"The child has gone mad!"The third lady sighed and said, "That's right, Felicia. Previously, your father punished you because you made a mistake. How could you hold such resentment and curse someone like this? How could a young girl create such a situation?"Suddenly, Felicia became extremely frightened and exclaimed, "Father, it's not me! It's not me!"Jadeite immediately rushed forward and knelt before Beta Henry, realizing the gravity of the situation. "Father, my sister certainly wouldn't do such a thing. She's kind-hearted and gentle, the most favored daughter. Do you think she would do this?"Beta Henry stared fixedly at Felicia's face, still as beautiful and delicate as before. She was captivating, a presence that couldn't be ignored – but he couldn't understand why; the more he looked, the more he felt fear and dread. Could the child, motivated by jealousy over Emma's favor, harm her? Could she steal ideas from others to gain fame, even resort to the gruesome act of consuming
The depths of the senior lady's heart sighed as she spoke, "Felicia, your father only wishes for you to live through each day. There's no need for further explanations. Where is she? Help the First Miss pack her belongings!"Luna Sandra's face grew cold, and suddenly she stood up from the ground and said, "Madam, you should let me bid farewell to the young miss."The senior lady looked at her, her brows slightly furrowed."Alright," Beta Henry responded to Luna Sandra's urgent plea, pondered for a moment, and then instructed the person beside him, "Those responsible for today's investigation, except for those we can trust, they all—"Emma overheard from a distance, her gaze lowering. Beta Henry intended to eliminate those servants who knew too much. But the people in this room were all the heads of the Seldom family. Who would be willing to risk their wealth and transmit information outside? However, the maids might be different. At any time, they might betray their masters. Even Dr.
This Valentine's Day, isn't it too sensitive? She was exposed to the point where she didn't know how to respond."I'm sorry, I am truly foolish..." Draco lowered his head and said. He shouldn't have said these words, which might put the Third Madam in a bad mood.Emma smiled, gripping his hand tighter. "No, it's not because we're on the same boat that I said these things to you. It's the opposite. I like you, Draco. That's why I don't want you to get hurt."Draco looked up, "So, am I being too weak, causing trouble for you?"Emma paused for a moment, shaking her head. "No."Draco's dark eyes couldn't see their depths. "At this point, does the Third Madam still want to console me?""Everything I've said is true." Emma looked at him intently, speaking seriously, "You're a smart young man, and you'll become even smarter than me. You'll become a support for the Third Madam and me. Since I don't have a younger brother, you're like my flesh and blood." Here, Emma paused and chuckled.The co
Emma looked on, feeling sorry for the Third Madam. The Third Madam wanted to step down from her position, but the other party didn't believe her intentions. They tried to take over to feel at ease personally. Most people probably couldn't explain it, but Emma understood. Luna Sandra was that kind of person—never letting anyone slip from her grasp.The Third Madam chuckled, but suddenly, a lump was in her throat. She couldn't help but start coughing. Emma gently patted her back, and Draco quickly came over.A maid brought a copper basin over, and the coughing finally subsided after a while."I thought I might live a few more years," the Third Madam spoke between breaths, "But now, it seems there aren't many days left..."In her previous life, the Third Madam passed away after Draco went through an unexpected incident. Draco had been saved, but the Third Madam had unintentionally contracted an illness. Could nothing change? Emma held the Third Madam's hand tightly, wearing a comforting
Draco's voice choked up, and his head lowered onto his arm. He sounded hoarse and distressed, but for the first time in his voice, Emma didn't hear vulnerability and weakness. Instead, there was a clear and icy resentment: "Half a month ago, on the way back from praying to Buddha, my mother saved a young woman. She gave her food and water, and the woman was grateful to my mother. But later, my mother discovered that the woman came from an epidemic-stricken area. At first, we didn't think much of it, but I remembered that event when my mother fell ill. Something didn't seem right. That path is a route the palace women take to go up the mountain to pray to Buddha. Even though the common people are fleeing, they don't go up the lonely mountain; they go to the bustling town. Why did she go up the remote mountain? On the way, we encountered numerous carriages, but she kept silent. Why did she suddenly fall in front of my mother's carriage? She only gave us water and food, so why did she wa
Luna Sandra quickly realized that this young child had thoroughly exposed her actions. She smirked coldly, turned her head away without paying attention, and continued to pretend to wipe her tears with a fake show of emotion. While she feigned indifference outwardly, her heart pounded rapidly, making her uncomfortable. How could her perfectly orchestrated plan be discovered by a mere child? This was genuinely troublesome!At this point, the people outside had begun to worry, and the news of the Third Madam's passing had surprised many.When the Third Madam was alive, she had preferred simplicity, and even her funeral arrangements had been modest, avoiding excessive extravagance. As a result, the mourning period was not long. However, considering her status, dignitaries and aristocrats from the capital city came to pay their respects. Luna Sandra took charge of the mourning arrangements, making everything appear organized and tidy. Everyone praised her for her kindness, generosity, and
Draco looked at the peach and lowered his head, a glint of light passing through his eyes before disappearing without a trace.He had learned from his mother that he had to endure it no matter what happened. Only then could he continue staying in the Seldom family.He picked up the smashed peach from the ground, and a cold smile appeared on Draco's lips. He seemed not to notice the dirt on the peach, wiping it with his hand and taking a bite.Everyone was shocked, including the Third Prince, Alpha Jeffn. He squinted his eyes again, wondering if this young boy was too young to realize he was being humiliated or if he was capable of enduring things that ordinary people couldn't."Tasty?" Ethan, after his initial surprise, broke into a satisfied smile and asked in a loud voice."Delicious. Thank you, Second Young Master." Draco's long hair obscured his sparkling eyes, and he quickly lifted his head, revealing a gentle smile.The sun illuminated his slender figure, tall and thin.Some gas
Alpha Jeffn stopped laughing and regained his seriousness. He said, "That's enough. Lady, please take your leave."Emma's brows furrowed deeply in response, and emotions flickered in her black and white eyes as if... it was a hint of sorrow.Emma was feeling sorrow because of her. A sudden realization struck Draco's heart. He was flooded with resentment and anger that subsided as quickly as it came.Emma spoke softly, "Draco, let's go."Felicia's eyes turned icy, and she suddenly exchanged a subtle glance with Lyly. Lyly immediately understood, stepped forward, and gently pushed Ethan.Then, Ethan accidentally stepped on Draco's robe.Emma suddenly turned her head and witnessed this scene.Noble families always knew how to maintain their dignity, especially before noblewomen. They usually behaved very elegantly and courteously. However, there were people like Ethan who were both despicable and of low status. Emma finally understood why Beta Jaylen didn't like this son of his. This guy
