Lady Landon's face flushed red at the remark, but she couldn't retort—it would only confirm that she was the despicable person Lady Fitzroy was insinuating. She had assumed that since Miranda's birth mother had passed away and her stepmother didn’t favor her, no one would care about what she said. But unexpectedly…Seeing that even Prince Zachary didn’t speak up to defend Lady Landon, and Lord Reginald was smiling leisurely as if enjoying the spectacle, Fiona and Lila felt thoroughly humiliated. They silently blamed Lady Landon for stirring up trouble with her sharp tongue.The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward."Miss Miranda truly is delightful; no wonder even Lady Fitzroy is so protective of her," Lady Landon hurriedly tried to remedy the situation, realizing she had offended the crowd. She quickly added, "I must admit, I was remiss. I didn’t realize there were other gentlemen present here. How inappropriate of me."Her implication, however, was clear: the Croysos lacke

Inside the room, Lila cast a dissatisfied glance at Lady Landon, whose expression was awkward and at a loss. She had never expected that a single remark from her would drive both Prince Zachary and Lord Reginald away, leaving all her plans in ruins. While she was still in a daze, her maid suddenly approached and whispered a few words in her ear. Lady Landon’s face immediately lit up with joy.Lady Langley observed her and sneered, "Lady Landon must have pressing matters as well? "After being spoken to like this by Lady Langley several times, Lady Landon’s face flickered with a mix of shame and anger. However, prioritizing the bigger picture, she turned and nodded, asking, "This lady looks unfamiliar. May I ask how I should address you?"Lady Langley cast her a cool glance. "My surname is Langley."Lady Landon became even more perplexed. She had assumed this was a wife from a minor branch of the Croyso family, but the surname wasn’t even Croyso. As for Langley, she had never heard of

“Apologies, my lord Reginald, for offending your eyes with this blue dress!” Miranda shot him a glare. She had to admit that Lord Reginald was indeed strikingly handsome, almost too much so, but couldn’t he tone down the sharp remarks just a little? A woman’s love for beauty was only natural. She lowered her head gloomily, glancing at her blue dress. She rarely wore this color, but still—“Is it really... that bad?”Reginald froze for a moment before bursting into laughter. He quickly suppressed the sound to avoid being overheard, but he laughed so hard he doubled over.For some reason, the lingering gloom clouding his mind seemed to dissipate entirely at her words. His mood lightened instantly, and his smile, for once, carried genuine warmth and mirth rather than his usual faint smirk.Clearly, he had gotten the better of her again. Miranda shot him another furious look and turned away.After a long pause, a soft cough came from behind her, followed by Reginald’s uncharacteristically

Reginald's sudden interruption caused them to miss part of Lila’s words. All Miranda caught was Lady Landon letting out a long sigh and saying, “If it were anyone else, it wouldn’t matter. But you, my precious daughter, are the apple of my eye. Naturally, I’ll do everything in my power to secure a royal decree for you. However, Lord Reginald is not an option! A man of his caliber is coveted by countless noblewomen. Even the queen’s niece, Quintina, has adored him for years, yet Lord Reginald hasn’t relented. The queen, who dotes on Quintina as if she were her own daughter, doesn’t dare issue a marriage decree. So how could I? Besides, your father supports Prince Zachary. Our family is already tied to his cause. Zachary and Reginald don’t get along—how could you possibly marry Reginald without inviting criticism? Put those thoughts away and focus on not letting that Fiona girl outshine you. That’s what really matters.”

Reginald lowered his head slightly, looking at Miranda, whose head was bowed so low it seemed as if it might fall off. All he could see was the faint blush on her snow-white ears, a clear sign of her embarrassment. But situations like this were inherently awkward; the only thing to do was to pretend not to notice."My silly child, stop hesitating! Opportunities like this don't come twice!" Lady Landon coaxed earnestly. "Prince Zachary is the crown prince and will most likely become the next king. His future queen will hold the highest position in the land—nothing could be more prestigious. If Fiona snatches the position of consort, even if you manage to secure something later, at best, you'll only be a secret lover."Lady Landon sighed and continued in a nagging tone, "And think about it—do you really want Fiona lording it over you? Did you see that Miranda girl today? Smart, beautiful, and, most importantly, rumored to be someone Zachary personally petitioned the queen to marry. Even

Miranda snapped back to her senses. The situation wasn’t entirely hopeless. If she had remained completely unaware of this matter, once the queen issued her decree, there would be no way to change her fate. But now, with the queen’s decree yet to come and her knowledge of the situation, she still had room to maneuver. If she didn’t want to become Prince Zachary’s consort, she had to act fast. This had to be brought to her father and aunt immediately so they could devise a strategy together. Her instincts hadn’t failed her—thankfully, she had found out about this in time! Clutching her temples, Miranda desperately tried to calm herself, forcing her chaotic thoughts into order. After a moment, she raised her head and, still breathless, said, “Lord Reginald, I must return to my father at once. I doubt either he or my aunt knows about this.” She was confident neither her father nor her aunt had any intention of marrying her into the royal family. Her father, in particular, despised Pr

