Revenge of the Betrayed: The Domineering Duke Falls for Me Chapter 321: So It Was You
Reginald stepped forward at an unhurried pace, positioning himself squarely between Miranda and Gavin, blocking the latter’s view of her. A faint, careless smile played at the corners of his lips as he spoke in a voice as smooth as silk:“Who I am is of no consequence. What matters is that she is not someone you can lay claim to. She will never be your betrothed—much less your wife. You’d do well to abandon that foolish dream before it humiliates you.”Gavin’s eyes burned with sharp curiosity as he assessed the man who had appeared out of nowhere. Then he said, calmly but with challenge in his tone, “Words are wind. Let your hands speak for you.”With a sudden burst of movement, Gavin leapt forward like a hawk diving from the sky. His hand swept into a palm strike mid-air, his voice ringing out: “If I’m to be accused of wishful thinking, then prove to me you’ve earned the right to say so!”His attack came fast and precise, the air whistling in its wake.“Child’s play,” Reginald replie

To her surprise, this man—who appeared so wild and unrestrained—had orchestrated such a precise scheme. His planning was meticulous, and his observations frighteningly sharp. Clearly, appearances could be deceiving.Miranda grew inwardly more cautious.“Of course,” Gavin continued, his voice calm but deliberate, “the reason I dared to test things so boldly is simple: even if I had the wrong person, it wouldn’t matter. I’d just keep looking. But your reaction told me—I wasn’t wrong. A carefully designed trap, meant to go unnoticed, only to be recognized at a glance—wouldn’t that surprise anyone? Wouldn’t anyone in my position want to hear the full story, Miss Miranda? Tell me I’m wrong.”He said it with conviction, watching the flicker in her eyes. Her composure froze for just a heartbeat, and Gavin let out a hearty laugh.“There’s no need to be so startled,” he added with amusement. “You may not have revealed your face that day, but your voice—it was clear, young, and calm. And your f

Miranda instinctively took a step back as the stranger moved to block her path, her gaze sharpening with visible anger.Seeing her reaction, the hawk-eyed man suddenly struck his forehead, as if remembering something. “Ah, of course. I’ve gone on and on, and you still don’t know who I am—no wonder you're so wary,” he said with a flash of amusement. “My name is Gavin, of Jasendale. My father is Steven, the very man who was accused of conspiring to arrange a marriage between us in pursuit of your family’s wealth—only to break the engagement in disgrace.”His smile widened, audacious and unrepentant. “I heard some strange rumors from the capital—someone pretending to be my father, and a certain ‘Miss Jenny’ claiming to be my betrothed. So I thought I’d come see for myself… what kind of woman my supposed fiancée might be.”Jasendale. Gavin, son of Steven.Miranda’s heart gave a sudden jolt. She quickly realized that nearly two months had passed since Elder Fitzroy’s envoys were dispatched

After finally making their way out of the dense crowd, the four of them breathed a collective sigh of relief and began strolling leisurely down the lantern-lit avenue.Miranda, having quietly observed Andrian throughout the evening, found herself rather pleased with what she saw. He seemed sincere, well-mannered, and carried himself with the quiet confidence of a man raised among books. More importantly, he and Wensley appeared to get on well. She could already imagine a peaceful, affectionate marriage for the two of them—something she sincerely hoped for Wensley’s future.As they walked, Miranda noticed that Andrian and Wensley had fallen into an animated discussion about poetry. Though Wensley was not especially well-read in that area, she listened attentively, while Andrian spoke with a gentle enthusiasm that made even dry verse come alive. Their easy rapport made Miranda smile.She gradually slowed her pace, letting the pair drift slightly ahead so as not to intrude on their conve

At that moment, nearly everyone gathered around the riddle booth had already taken a turn trying to solve the puzzle behind the gem-encrusted hair clips, yet no one had succeeded. The host, standing behind the stand, glanced around the crowd and called out in a clear, cheerful voice:“Any fine ladies or gentlemen who haven’t yet tried their luck? These exquisite hair clips are still seeking the one who can uncover their secret! If you guess right, they’re yours to keep!”His eyes suddenly lit up as he spotted Wensley and Miranda lingering near the edge of the gathering ground. “You two young ladies haven’t tried, have you? Care to give it a go?”Wensley had come only out of curiosity, but now her interest was piqued. She leaned toward Miranda and whispered, “Shall we give it a try?”“Why not?” Miranda replied with a curious smile. “I’m dying to know what kind of mystery lies behind those hair clips.”The two stepped forward, and Wensley went first. She picked up the hair clips careful

Reginald’s growing irritation was getting harder to hide. He very nearly decided to make a nuisance of himself—perhaps by giving Wensley and that annoyingly well-timed gentleman in the blue coat a little “lesson.” He was just beginning to muster a smile that always meant trouble, when he caught Miranda’s eye. One raised brow, a barely-there shake of the head—classic Miranda for don’t even think about it.With a put-upon sigh worthy of the stage, Reginald abandoned his plan for petty vengeance and settled into the role of the wounded nobleman, dramatically brooding in silence.Miranda took one look at his theatrically sulky expression and nearly laughed. Instead, she turned back to the riddle contest, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.The gem-encrusted hair clip displayed on the platform was dazzling, naturally attracting much attention. A stream of hopeful contestants came and went, each trying their luck at guessing the riddle, but the host only shook his head time and agai
