Panicking at Her True Colors
A fake heiress exposes her real identity so that I can be found—all because she wants me to marry the crippled man who's supposed to be her husband.
She puts on an act before the whole family, wanting to drive a wedge between us. She has no idea we can all hear her thoughts.
When she slashes her palm and frames me for it, she's cursing in her heart. "Hit her, you worthless man!"
When she falls down the stairs and blames me for it, she's thinking, "Teach her a lesson, you silly old woman!"
When she buries herself in my brother's arms and acts aggrieved, she's actually thinking, "He's such a loyal dog."
My father, mother, and brother are stunned by what they hear. Then, they're infuriated.
I merely laugh and turn away, acting like I don't see anything. I just want to complete this special mission as soon as possible.
