~Chapter 38~ “She didn’t seem like that kind of person.” Cedric could say for sure—there had never been a hint of seduction in the way Harriet looked at him. If anything, it was Bella Listerwell who had been doing the seducing. If Harriet had really only gone after the men Bella was interested in, she should’ve shown some sort of reaction when Cedric had offered her financial support at the convent. But instead, she had clearly been offended and refused him. The same had happened…-

~Chapter 37~ “You mean you’re going to just accept that disgrace, even though it wasn’t your fault?” “It’s not something I can just shake off right away. And like you said, this scandal is the reason I’m famous—so I thought I might as well use it.” Tricia’s brow was still furrowed. While fame could be useful, letting a misunderstanding like being called a loose woman spread unchecked could be dangerous. “I worry you’re still too naive. High society has two faces. It can be…

~Chapter 36~ “Th-that’s not what I meant. I’m just saying, if you’d given us a heads-up as family, we wouldn’t have been so shocked.” Lauren’s bravado quickly faded, but she couldn’t hide the discontent in her eyes. Her sharp gaze turned to Harriet. “But this is strange. Your face looks kind of familiar, and I feel like I’ve heard your name before...” Harriet answered the question herself. “Maybe you’ve heard of me along with nicknames like ‘the troublemaker of the…

~Chapter 35~ Bella’s friends wrapped their arms around her shoulders to comfort her. “Don’t worry too much, Bella. If Harriet ever tries to hurt you, we’ll protect you.” “Of course! And now that Lord Chesselow is around, he’ll definitely protect you too. By the way, when are you planning to have the engagement ceremony?” The mood, which had been heavy with talk of Harriet, quickly lightened as the topic shifted to Bella’s engagement. Even if it wasn’t their own story, a…

~Chapter 34~ "But Uncle, you knew. You knew I believed you. You knew I had no one else to trust but you!" He had known, and yet he betrayed that desperate trust in the cruelest, most mocking way. "And now you're here talking about trust like it's something you care about? That's just funny to me. If you hurt others so easily, you should be ready to be hurt in return." "So you're saying you’re planning to ruin Bella’s engagement, is that it?" "I never said that. But from now on, Uncle, you…

~Chapter 33~ “Some people say I was heartless for cutting off her guardianship while she was in the convent, but think about it—how could I possibly live with Harriet and keep supporting her? Just imagining the chaos she’d cause… whew, it makes me sigh.” Trisha sipped her tea quietly, not offering much of a response. John, somewhat relieved that she wasn’t firing back sharply, put on a serious expression. “Why do you think Harriet suddenly clung to an aunt she hadn’t contacted…

~Chapter 32~ “If you go that way, the butler will serve you the drink you want himself.” “Thanks for letting me know.” Cedric gave a small nod to his acquaintances and left his seat. His friends, having overheard his conversation with the servant, understood why he was stepping away and waved him off casually. Cedric headed toward the terrace at ease. He hadn’t expected—nor intended—to run into Julian Fraith, drunk enough that his cheeks were flushed, nor to overhear his…

~Chapter 31~ “You’ve had a bit too much to drink, Sir Julian.” A large shadow fell between Harriet and Julian. Julian, who had been frowning with irritation, looked surprised the moment he saw the person. “D-Duke Kailas…!” Even in his drunken state, he recognized the man right away—so maybe he wasn’t as drunk as he seemed. Both Harriet and Julian froze as Cedric slowly stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Julian. “Is something the matter? You were raising your voice,…

~Chapter 30~ ‘What was his name again? Gray? Greg? I think his last name ended in “tro” or something…’ Harriet couldn’t quite remember his name, but he was the man who had seemed friendly when Trisha had introduced him to her earlier. He looked to be in his early thirties, wore expensive and stylish clothes, and although he seemed talkative, his tone wasn’t overly light or annoying. And now, just like Harriet, he was standing alone, quietly sipping his drink without anyone to talk…

~Chapter 29~ Trisha’s advice had been right. It was fortunate that Harriet remembered the song the Countess sang at Viscount Ainborough’s house three years ago. It seemed she had passed the first hurdle successfully. The bright expression on the Countess’s face, much like when she greeted Trisha, was proof of that. Of course, just entering the party smoothly didn’t mean the night’s challenges were over. In fact, things were only just beginning. Look at how the faces of the people who…
