Marrying My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin Chapter 525
"It's just arranging a guest room. Does it really have to be so complicated?" Isolde asked."There are specific reasons." The man hesitated, then stepped aside to lead the way. "Miss, please follow me."He led Isolde and Bruce upstairs, explaining the layout as they went. "On the second floor, to the left, are Mr. Silas' room, the study, the pharmacy, the council room, and other rooms. To the right are the guest rooms. There are four in total."He continued up without stopping. "The third floor is Lady Aurelia's room. The entire floor belongs to her."'The entire third floor?' Isolde's pace faltered for a second.The man pushed open the door at the top of the stairs and stepped aside. "Miss, please have a look."Isolde walked in. Her view opened up at once.One wall consisted entirely of floor-to-ceiling windows. From there, she could see the whole of Valeciel.Tiers of wooden buildings stretched outward, streets crisscrossed below, and thin curls of kitchen smoke rose in the d

"Why did Isolde leave on her own? Dad, she doesn't even listen to you…" Aurelia muttered, her tone edged with discontent.Silas' expression darkened at once. He had expected Isolde to cling to him, to call him father with tearful eyes. Instead, she had been cold and had ignored him entirely."Dad… is Isolde bothered by my presence? She wants you to send me away, doesn't she…" Aurelia's eyes reddened. "If it would make her happy, I'll leave."The remark struck a nerve.Silas' composure snapped, and his anger surged. "Not a chance. Aurelia, you are the daughter I raised. To me, you are the most precious, the most beloved. We share more than 20 years of father and daughter affection. That bond is stronger than blood. No biological tie can compare. If she stands against you, she is nothing."He lifted his gaze toward the departing snowcrawler. His eyes grew colder by the second as disgust took hold. "So that's her plan. She plays cold to draw my attention and force me to drive you awa

Silas Valeciel's skin was taut, making him look much younger, as if he were only 30.He pressed his lips into a thin line and knit his brows. The displeasure in his expression gave him an air of cold majesty and distance. The way he looked at Isolde also carried a trace of blame and dislike."Dad…" Aurelia looked up at him, her eyes reddening at once. She seemed deeply aggrieved, yet held her words back.Silas' furrowed brow softened into unmistakable heartache.He stepped down from the snowcrawler, took Aurelia's hand, and gently patted the back of it. "My good daughter, you've worked hard saving lives. You will always be the best daughter in my heart. Come, go home with your father. I've had someone prepare your favorite fish."He led Aurelia toward the snowcrawler.Father and daughter sat side by side in the front row.From beginning to end, Silas did not look at Isolde even once, as if she were nothing more than an unimportant stranger.After they got on and waited a few se

Isolde watched Aurelia in silence.At last, she spoke. "Afraid of blood? Which of your eyes saw me afraid? I just think it's dirty."She let out a soft laugh and looked at Aurelia with a playful tilt of her head. "Or are you hoping that I am afraid of blood, Lady Aurelia? In that case, it would make me seem even more unworthy of the position. You would still have a chance at succeeding the family head, wouldn't you?"Aurelia's pupils contracted sharply. She had not expected Isolde to speak so directly. If others believed this, how would they see her?Aurelia quickly arranged her features into an innocent expression. "Young sis… I didn't mean it that way…"Isolde sneered, "If that's not what you meant, then what is with all this 'sister' talk? As the legitimate successor, am I to be reduced to the second heiress? According to the family's ancient rules of succession, the title passes to the eldest daughter."Aurelia's face turned green at once. Although most of the family members

The more Aurelia spoke, the more it fueled the crowd’s indignation.They had not even met Isolde, yet the entire family already harbored resistance and disgust toward her.Even Eleanor, Isolde's biological mother, did not say a word in her defense.Mimi's face turned ashen as she ground her teeth. "Lady Isolde, these people have gone too far. I'll go teach them a lesson…""No need." Isolde withdrew her gaze, her tone flat. "Mimi, take me to see the family head."The family head was the most powerful person in the Valeciels. Her word was law, far outweighing any heated explanation.Mimi looked at Isolde with admiration. "I'll take you."Just as Isolde was about to leave, someone noticed them. "Eh? Who's that next to Mimi? How did outsiders get here?!"The crowd's attention snapped toward them, landing on Isolde and Bruce with the wariness and hostility reserved for intruders."Mimi, according to the family rules, outsiders are not permitted entry. Who are they?"Mimi had inten

Her brow furrowed, her eyes filled with heartache and anxiety. "Aurelia, don't you understand how precious this medicine is? There are only three in all of the family, and the family head gave this to you to save your life in a critical moment."It's equivalent to a second life. This child is certainly pitiable, but your safety matters more than anything else. Sweetie, listen to your mother. Don't make me worry about you, all right?"Aurelia smiled gently, acting like a spoiled child before the beautiful woman. "Mother… Don't worry. I've always stayed by your side, and I won't face any life-threatening danger. This medicine isn't really necessary."Besides, if I don't save this child, I may be too upset to sleep tonight. Wouldn't that worry and break your heart?"The beautiful woman knit her brows. "But—""Mother, you understand me best. Don't stop me, okay? I promise I'll stay by your side, healthy and safe, for the rest of my life."Faced with Aurelia's pleading, the woman's lo

"It's Bruce!" Sandra looked heartbroken and furious. "I checked. It was Bruce who sent people. He hates you. He couldn't take the Princetons' inheritance, so he wanted you to lose your mother just like him…"Alan's fingers clenched until his knuckles whitened. His eyes burned red, flooded with grie

"Murder! Sandra, you killed someone! I'm calling the police, calling the police!" Maxime fumbled for his phone and started to dial.'Call the police?' The words struck Sandra like a thunderclap and snapped her awake. 'No. He can't call the police!'After coming this far, she could not go to jail.

Alan had been waiting a long time. When he saw Cheron wheeled out, the final trace of uncertainty in his heart vanished.He strode to Bruce's wheelchair with the confidence of a victor, bent slightly, and spoke in a voice meant only for them."I heard you tried to play the pity card, hoping your t

Sandra's face drained of color. "No! Mom, this is fake. Isolde forged it. She's framing me."She shook her head in frantic denial, but her mind spiraled into chaos. She had torn every paternity test to shreds without reading a single line. So why had Maxime managed to piece those scraps back togeth
