The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 81.2
Chapter 81.2
However, she could guess what it was.
“Oh my, her daughter who even gave her funeral flowers…”
“She’s not even her daughter, she’s the child her husband brought from outside.”
They must be uttering those words.
They must be saying that the duchess raised that child, who wasn’t even her own blood, but she kept going astray and causing trouble!
“The duchy will take responsibility and compensate the lady for the damage.”
“Th-there’s no need! I received an apology, so it’s fine.”
“I heard that you almost went blind because of the fake cosmetics Lilika gave you. How is that fine?”
In the end, the noblewoman had no choice but to receive compensation for the damage.
And Duchess Primrose didn’t end it there; she even apologized for causing a ruckus in the social world.
“I am sorry that my daughter caused damage to the entity Her Highness called a benefactor.”
“No, the Duchess didn’t do anything wrong.”
‘Lilika is the one at fault,’ she could hear the words that hadn’t been said.
Judging by the mood of those around them, they seemed to agree.
There would be word going around that the duchess had raised her wrongly, but she had made a great impression by coming forward first and bowing her head.
On top of that, Vivian used that atmosphere well.
“I hope Lady Lilika Primrose sees and feels the Duchess’ love.”
Thanks to this, rather than the Duchess raising her daughter incorrectly, she generously accepted Lilika, an extramarital child, and that child turned out to be wicked and cunning and caused trouble.
Duchess Primrose became the benevolent mother who tried to take the blame for Lilika’s mistakes.
“Lady Lilika Primrose must resemble her biological mother.”
Of course, Crown Prince Enoch did not stand still either.
He came out to another social gathering and indirectly said to the people who were worried about him that Lady Lilika Primrose didn’t see it that way. He said that when he talked to her in person, she just cried and insisted that she was innocent even though there was clear evidence.
And Duke Primrose was busy just trying to correct the situation, even though it was his role as a father to make her admit her wrongdoings.
In that way, Duke Primrose was a human being who had overindulged his daughter while raising her and allowed her to misbehave. And the duchess was someone who tried hard, but it wasn’t easy.
“If it weren’t for Duchess Primrose, I would have really taken legal action.”
It was understandable that Lilika pretended to be weak so that people would feel sympathy for her. People were whispering that her birth hadn’t changed and that everything she showed up until now was just an act.
Lilika’s reputation, which she already thought was in the worst situation, fell even below that.
When they were already saying that Lilika was by no means the angelic lady as she had once been praised, the fact that they were now saying that her actions were a lie was the nail in the coffin.
“… It can’t go on like this.”
She couldn’t fall off the precipice like this.
She just wanted to become a valuable person.
She was just trying to go back to where she originally belonged.
The ladies who were noble by birth appeared in front of Lilika as if teasingly. Then, they stood in front of her in a classy and dignified manner.
As if this was how far she could go.
‘It’s amazing. Duchess Primrose, Lady Primrose.’
The culprits that led to this situation.
‘It’s offensive for a mother like that to have a daughter like that.’
No matter how much she thought about it, she hadn’t done anything wrong.
She just felt it was unfair.
Regardless of whether someone else went blind or whether her status within the family fell… For Lilika, there was nothing more pitiful than herself at this moment.
“Aah, ah…”
The sound of her breathing gradually grew rougher, so that she could hear it in her ears. Or was it her heartbeat?
She hated the ladies who caused this situation. She loathed them.
No, the words hatred or loathing could not explain her current feelings. They were insufficient to express the burning emotion she was feeling.
That didn’t matter.
‘I want you all to disappear from this world.’
At that moment, Lilika felt something wriggle deep inside of her.
A very dark emotion, like something that had burned for a long time and only remains were left.
The tiny feeling that began on the side of her heart quickly encroached on her.
‘Ah.’
But at the same time, she was calm.
Lilika gladly accepted m*rder, disgust, and all kinds of negative emotions inside of her.
After closing her eyes for a long time, she could tell.
Something awoke inside of her.
