Power of Obliviousness のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

The man froze. His face was hidden in shadow, so I could not make out his expression. However, I could see that his bright eyes were staring straight at me, as if trying to study my face.Theodore Jensen knew his reputation preceded him. Violent, ruthless, unpredictable, a man who slaughtered without batting an eye...Naturally, all of it was true.As for the last person who had seen him handle something personally, he had already been sent to the Southern Isles. Whether he was still alive was another question, but he was definitely missing a few organs.It was possible for me to be acting out of fear.In that case, he did not mind playing along.He pointed at the door behind him. "The door isn't locked. You can leave."Of course, he was lying to me.If I turned and left, it would prove everything I had done earlier was an act. The moment I turned and took one step away, his bodyguards would run out from the corner and restrain me. Then, all that was left was interrogation.Bu

Theodore invited me to meet him at a restaurant at seven on Saturday night.That was enough to shock the entire family, then they became worried. Theodore held enormous influence and power in Harbor City, and his temper was even harder to predict. Someone had once said the wrong thing in front of him and Theodore had bankrupted him for it.As for me, I was so oblivious that even if someone held a knife to my throat, I would still grin and say, "That knife looks so real!"My father, Kenny, was so worried he paced in circles.My mother, Caroline, was so anxious she cried.My older brother, Tommy, kept sighing too.Only Nora covered her mouth smugly. She thought Theodore had figured out what had happened and wanted to deal with me.I was completely confused. "I'm just going to an audition. You should be happy for me."Afraid that the family would stop me, Nora quickly added, "Exactly, Dad, Mom, Tommy. Rebecca really is going to an audition. Maybe if Mr. Jensen is pleased, he'll

The entire banquet hall instantly descended into chaos.Just a moment ago, I had been accused of trying to poison Theodore. But now, I was the victim.Fortunately, there was a professional medical team working in the estate and I was instantly rushed to the infirmary.Nora watched everything unfold, her body going stiff with fear. True, she had watched me pour in the poison with her own eyes and then left. That was because her only goal had been to make sure the security camera captured me poisoning the wine.She had not expected me to drink the poisoned wine out of gluttony right after she left.The person who had poisoned the drink had taken a sip of the poison herself. Would that not make her accusation suspicious, too?The moment she thought about what she might have to face, her legs went weak. She looked around, trying to slip away in the chaos. But as soon as she turned, a bodyguard grabbed her by the collar and hurled her in front of Theodore.His expression was as dark

After listening to my long speech, Theodore fell silent for the longest time.He might have looked calm on the surface, but he was not that calm inside at all. He knew I was oblivious, but he had not expected me to be this oblivious.He suddenly wondered if I would still think it was a performance if he shot someone in the head right in front of me.Theodore took a deep breath and used every bit of patience he had to lay out the truth without sympathy. "First, everything that happened in that room that day was real. It wasn't a performance."In any case, I was already engaged to him. It was time to tell me the truth. "At the time, I was dealing with a traitor. That man wasn't saying a line when he asked you for help. He was really begging for help. What you touched wasn't fake blood either. It was real blood."My eyes slowly widened, but Theodore continued. "When Nora pushed you in, I was planning to deal with you too because that involved family secrets. Outsiders couldn't be all

On the day of Susan's birthday party, I finally saw my family again after a long time.After Kenny, Caroline, and Tommy confirmed that I had fully recovered, they finally stopped worrying about me. For some reason, Theodore had not allowed them to visit me at his estate. During this time, they were barely able to eat or sleep properly.Nora stood behind them, staring at me the moment she saw me. After everyone else finished greeting me, she was about to leave.I suddenly called out to her. "Nora."She paused and looked at me uncertainly.I walked up, patted her shoulder, and said, "I didn't expect you to have been trying to hurt me all along."She had not expected me to expose her so directly, and her mind started racing. After thinking of something, she quickly put on a guilty expression. "Rebecca, I'm sorry. I've done a lot of thinking lately. I admit I was jealous of you, but I know what I did put me in the wrong now. Can we still be sisters?"To keep me safe, Theodore had se
