The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 79.2

Chapter 79.2

“Why did Yunette make a mistake and is now trying to blame me!”

Seeing that face, it looked really unfair.

I was standing on the side of the parlor and staring at the employees of the Yunette who had come to the duchy when I remembered what Lady Fakira had said.

‘The lady said that she felt strange the day she received the cosmetics from Lilika.’

As they thanked Lilika for giving them the cosmetics…

“Go to Yunette and tell them what we said.”

“Is it difficult to follow the Duchess and meet the representative of Yunette?”

They made several suggestions, but Lilika avoided answering by speaking vaguely.

Well, with that said.

‘The lady also guessed that the duchess wouldn’t give Lilika a bad item just because she didn’t like her…’

No way.

Lilika couldn’t meet my mother.

‘She made the fake cosmetics on her own. That’s why they were spoiled.’

It was clear that it was Lilika’s fault, but more concrete evidence was needed.

As I sat in the office and racked my brain, I thought of one thing.

“What was the date of Lilika’s visit to the boutique?” and “I need to find out what the staff of that boutique did that day and where they went.”

Unsurprisingly, it was revealed that Lilika had received something other than a dress that day.

This secured solid evidence to corner her.

“I should file a lawsuit against Lady Lilika Primrose.”

“Somehow, it was a little strange. When we first met her, she spoke as if her family didn’t accept her, but her attitude suddenly changed.”

That was what the noble ladies said.

“This container is a fake. It’s a masterpiece that a regular craftsman cannot follow.”

All the craftsmen who saw the fake container judged it as fake as well.

And the craftsman who was commissioned by Lilika to make the fake article also admitted that he had done it.

“I was commissioned to make it, but I didn’t expect it to be given as a gift disguised as the original. I heard from the person who ran the errand that a noble lady was upset because she couldn’t get the limited edition and wanted to use it herself.”

However, he avoided responsibility, saying he never thought someone would lie about it and pass it as the real product.

“We just connected with the craftsman and delivered the results as we were told. We had no idea she would do something like this. We didn’t even read the order Lady Lilika wrote or open the items!”

The boutique staff testified in the same way.

The items they received while running the errand for Lilika were seized.

It was undeniable proof.

Soon after hearing about the fake cosmetics, Duke Primrose was flustered.

“Lilika, is this true?”

“…”

“Are you bored of being the duke’s daughter that you’re making fake products? Huh?”

What kind of family disgrace was this?

“Lilika, were you in your right mind to do something like that?”

“That’s…”

“Tell me the truth! What’s wrong with you? This is not like you!”

Jiksen, who sided with her until the end, also raised his voice and said that she was his younger sister.

He said he would protect her no matter what, even showing hostility towards his own mother… Lilika was saddened by the ferocious attitude he was showing.

But what she didn’t like the most was Duchess Primrose.

“I went out these days, so I didn’t know you were doing that… If you had told me, I would have gotten it for you somehow.”

The nuance of the Duchess, who seemed to be saying she would get at least one product, bothered her.

It seemed that she was omitting the afterword that she had gotten fake products because she was incompetent and stupid.

Compared to the two men who poured out their emotions, the Duchess only let out a quiet sigh, but that was what Lilika hated the most.

She hadn’t even met her this whole time, so why was she showing up now?

“Lilika. Did you do something like that because you couldn’t hold back for a while? Hm?”

Even if she tried to feign innocence, she had nowhere to retreat.

In the end, Lilika decided to tell the truth.

Tears welled up in her eyes. It wasn’t difficult; something was boiling inside her because of the current situation.

“I… I just wanted to get close to the ladies.”

“What?”

“I couldn’t meet Mother all this time, and I felt that the duchy and the social world didn’t need me… I couldn’t even tell them that I couldn’t get the cosmetics…”

That was why she made the mistake of making fake cosmetics.

Just as she made it sound like the duchess was being sensitive and that the funeral flowers were a misunderstanding, she blamed the duchess for not meeting her.

“I-It’s all a misunderstanding. I… I never meant to harm Lady Fakira.”
