Knowing that the entire courtyard was watching her, Miranda still smiled, neither humble nor arrogant. She had achieved the shocking effect she wanted. Now, she didn’t need to do anything but continue to display her elegance and composure, which was already a heavy slap in the face to Selena and Andrew. With graceful steps, she approached Selena and said sweetly.“Sister, won’t you introduce me?”Selena was so furious that she could barely maintain her smile. Her hand, hidden in her sleeve, was already twisting a handkerchief beyond recognition.At this moment, a woman in a brocade floral dress brushed past Miranda, stepping hard on her foot and twisting it.Then, in an exaggerated manner, she feigned shock and said, “Oh, I’m sorry, Miss Miranda, I didn’t mean to step on you. It was an accident! You won’t blame me, will you?”Her raised eyebrows and eyes were openly provocative, waiting for Miranda to react.Everyone was already paying attention to this side, especially since the woman

At this moment, Miranda suddenly cried out in panic, "Oh no, I'm doomed now!""Now you realize it? Too late!" June sneered."Miss June’s reminder suddenly jogged my memory. Yesterday, the maids in my courtyard were arguing, and I scolded them. I thought it was no big deal at the time, but now I realize it's a great disrespect!" Miranda counted on her fingers, looking distressed. "My courtyard is in the Earl's mansion, which belongs to my father. I should have reported this to my father for him to handle. The mansion is in the capital, which belongs to the kingdom, and the king is our ruler. So my father should report this to the king, who would make the final decision. But I handled it privately... I never intended to overstep my father, let alone disrespect the king... What should I do?"Her eyes filled with tears, she glanced around in panic, looking pitiful and heart-wrenching.Idiot! June scoffed, "Two maids arguing in your courtyard is a trivial matter. You don't need to escalate
Revenge of the Betrayed: The Domineering Duke Falls for Me Chapter 21: Exposing the Truth
In the silence, Miranda felt everyone's gaze on her. One particular stare from the front felt indifferent yet sharp, like a blade.The most important thing now was to resolve the predicament. Biting her lip, Miranda focused on the paper. Writing more was impossible, and arguing with Selena would only make her a joke. Should she write another poem?Miranda shook her head.The first line already had several characters. Creating a new poem about the borderlands on the spot would be too difficult. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she decided to finish the poem.The courtyard was filled with whispers, and Andrew sneered. "Selena wrote the poem, yet Miranda dares to copy it. Isn't that shameless? Her calmness is truly impressive!""Lord Andrew, aren't you jumping to conclusions? I'm sure my poem and Selena's are different." Miranda's clear voice resonated."Beyond the red river’s flow, where silent clouds do drift, A lone fortress stands among the peaks, so stern and stiff. The flute’s mo

Earlier, Miranda publicly, in an instant, endowed the poem with deeper meaning, showcasing her exceptional talent. Everyone was already puzzled as to why Miranda, with such talent, would need to steal Selena's poem.Now, hearing the Duke of Veylar's words, they suddenly realized: this poem was likely originally written by Miranda, but had been claimed by Selena, who then falsely accused Miranda of plagiarism. Such despicable character!The yellow-clad attendant nearby sneered, "Daring to deceive everyone in public! Does she think everyone here is blind? "Miranda suddenly stepped forward, respectfully bowing to Reginald, and gently said, "Please, my lord, forgive her. My sister did not mean to offend. This is merely a word game we often play at home, where we take each other's poems and slightly alter them to create new ones. I suppose my third sister, seeing the pleasant atmosphere today, got carried away."This was clearly an excuse to exonerate Selena.Selena's false accusation had

Amid the lush greenery by an emerald lake, a delicate figure in green stood opposite a man in dark red attire with gold embroidery. His eyes sparkled mischievously as he taunted her, “Miss Quintina, you’re not as beautiful as my maid or as graceful as my butler. How do you expect me to tolerate such torture to my eyes?” His cruel words made her cry, but he remained indifferent, smiling all the while.Angered to tears by his words, the lady in green cried, but the man remained unmoved, watching her with a smile.“Reginald, I’m crying, and you can’t even comfort me?” she complained, stomping her foot. Suddenly, she feigned dizziness, clutching her forehead as she fell toward the man’s arms. Her plan was simple: once in his embrace, she’d cry loudly, attracting attention and creating a scene that would force Reginald to marry her.The man smiled and sidestepped smoothly, giving her a gentle push on the back.With a splash, the woman in green fell into the lake, her scream echoing through

Entering the room, Selena curtsied and said, "Father."Count Croyso was about to speak when he looked up and saw Miranda. Her delicate, refined appearance, reminiscent of Anna, startled him into standing up. "Anna!" he exclaimed, then quickly corrected himself, "Miranda! You… how could you—" He was so shocked he could barely speak."My previous appearance was styled by Mrs. Wilson, but Molly did my makeup and attire for this occasion," Miranda said softly, noting the impact on the Count. Sensing an advantage, she added, "Father, do I look good like this?""You look wonderful, wonderful!" Count Croyso nodded repeatedly, his eyes glistening with tears.The Countess was speechless. She had never imagined Miranda could look so elegantly refined, outshining even Selena and the social darlings. The familiar features rekindled her resentment toward Anna, twisting her expression with hatred.As everyone stared at Miranda in amazement, ignoring her, Selena burst into tears, crying out loudly.T

Count Croyso looked at his wife’s ashamed demeanor and sighed. He said gently, “I know your nature well. This matter doesn’t concern you.” He continued, irritated, “Selena used to be so sweet and lovable. How has she become so insufferable now that I’m back? To the extent of using such despicable means against Miranda?”Miranda interjected softly, “Perhaps someone around her incited this behavior.”Did she aim to remove Selena’s trusted aides? The Countess’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly responded, “What would those servants know? It’s the tutors in the estate who dare to bully even Miss Miranda and Selena. Who knows what example they’ve set? I failed in hiring proper teachers.”Count Croyso's anger flared, “Even I was deceived, let alone you. These despicable individuals have corrupted my daughter. They must not be spared. Have each of them receive twenty lashes and be expelled from the estate. As for the maids in Selena’s quarters, they must also be dealt with harshly!” He

Langley Manor, once the estate of a declining noble family in a remote part of the capital, boasts a broad courtyard planted with clusters of green bamboo and a garden full of blooming flowers.

The Langley couple purchased this manor after making their fortune in early business ventures.Amidst the jade-like bamboo, a graceful figure sat in the garden pavilion, savoring her tea with elegance. Sensing something, she slowly set down her teacup and turned around.At the courtyard entrance stood a serene young girl. Mrs. Langley was momentarily stunned by the familiar face, immediately recognizing the visitor. She nodded, gesturing for the maid who brought the girl in to leave.A glimmer of light flickered in the woman’s eyes, and her voice trembled slightly, “You are… Miranda?” She quickly composed herself, concealing her emotions, “Come, sit down!” She instructed the maid beside h