It took a while before Brandon slowly spoke, "Lord Reginald, I won't swear on Martha." As he said this, he suddenly realized something and looked ashamed. "Apologies, I truly misspoke earlier. I won't swear on Martha, but I also won't reveal anything. Please, Lord Reginald, trust me!" For the first time, he met Reginald's shadowy black eyes with a sincere expression.He genuinely felt remorseful. No one would swear on someone so important to them—it was indeed his mistake.Reginald scrutinized him for a long moment before finally speaking. "I hope you won't, because if you do, I'll make sure Martha dies a horrible death!"The two pairs of equally dark eyes locked onto each other, probing for sincerity and trustworthiness. After a long silence, Brandon let out a faint sigh of relief. "May I ask, Lord Reginald, what you need me to do?"***Miranda struggled to steady her emotions, but when she returned to the private room, her face was still a little pale. Everyone inside was startled a

At that moment, the person sent to gather information returned and reported, "My lord, it is the commander of the Imperial Guards leading the soldiers to surround this place."Everyone was shocked. Lord Croyso's expression turned grave. To alarm the Imperial Guards of the capital, the matter must be very serious. He hurriedly asked, "Did you find out what’s going on?"After hearing the report, everyone’s expressions drastically changed..."I overheard them saying they received a report that Lord Reginald was ambushed here. That’s why they rushed over, surrounded The Heavenly Lodge, and are searching for the assassin!" The guard from the royal household relayed the details he had gathered."Lord Reginald ambushed?" Lord Croyso furrowed his brows and fell silent.Miranda's heart also skipped a beat. When she had just parted ways with Reginald, he had been fine. How could he suddenly be attacked? Could it be that after they separated, he encountered another assassin? Or perhaps... Just a

The servant opened the door, only to find the study completely empty. At this point, it was better to risk Reginald being suspected by the king of deliberately concealing his whereabouts than to let him fall into the hands of the Blackwell family! Lady Liudmila's thoughts raced as she stepped forward and bowed, pleading, "Your Majesty, the Dowager Queen, I believe there is no need to cause such a commotion. I fear young Reginald has been mischievous and slipped away unnoticed. When he returns, I will personally discipline him severely for his unruly behavior that has caused you such worry and anger."“What nonsense are you speaking?” The Dowager Queen frowned deeply, her expression full of disapproval as she retorted, “Reginald may be mischievous, but he has always been measured in his actions. How could he do something as reckless as sneaking out? That’s too dangerous, and he would never disregard the entire family. Something must have happened!” Her gaze, heavy with displea

"I know that child Reginald is rather thin-skinned. Ever since he was publicly reprimanded, he’s been shutting himself away. Who knows if it has affected his health? There’s no need to bother notifying him—I’ll go with you to check on him," the Queen Mother said kindly. With that, she paid no further attention to the shadow guards, leaning on her cane as she slowly and leisurely walked out of the reception hall.The Queen thought to herself, The Queen Mother truly knows how to handle things! She quickly stepped forward to support the Queen Mother’s hand, walking out of the hall with an air of arrogance. Lady Liudmila and Hendrik, unable to intervene, could only follow anxiously. As Hendrik led the way, he silently prayed that they could escape disaster and that the Queen wouldn’t find any incriminating evidence.The group, familiar with the layout, soon arrived at the door to Reginald’s study. They called inside, but no respons
Revenge of the Betrayed: The Domineering Duke Falls for Me Chapter 188: A Rare Piece of Leverage
Prince Zachary had recently suffered a scandal at The Heaven Lounge, publicly reprimanded by the king and placed under house arrest. The circumstances reeked of manipulation, as Lila should never have entered the prince’s chambers without outside influence. With Lord Reginald also present, it was all too easy to suspect his involvement in orchestrating the incident. The queen and the Blackwell family directed their anger at Lord Reginald, relentlessly accusing and framing him. In the end, Lord Reginald, due to his arrogance and reckless behavior, was publicly reprimanded by the king during a court assembly. If the queen discovered that Reginald had no legitimate excuse for his current absence, the consequences would be dire.Though reluctant to leave Miranda’s side, Lord Reginald knew how to prioritize. With a sigh, he took one last longing glance around the room before preparing to leave. Suddenly, he paused, retrieved a pouch, and took out a small object. Plac

