“Emily, I didn’t have a problem with you, but you haven’t even married into the Duke’s residence yet, yet you still dare to harm me and send people to kill me! If you become the Duchess of the Duke’s residence, what worse are you going to do to me?”
“No! No! I didn’t harm you! I didn’t send people to kill you! I don’t even have the money to hire any mercenaries! You’ve misunderstood! You’re falsely accusing me! I didn’t do anything!” Emily shouted at the top of her lungs. She looked as if she had really been wronged.
Nangong Nuannuan sneered. “Emily, it’s said that what goes around, comes around. Your stepmother mistreated you, and now it seems like you deserved that mistreatment. Or perhaps your stepmother treated you badly because you bullied her daughters, so she wanted to retaliate. Maybe that’s why!
“Or maybe your stepmother didn’t abuse you at all, and you just said that to ruin her reputation. You wanted people to think that you were a beautiful and pitiful Cinderella, so they’d pity you and hate your stepmother.”
“No, I didn’t do any of that! I didn’t hurt you! And I never slandered and ruined my stepmother’s reputation!”
“I’m not interested in whether you lied about your stepmother or not. I just know that you definitely sent some people to harm me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Nangong Nuannuan’s slender fingers gently tapped on the screen. Something new popped up.
The first screen showed Duke Eton giving Charles a mission, telling him that Nangong Nuannuan was returning to Luntan the next day. Duke Eton told Charles the time that the plane was going to take off. As Charles listened, he asked if Duke Eton wanted him to drive the limited edition Ferrari that he had bought for Nuannuan. Duke Eton shook his head and said that Nangong Nuannuan would be bringing her fiance and three friends, so the extended Phantom would be better.
While the two of them spoke, another video played of Emily. It had been recorded from a secret camera. She was leaning against the wall and listening intently to their conversation.
When she heard Duke Eton tell Charles to drive the extended Phantom, the corner of Emily’s lips curled up into a sinister smile.
When Duke Eton saw this, there was no more room for doubt. He could only blame himself for not being able to tell who this woman truly was. She was so different from what he imagined her to be. He had never expected a woman who had only lived in his residence for a few months to have the guts to try to hurt his dear daughter.
Duke Eton was furious. He raised his hand and slapped Emily’s face, knocking her expression of horror off it. Her face was crooked.
“B*tch!”
Duke Eton rarely lost his temper, but this woman was simply too vicious and infuriating.
Even though Emily knew that more evidence of her crimes was probably awaiting her, she still held onto a glimmer of hope. She instinctively defended herself. “Mr. Duke, it’s not like that! I only smiled for a moment. I-I was so happy to hear about Sunny coming back! Didn’t you say that as long as Miss Sunny approved of me, I could stay with you forever? So why would I want to kill Miss Sunny?”
Duke Eton felt that this woman was extremely disgusting. He angrily said, “How would I know why you wanted to kill Sunny, someone you had never even met before?! You vicious woman! You’re not Cinderella, you’re the dirtiest and most vicious bug in the basement sewer!”
