Lahat ng Kabanata ng Substitute Queen's Revenge: Kabanata 281 - Kabanata 290

Inside Tyrian Palace, the king shattered a tall, sturdy screen into pieces with a single blow of his hand.Steven stood outside the cedarwood door, not daring to enter. He had no idea what had caused George's fury. He had heard that Wendy was pregnant. Wasn't that supposed to be good news?But seeing George's reaction, he couldn't help but wonder–could it be that Wendy's child didn't belong to George? He couldn't think of any other reason George would be so angry.-At Nimble Palace, Wilhelmina dropped what she was holding to the floor. Her face was full of shock and sorrow."Is Queen Wendy pregnant?"Mia hurriedly nodded. "Yes, Your Highness. The entire palace knows about it by now."Wilhelmina almost bit her lip in frustration."So soon. How could it happen so soon? I thought King George never spent another night with her again!""No one dares to discuss this, but I think it must have happened at the royal ancestral temple," Mia said."Enough!" Wilhelmina's jealousy lit a f

Jane retrieved a letter.Rachel's gaze followed it closely."See for yourself," Jane said coldly.Rachel stepped forward cautiously and opened the letter. Inside were indeed pieces of evidence incriminating her father.Her mind was in turmoil, but she forced herself to stay calm. She carefully put the letter back where it was and returned to her seat. Her thoughts were all over the place.This letter could have been forged. But she had already made one mistake, one that had cost her brother his life. She couldn't just stand by and let something happen to her father.Rachel was about to speak when she suddenly saw the queen place the letter over the oil lamp. As the flame caught the corner of the paper, it quickly spread, reducing the letter to ashes.Rachel was stunned. Without thinking, she shot to her feet."Your Majesty!"She couldn't understand what the queen was trying to do.Jane watched the letter burn to nothing, then cast a calm glance at her. "I won't hide it from y

Jocelyn's gaze at Jane was filled with vengeance."I have no regrets about doing this," she said coldly. "Haven't you taken enough from me since we were young? When I fainted from hunger at the Morris family's estate, with my obedient and well-mannered nature, I could have surely stayed there and been adopted as their daughter. "But no, Jane, you had to interfere! You made them take me in as a disciple instead! In the end, you became their adoptive daughter! That title–the Morris family's eldest daughter–was rightfully mine, and you stole it! "We were both abandoned by our birth parents, and we both ended up in the Morris family, but you just had to be above me!"Jane was stunned. Had Jocelyn hated her since then? Disappointment chilled her to the bone.Jocelyn actually thought that if Jane hadn't interfered, she would have been able to stay with the Morris family. She had no idea. Without Jane's interference, she wouldn't even have had the chance to become their disciple.For

All was harmonious in the palace hall during the New Year's Eve Banquet.For the time being, the concubines set aside their usual rivalries, laughing and chatting as they made wishes for the coming year. It was a lively occasion. Only the queen's seat remained vacant the entire time.George glanced at that empty seat multiple times.Dina noticed and asked, "The queen isn't feeling well. Should we summon a physician to check on her?"Rachel rose to her feet. "Lady Dina, I stepped out earlier to check on Her Majesty. She was exhausted and had already fallen asleep."Rachel had always been kind and meticulous. It wasn't surprising that she had thought of visiting the queen. No one suspected anything.Dina smiled kindly."Pregnant women do tend to be drowsy. George, you should take good care of her."George's gaze turned ice-cold. He lifted a cup of wine and drained it in one go.Everyone assumed he had ignored Dina's words. But as soon as he set his cup down, he stood up."Grand

George sat upright, his robe loosely draped over him. It exposed his toned waist and abdomen that were still marked by the scratches she had left the night before.He gripped Jane's chin, turning her face toward him. His gaze, once predatory, had softened into something almost tender, an emotion Jane had never seen before."Last night–"Jane's gaze remained calm. "I was drunk. If I offended you, please forgive me. This won't happen again."His brows furrowed, and whatever warmth had been in his expression vanished instantly."You promised last night that you would conceive an heir as soon as possible. Is once truly enough?"Jane frowned. How could she have agreed to such an absurd thing?"The words of a drunkard cannot be taken seriously," she said.Upon hearing this, a chill settled in George's eyes."So, because you were drunk, it didn't count? Wendy, you were the one who initiated it last night. You held onto me and begged me to take you! Did none of that count either?"Hi
