She planned a scheme of vengeance against her father, only to turn around and stab you in the back. And all of this was orchestrated alongside her former lover, Duke D’Arest!"

He is all smiles as he continues, but without asking fi

Her fingers trembled slightly around the folder she was holding, while the air in the room seemed to thicken, pressing against her lungs until breathing became hot and heavy. Dominic Sinclair—the young professor everyone knew for his cold demeanor and unapproachable aura—sat casually behind his desk, as if he’d just made an ordinary offer. His face was calm, almost expressionless, but those gray eyes of his held the unmistakable gleam of control. “Excuse me?” Renata’s voice came out hoarse. “What do you mean… by secret girl?” “I know your scholarship was revoked,” Dominic said, leaning back in his chair, his lips curving into a faint, unnerving smile. “That’s why you came to see me today, is

In the book, it weren't cookies but a meat pie. However, now with her here, and the Duke seemed to love her very much, surely he would not believe that she would harm his beloved son. No matter what, Melissa needed to expose this evil scheme. But no matter how hard she tried, the matter could not be linked to Lady Sophia at all. No one knew how the chocolate cookies had ended in the kitchen with a note saying it was for Lord William from Her Grace.

In the dark corner, Grace was proudly holding a glass, drinking alone. It really was her... Melanie smiled. Unexpectedly, she had Grace, her opponent, to thank today.

"Miss Melanie, may I know what you write?" Duke Wilhelm asked. "I wrote, Periodical Cicada," Melanie calmly replied. Duke Wilhelm's brow furrowed... Who had sabotaged his plan behind the scenes?!

Lady Paisley queries with a questionable look on her face. "We are out of here. Can't you see the Majesty's look?" Grand Duke tells the Lady the details, and Lady Paisley intriguingly peeks at the Majesty's deadly orbs, giving her shiver to the spine. "See?
