After the True Heiress Dies
"I saw you eavesdropping on us earlier. Then, I found two of my sleeping pills missing. You're quite clever, aren't you?"
This time, Caroline did not beat me up. She came to an agreement with the town dunce quickly and married me off to him.
On the day of the wedding, I finally saw Xavier.
He stormed into the dunce's house, just like he had done when I was 16.
This time, he did not use violence to solve the problem. He told his assistant to give the dunce's family 300 thousand dollars, then took me away.
I was ecstatic to have escaped from there. I wanted to thank him, but I found myself saying, "Why did you come so late, Xavier? It's been almost a month. I was miserable."