Miranda prepared the rosewater and brought it over to Lord Reginald, handing it to him.Lord Reginald took it and drank it in one gulp, finally feeling some relief in his stomach. His deep, dark eyes fixed on Miranda as he said slowly, "Miranda, tomorrow I don’t want to see any bitter melon on my plate. Also, stop adding Coptis root to my medicine. And don’t ever drink rosewater in front of me without giving me a cup. Otherwise," he grinned, baring his sharp white teeth, "I’ll bite you!"How did he figure it out? Miranda’s heart skipped a beat, but she feigned ignorance. "Lord Reginald, I don’t know what you’re talking about.""Still playing dumb? If you didn’t know I hated bitterness, when I asked for rosewater earlier, you should have been puzzled, not amused. Clearly, you knew I disliked bitter flavors and were just standing by to enjoy the show!" Lord Reginald snorted, his tone heavy with accusation.Only then did Miranda realize she had given herself away. Feeling a bit guilty, s
Revenge of the Betrayed: The Domineering Duke Falls for Me Chapter 186: If There Were Such A Man
If Fulton really was your ideal husband, she could’ve answered me directly, or perhaps even shyly remained silent. But instead, you’re cold and unresponsive, with that same darkness in your eyes I’ve seen before. Reginald thought, narrowing his gaze. The same look her had when confronting her stepmother at that villa by the hot springs—resentment, hatred, anger, and even a desire to drag her down into the depths with herself."Does it matter whether he is or isn’t?" Miranda abruptly raised her head, seemingly irritated by Reginald’s relentless questioning. Her dark eyes burned with a ghostly fire, shadowed by gloom. "Lord Reginald, have you ever witnessed something like this? Two people, seemingly deeply in love, where the woman pours her heart and soul into her husband, offering unreserved devotion, only to be discarded and mercilessly killed once her usefulness runs out! If you’ve seen such a thing, would you still think any of this matters? "True love, mutual devotion, a lifetime

It seemed that Reginald noticed her puzzlement. A bit flustered, he tried to cover it up, saying, “I was just curious. You know, my mother has been pressuring me as well, so perhaps I’ll also need to find a suitable match soon. I wonder what women think about this—what kind of husband would you want, for example?”When Miranda heard him mention marriage, her face showed no hint of emotion, and he couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment.Of course. They hadn’t known each other for long, and he was always teasing, mocking, or scaring her. How could she possibly have feelings for him? Why would she care if he got married?To her surprise, despite his high status and his usual wild and unrestrained behavior, Reginald seemed genuinely interested in understanding what women thought about their ideal husband. This made him seem unexpectedly innocent and endearing. Seeing his sincerity, Miranda decided not to brush him off and thought seriously about what she would want in a husband. “

Molly thought, after drinking that entire bowl, even Lord Reginald’s gut would probably turn bitter. What on earth had he done to upset Miss Miranda so much that she would treat him like this? But perhaps it wasn’t so bad—it at least showed that Miss Miranda didn’t have much affection for Lord Reginald. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to such lengths. Considering Miss Miranda had already experienced one broken engagement with the William family, hopefully, this engagement with the Sheffield family wouldn’t fall apart too.After all, compared to the infamous and wildly arrogant Lord Reginald, the gentle and refined Fulton was undoubtedly a better match.Knowing Reginald must now be suffering from a mouth full of bitterness, Miranda deliberately poured herself a glass of rosewater in front of him. She took a sip and praised, “Fragrant and sweet, delicate but not cloying. No wonder a tiny bottle of this costs hundreds of gold coins. It’s truly worth every penny—so delicious.”Then, as

"Say it again. What do you want to eat?" Miranda fixed her eyes on him, as if trying to bore a hole through his face."Cake... cake. What's wrong with that?" Lord Reginald shrank slightly, baffled. It was just cake. Did she really need to flip out over it?He dared to say it again! Miranda's chest heaved with anger. She no longer cared that the person before her was the unpredictable Lord Reginald. She roared, "Shut up!""What for? I just want some cake! Is that such a big deal?" Lord Reginald was taken aback, having never seen her like this before. More importantly, he inexplicably felt guilty again. His usual arrogance faded, and he mumbled, "Even if the cake from the Croyso household is complicated to make and requires rare ingredients, I’ll pay you double—"Before he could finish, Miranda’s enraged shout interrupted him."Lord Reginald, go to hell!" How dare he bring it up again! Even if he had been feverish and unaware last night, it was still unforgivable! Seething, Miranda grab

“That’s such an innocent question!” Miranda thought to herself, though she kept her expression neutral. Out loud, she replied, “I have no idea. Just as I was about to sleep last night, you suddenly appeared out of nowhere and collapsed with a high fever.” As she spoke, she instinctively stepped forward to check his forehead. Feeling its coolness, she smiled with relief. “The fever has finally gone down.”Last night?Reginald paused, faintly recalling some trouble from the night before. He vaguely remembered walking a long distance, seeing a face that brought him peace, and then everything blurred. So... last night, in his feverish state, he had stumbled into the Croyso estate and ended up in Miranda’s room?It was a miracle he’d managed to evade the estate guards while so out of it. Otherwise, it would’ve caused a huge commotion.And… feeling her soft hand against his skin, Reginald’s gaze deepened.“Lord Reginald, since you were ill, why didn’t you stay home to rest? Why come here in
