The fourth stepmother smiled and said, "There are only two rooms left, one facing North and the other South. Duchess, you go ahead and choose."Emma glanced at the ninth stepmother, who remained silent and serene. Emma spoke comfortably, "Both of you can choose, and I'll take the remaining room." She turned to the maids and said, "Luther, wait for the stepmothers to choose, then go and tidy up the rooms. Qri, come with me for a walk around."Emma led Qri out of the temple, away from the bustling scene. Qri expressed her discontent, "Miss, the best rooms have already been taken by them!"Emma chuckled, "All the rooms are the same, and there's no need to worry about such trivial details."Until now, she hadn't realized the purpose of Luna Sandra's visit to the temple for prayers. Therefore, she had no intention of sharing these thoughts with those narrow-minded individuals.Emma absentmindedly removed her veil. She wasn't as beautifully made up as the others; she had applied light makeup
Felicia was as beautiful as the moon, her charm overwhelming everyone. However, in Alpha Jeffn's heart, someone else was always occupying his thoughts. This person's appearance was not as impressive as his elder sister's, and their temperament was as ruthless as a wolf. Their demeanor exuded confidence and arrogance, performing deception as casually as sipping tea. In his daily life, Alpha Jeffn maintained a degree of restraint, but this person could easily disturb his inner peace.If Emma resembled her past life, she would have considered Alpha Jeffn of paramount importance, allowing him to dictate her life. However, the current Alpha Jeffn might not have glanced at her more than once. Now, Emma consistently confronted him and even went to help others, which inadvertently caught his attention. There was an underlying sense of abnormality, a hint that no one knew which direction their destinies would take.Yet, why was Emma accompanying Edward? Alpha Jeffn couldn't help himself; his fi
In Felicia's eyes, there seemed to be a burning fire. She couldn't decipher the meaning behind that faint smile, but it made her once proud and majestic countenance appear exceedingly strange, as if carrying a demon's breath.As the fire raged more vigorously, the deafening sounds grew louder. The roof collapsed, dust and debris filled the air, and countless sparks flew. The light of the fire shone down, illuminating the pale faces of Qri and Luther, who were overwhelmed by fear.Felicia could barely control her desire to cheer, realizing that she would never have to see Emma's detestable face again nor be infuriated by that troublesome person!Suddenly, from within the sea of flames, Carol emerged, her entire body engulfed in fire as she carried Emma and rushed out.Everyone was shocked. One of the maids shouted, "Third Miss! Third Miss is out!"Saving one person's life was more valuable than building seven towers. The pastors rushed forward to help, splashing water on Carol. Triệu Ng
Emma laughed, "What's impossible? In the Seldom family, the fourth stepmother, the sixth stepmother, and even Omega Lanka weren't favored. They could peacefully live by not posing a threat to Luna Sandra or using various schemes. Why didn't the stepmothers ask where the first stepmother, the second stepmother, the third stepmother, and the eighth stepmother had gone? I don't mind telling you. The first stepmother was a maid on Luna Sandra's side. She committed numerous malicious deeds against her. But the fate of the first stepmother wasn't good. Luna Sandra mentioned that she was carrying a boy in her womb, so she didn't live for more than three years! Reflect on this, stepmother. You have a weakness that Luna Sandra knows of. She'll use you until she's done, and then what will happen to you?"The ninth stepmother stammered in horror, terrified, "I... I don't..."Emma waved her hand, and suddenly, a young woman appeared on the beam above. Her face was cold like frost as she held a sle
"Dear husband, I, your humble wife, come from a humble background. You already know this. In the beginning, I sang in a small street stall, but I couldn't avoid being gossiped about. Luna Sandra even said that I had an affair with a martial artist and forced him to torture me severely, coercing me into confessing. Although I come from a lower class, I am still pure-hearted. How could I admit to something I didn't do? I had no choice but to desperately plead with the mistress for a chance at life. She gave me an opportunity on the condition that I leave promptly. But before I left, I had to help Luna Sandra fabricate a false accusation against the third miss. I know the third miss and the mistress have always had their differences..."The revelation left Beta Henry in utter disbelief, his expression impossible to fathom.The ninth stepmother clung to the hem of his clothes, speaking with a touch of grievance, "I have won your favor, dear husband. Naturally, the mistress couldn't let me
Luna Sandra took a sharp breath of cold air. Her whole body tensed as she turned her head. Indeed, she saw two faint apparitions moving closer from a distance. Were they really outside her mansion? "Quickly, quickly, go and see! Go right now!" Luna Sandra panicked, raising her voice as she gave orders.Indeed, some daring nannies held black lanterns and approached, but as they came where the apparitions were supposed to be, they only saw a dry patch of grass without any sign of ghostly figures.Suddenly, Luna Sandra heard distant, piercing screams. She looked in that direction and saw apparitions swirling around a nearby hallway. She immediately shouted, "Over there! Over there!"People rushed over, but there was nothing to be seen when they arrived. They were either suspicious or confused when Luna Sandra pointed out another location with apparitions.Luna Sandra had thought that someone was spreading rumors, but she saw it with her own eyes tonight. She was already ill, so seeing thi
Joie's nanny was frightened, and Jadeite hurriedly supported her, loudly calling for the doctor. Luckily, the doctor entered the room with a medicine case and, upon seeing the situation, rushed over to examine Luna Sandra's pulse. Afterward, his expression turned extremely grave. Jadeite asked anxiously, "Doctor, is my mother alright?"The doctor's face was hard to read. "This situation..."Jadeite interjected, "Don't beat around the bush!"The doctor explained, "Madam originally had a common cold, but it worsened due to excessive anger. The blood vomit earlier was caused by pent-up frustration. I've observed her pulse; her body is weak, with a fragile heart pulse. If not treated properly, I'm afraid..."Jadeite's expression changed. Up until now, Luna Sandra had been in good health. How could her condition deteriorate to the point of having such a weak heart pulse?"First, I'll prescribe heart-strengthening medicine for her to take. She must avoid excessive worry and stress. If not,
From start to finish, she had no intention of saying anything more.But now, a young nobleman wearing a gem-studded belt appeared before her. He was dressed in the finest materials, with minimal ornamentation compared to the flashy wealthy people from earlier. Nevertheless, he exuded a radiant presence, like a glowing gem amidst the crowd.This person was indeed the seventh prince, Edward. He had been roped into accompanying the Ninth Princess on a lantern stroll, unexpectedly encountering Emma here. Along the way, countless people came and went, many as beautiful as flowers and gems, but only this person's figure was exceptionally dazzling. Upon closer examination, although her figure was attractive, nothing particularly eye-catching could be recognized in the crowd. Why did she find Emma so captivating? This was a question even Edward couldn't answer himself.The two unexpectedly met, and Edward smiled as if nothing had happened. "Duchess, what a coincidence."Emma smiled, her expre
