I Picked Up the Trash Others Threw Away - Chapter 10.1
Chapter 10.1
“Audrey Delphonie!”
Worried that Baron Delphonie would chase me, I quickly entered my room and locked the door.
Unsurprisingly, the baron banged on the door, but I ignored it and even brought a chair and put it in front of the door so that it wouldn’t open easily.
Sarah, who had been trapped in my room thanks to this, muttered a tearful face, “I was trying to live quietly in the mansion just doing my job.”
“Life isn’t that easy.”
“It’s all because of you, Young Lady.”
“What did I do? I was just telling the truth.”
Now that this has happened, I had to leave this house as soon as possible.
I couldn’t wait forever for rumors about my relationship with Trish to spread.
It was clear that Baron Delphonie would somehow try to marry me and Viscount Lowell as soon as possible. Although the main reason would be that I offended him.
“I should send a letter to the Malekiah family.”
I quickly grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down a letter for Trish.
It was actually more like a reminder to announce the wedding news quickly because I thought I was ready.
For some reason, it was better to just get it over with than to continue having meetings that none of us wanted under all kinds of excuses.
Wouldn’t Trish think so too?
“Sarah, do me one more favor.”
“You want me to deliver the letter?”
“Because it’s urgent. Eat something delicious on your way back.”
As soon as I gave her some extra money along with the letter, Sarah’s face blossomed as if she had never blamed me.
“I’ll be back, Young Lady.”
“Yes, be careful.”
After Sarah left, I took out the dress and shoes from the boutique and checked them again.
The dress looked strangely smaller than when I tried it on at the boutique yesterday, perhaps because Trish requested a smaller size.
“I think I can tighten the corset a little more…”
I would be a little short of breath, but probably not to the point of not being able to speak. Even so, I couldn’t help but hate Trish.
Still, the shiny dress and shoes in my shabby wardrobe made me feel better.
Confidence comes from a generous bank account balance. Armed with this dress, a real asset, I would completely end a scam marriage.

…But things didn’t always go as expected.
“Young Lady… I said I came from the Delphonie barony, but they said they didn’t know anyone from this family. Are you sure you’re dating Count Malekiah’s second son?”
Whatever the reason, Sarah returned home late in the evening and handed the letter back to me with a sullen face.
I asked her to deliver the letter to Trish, the second son, but the family’s attendant refused it, saying he couldn’t accept a letter from someone he didn’t know.
“That’s impossible. Did you say it was from Audrey Delphonie?”
“Of course. I even said that you were dating Sir Trish, but the attendant looked at me with a pitiful face. And he even said this. ‘I don’t know which family the lady you serve is from, but she has fooled someone again. How many times is this?'”
Because Trish had been going around poking this woman and that woman, it seemed that even the family’s attendants regarded his behavior as disgusting.
No, in any case, they wouldn’t treat me like they didn’t know me, right?
“What about Sir Trish? Was he in the mansion?”
“I also asked. The attendant said he went out early in the morning. He also said not to ask when he would be back.”
“Ha… haha!”
He gladly gave me a dress, and he sincerely agreed to the contract marriage, but what? Was he ignoring me? Was he pretending he didn’t know me?
“Is he going to betray me like this…”
I definitely warned him that if he betrayed me, he would regret it.
When I heard the story from Sarah, I first tried to be generous and understand Trish’s motives.
Yeah, he might not have told his family yet because he wasn’t ready.
Who would share the name of the woman they met with their family members one by one?
Treating me as a stranger and not receiving the letter?
Since he had been jumping from woman to woman, the attendant might have refused because he was afraid of getting a letter of warning.
I was sorry that I had caused Sarah to suffer in vain. I should have gone there myself.
As I headed to the gambling hall where I first met Trish thinking so, I had to hear the mocking sympathy of the regular gamblers.
