Miranda as a daughter-in-law grew. Even though this situation had arisen due to the Dowager Queen’s proposal and could not be blamed on Miranda, it was, after all, centered around her. There was no doubt that Fulton—and by extension, the Sheffield family’s future—would be affected. “It’s easy for you to say.” The Countess of Sheffield scoffed. “Men are always like this—the more they can’t have something, the more they desire it. Who’s to say the King won’t become even more fixated on Miranda precisel
Revenge of the Betrayed: The Domineering Duke Falls for Me Chapter 210: The Troubled Sheffields
The Dowager Queen publicly expressed her desire for Miranda to enter the palace as a companion, and the news spread quickly. However, following this event, it became widely known that Miranda was already betrothed to Fulton. Moreover, the topic was not pursued further during the birthday banquet, leaving the matter of her palace residency in question.The only ones who truly found this situation troublesome were the Sheffields, who were engaged to Miranda.Furthermore, rumors emerged from unknown sources claiming that the Dowager Queen was already aware of the engagement but still favored Miranda and wanted her to visit the palace frequently. Normally, gaining the Dowager Queen’s favor would be a good thing and could benefit Fulton's future prospects. However, since the Dowager Queen had previously mentioned that she wished for Miranda to remain by the King’s side once she was older, this supposed honor became rather awkward. Worse yet, there were also rumors suggesting that the King
Revenge of the Betrayed: The Domineering Duke Falls for Me Chapter 209: A Distinguished Figure
Miranda left the Queen Dowager’s chambers with a heavy heart, following a maid. Though her expression remained calm, her mind was in turmoil. This banquet felt like a trap—perhaps just the beginning.Lost in thought and unfamiliar with the palace, she failed to notice she had been led astray.Reaching a secluded spot, she caught sight of a distinguished figure and froze. Her face paled as she hastily curtsied, unease weighing heavier. Any lingering doubt vanished—this was only the beginning."Your Majesty!"***Amidst a lush, verdant corner of the palace, the king stood beside a stone table, dressed in a deep green robe. His gaze was lowered, his expression unreadable, his presence so subdued that he nearly blended into the dense greenery behind him—unassuming, almost invisible.Had Miranda not seen him before at the Croyso estate, she might not have even recognized him as the king."Come closer," he said impassively, not even glancing her way.Miranda straightened and stood at a resp

"How could something like this happen?"The birthday banquet ended, and the Croyso family was preparing to board their carriage and return home. When the count did a headcount, he realized Miranda was missing, and his heart immediately sank. After hearing Selena recount the details of what had happened, he was utterly shocked. The dowager queen had openly suggested that Miranda enter the palace to serve as a royal companion?And His Majesty the King seemed willing..."Yes, at that time, the dowager said it publicly in front of many people, and His Majesty didn’t show any sign of refusal. Miranda probably didn’t want to offend both the dowager and the king in public, so she requested a private audience with the dowager. After the banquet ended, she went to the dowager queen's chambers," Selena explained softly.As she spoke, a wave of resentment welled up inside her.The most infuriating part was that Miranda didn’t even have to do anything, and yet the dowager queen adored her so much

From beginning to end, Zachary paid no attention to the situation here—not even a single glance in their direction.Earlier, upon seeing how much the Queen Dowager favored Miranda, he had felt a sense of joy, thinking there might be an opportunity to win Miranda back through her support. After all, the Queen Dowager was very fond of him. But now, after hearing that the Queen Dowager intended for Miranda to be chosen by his father and observing his father’s interest, cold sweat broke out across his back.Fortunately, he hadn't said anything. Otherwise, wouldn’t he have been competing with his father over a woman?The scandal with Landon’s daughter had already caused an uproar throughout the capital, and for the first time, his father had reprimanded him. With so many beautiful women in the world, there was no need to provoke his father over someone like Miranda! Although Miranda was engaged to Fulton, that was never a real obstacle when it came to entering the royal court. Affairs were

After chatting with the young nobles for a while, the Queen Dowager signaled the start of the banquet. Food was arranged in a buffet around the grand hall, allowing guests to enjoy a relaxed and leisurely time. Groups formed as everyone mingled, drank, and danced.Andrew glared at Miranda with a fiery gaze, his heart seething with anger and resentment.The woman he had once broken off an engagement with was now favored by the Queen Dowager? To make matters worse, there were even whispers that the Queen Dowager intended for her to serve in the royal court and accompany the King! She was nothing but a woman of tarnished reputation—someone he had rejected. Yet here she was, becoming more and more prominent. It was infuriating. Even though he knew Miranda was already engaged to Fulton, which likely ruled out her entering the palace, the contrast between her radiant success and June’s misfortune today made his fury unbearable.“Isn't it a pity, Miss Miranda?” Andrew sneered, approaching he

The King took his seat on the left and only then noticed Miranda, who stood with her head lowered. He asked, “Mother, who is this young lady?”The Queen Dowager smiled warmly. “Ah, she is a hidden gem I discovered today. Miss Miranda, raise your head and let His Majesty see you.”A sense of foreboding grew stronger in Miranda's heart. Yet, with no way to refuse, she slowly raised her head.The Queen Dowager kept her eyes fixed on the King, observing every subtle change in his expression without missing a detail.When the King saw Miranda’s face, a faint, unclear glimmer seemed to flash in his eyes. He arched his eyebrows slightly and carefully examined her. A trace of admiration appeared in his gaze. After a while, he smiled and said, “No wonder Mother is so fond of you. Such remarkable beauty is indeed rare!”Had the King shown either indifference or a dramatic reaction upon seeing Miranda, the Queen Dowager would have been able to gauge his thoughts more clearly. But now, with his m
Revenge of the Betrayed: The Domineering Duke Falls for Me Chapter 204: The Queen Dowager's Moment of Discomposure
With a decree from the Queen Dowager, everyone quickly lined up and entered. The young men and women stood quietly, not daring to make a sound.The Queen Dowager nodded and asked, "Who is Miss Miranda of the Croyso family?"Miranda's heart tensed. She stepped forward, curtsied, and respectfully replied, "I am Miranda, Your Majesty, the Queen Dowager!""Your gift may be simple, but it is a scripture you personally copied by hand, which shows your sincerity. I had the priest examine it, and he praised the elegant handwriting, noting that it is a scripture of blessing for peace and longevity. It’s clear you put a lot of thought into it." The Queen Dowager smiled warmly and ordered the scripture to be displayed.The displayed text was graceful, with no errors or omissions, as if completed in a single stroke.Receiving praise from the Queen Dowager, the crowd naturally expressed admiration. Soon, the hall was filled with voices of approval, and countless eyes were drawn to Miranda.Among t
