Chapter 65 *** Sponsored by LC. Thank you ❤️ (3/3) *** Back at the mansion, thankfully, not much was said. The couple, who had been in a cold war for days since Emily's breakup, were in their respective bedrooms, with only Trin pacing the foyer, waiting for Aubrey. "I ran into the Count by accident and had a long meeting, that's all." Aubrey set the returned pocketbook down on the desk. For a moment, she thought she heard the man's voice. The words, the promise that everything would be...

Chapter 64 *** Sponsored by LC. Thank you ❤️ (⅔) *** Annie returned to the room to find Aubrey gone, as if she had evaporated. She wondered if she'd already gone looking for what she'd lost. "Master, I don't see her......." Annie froze, unable to scream. Walking out of the bathroom, Khaled's white shirt was stained with red blood, and in his arms was a woman with hair redder than blood. He laid her down on the bed, limp and injured. Then he snatched the piece of glass from her hand and...

Chapter 63 *** Sponsored by LC. Thank you ❤️ (⅓) *** The Square was deserted. It was strangely empty, considering it was early in the morning. Not even the usual newspaper delivery man, who should be busy by now, was in sight. But Aubrey didn't think anything of it as she stared at the quiet place. She just sat there like a stunned person. She tried her best not to think. It was the only way to get through this last hour. "What's the use of such a rigid body?” Copen's words came back to...

Chapter 62 *** Sponsored by Virginie. Thank you ❤️ (2/2) *** Barging into the bathroom, Emily ran her eyes up and down Aubrey's soaking wet naked body, then picked up a towel with a lazy gesture. "You looking for this?" "...." "Or this?" She picked up the towel and the garment, dropping them one by one to the floor. Aubrey stood in an awkward, cross-legged position with her arms covering her chest. "I'm sorry, can you close the door? I was taking a bath." Aubrey said in a broken voice. The...

Chapter 61 *** Sponsored by Virginie. Thank you ❤️ (½) *** When Aubrey woke up and came down to the first floor, Annie greeted her with a smile as if she'd been waiting for her. "The master left first. The carriage is ready for you." Annie smiled and waved her off, as if she had no idea what had happened upstairs. As Aubrey left the townhouse, the pounding rain assaulted her ears. Climbing into the carriage, Aubrey stared out at the ink-colored square. Every now and then, she saw a...

Chapter 60 **** Sponsored by Virginie. Thank you ❤️ (5/5) **** Such an innocent child. Trin had a reputation for being a terrible liar, even among the weaker maids. As if that weren't bad enough, she was already blinking excessively. "Trin?" "Yes, yes. My lady." "Answer me." Emily smiled sweetly, as if to tease Trin. "Come, come, sit down." It was too much kindness for Emily, but nevertheless, Trin stood there like a nail. "Come sit down." Emily’s voice grew a little stronger, and Trin...

Chapter 59 *** Sponsored by Virginie. Thank you ❤️ (4/5) *** The face she had forgotten was not a welcome one. When Lehman came by unexpectedly, begging her pardon and telling her she had to go to the townhouse, Aubrey felt another sense of indebtedness: she knew the man had done something, and she owed him something, for he was not a man who moved without a price. Work on the townhouse had paused. Workers were packing up their gear and leaving the townhouse, as if for today. Aubrey walked...

Chapter 58 *** Sponsored by Virginie. Thank you ❤️ (3/5) *** Late evening. Khaled found an inn in the outskirts of the capital city. It was a shabby, light pink house, and his invited guest was staying on the second floor. When he arrived at the door, he knocked. "It's the Count of Lavonne." The guest was a little slow. No, she was a little too slow. It took her a while to open the door. It wasn't until Khaled let out an irritated sigh that the door slid open. "Ah, hello, Count." A fairly...

Chapter 57 *** Sponsored by Virginie. Thank you ❤️ (2/5) *** On the table was a sheaf of papers with a torn corner. When he told her to leave the notebook behind so he could review the new scenario and send her a response, she hesitantly tore it out. "Well, I'll go first.” Colorlessly, the woman said goodbye with such a face and walked out. As he'd guessed, she'd reached out to him, but her face was the most lifeless he'd ever seen. It was the opposite of the harmless laugh he still...

Chapter 56 *** Sponsored by Virginie. Thank you ❤️ (⅕) **** Late at night. Aubrey carefully picked up her lamp and left the room. The news of Khaled's departure hadn't given her peace of mind. She stopped the maid as she was tidying up the couple's bedroom and asked. "Is my aunt sleeping, and has my uncle returned yet?" "Yes, Miss. The lady has just gone to bed and the master has not yet returned home." "Thank you." She opened the unlocked door and saw Barbara lying there with a white...
