FunTranscript
00:02In my past life, my sister Elena and I married on the same day.
00:06Elena was gentle and smiley, but she married Dake,
00:09the depraved and unhemped heir of the black dragon Consorium.
00:13He forced Elena to transfuse such a massive amount of blood
00:16into his dying mistress that it caused her death.
00:19As for me, I was hot-tempered and rebellious.
00:23I was cast aside by my gentle physician husband,
00:27and Julian, who annulled our engagement,
00:30and sent me back to Wethrock Manor,
00:32where I left to die of illness in an old room.
00:37When I opened my eyes again,
00:38I was back on the day we chose our marriage contracts.
00:42Elena and I stared at the papers in each other's hands.
00:45Swap? Swap.
00:46We looked at each other and laughed.
00:49I'm marrying Drake.
00:51I didn't hesitate.
00:52I snatched the Drake's marriage contract,
00:54ignoring our mother's plan.
00:56Isra, the Moen family is not the place for you.
01:00Too many rules, too much fill underneath.
01:02With your temper, they'll grind you down to nothing.
01:05Elena stood beside her, silent.
01:07When she heard Drake's name, her fingers were already trembling,
01:10and the silver deer markings behind her ears had gone rudgy with tension.
01:14She and Cecilia wanted the same thing.
01:16Keep me out of the Moen family.
01:18Let me go instead.
01:20Isra should marry Julia.
01:22I've wanted Drake for years.
01:24I held the contract and gave them both a smile.
01:28So don't get in my way.
01:31That madman.
01:32He was exactly what a devil like me deserved.
01:37In my past life, Elena was way too soft, and she had to end up in the Moen family.
01:43Drake didn't like her.
01:46So no one in the Moen family liked her either.
01:49Drake was cold towards her.
01:50Viola stepped on her whenever she could.
01:54Even the dragon-blooded bastard felt free to throw tantrums in her face,
01:58hurling insults without restraint.
02:00Not a single person in that house ever treated her as Drake's wife.
02:04Eventually, Drake forced her to sign a long-term blood donation agreement.
02:07He used her blood to sustain his mistress he kept hidden away outside.
02:11They called it medical support.
02:13It was really just slavery and blood.
02:16Her reactions to the procedure got worse and worse.
02:19Her body was drained dry.
02:21In the end, she died.
02:24I married Julian.
02:26He was gentle, well-read, well-born.
02:29His mother was a famously respectable woman in Central City.
02:33They were kind to me.
02:35But someone like me is rotten at the core.
02:37A small beast belonging to Julian's mother once climbed the manor's outer wall.
02:42I could have saved it.
02:44Instead, I just stood there and watched it fall to its death.
02:49From that day on, she despised me.
02:52Later, Julian simply talked a bit longer with a woman he knew.
02:59And I flew into such a jealous rage that I slashed her face open.
03:05After that, they all began to hate me.
03:08Julian dissolved our marriage contract.
03:10A woman who was sent back to her family in disgrace had no dignity left.
03:16I was thrown into that old room in the back building and died there of illness.
03:22Then it settled.
03:23The wedding proceeds in three days as planned.
03:26After Cecilia left.
03:29Izura, Julian is a good man.
03:31You should be the one to marry him.
03:33I looked at her trembling hands, her red-rimmed eyes, and suddenly I understood.
03:37She'd come back, too.
03:40Elena, you're such a fool.
03:43Elena, my life afterward wasn't any better.
03:47I got dropped, sent home, and died of illness in that old room in the back building.
03:52She froze.
03:54Let's swap, maybe this time.
03:57The ending will be different.
04:00Once things were settled, I insisted on going to the Moan family.
04:04Cecilia had no choice but to arrange the wedding and dowry's trust for us.
04:10Julian came in person to fetch Elena.
04:13He stood there in his formal attire, still as gentle and dignified as ever.
04:17Even the natural eludeness of the Silver Fox bloodline hadn't changed a bit.
04:22That man had been my husband, in my past life.
04:26Someone I owed a debt to.
04:31Back then, when I was so sick and no one cared, it was Julian who came to see me.
04:36Who called a doctor for me.
04:38Who gave me one last shred of dignity.
04:41This time, I wasn't going to ruin him.
04:42I only hoped he and Elena could live out their lives in peace.
04:46As for me, I chose Drake.
04:48On the wedding day, he didn't show up.
04:50The people from the Moan family said Drake had some urgent business and couldn't make it.
04:55I almost laughed out loud.
04:57What business could he possibly have?
04:59Nothing more than staying out at club the night before, drinking too much.
05:03Too lazy to drag himself up.
05:05In my past life, Elena had ended up tied to exactly this kind of man.
05:11Cecilia saw how disrespectfully he was treating me, and she was furious and lashed out at me on the spot.
05:18I had told you to choose Liel before.
05:21You insisted on Drake.
05:22Look at this.
05:22He doesn't even care enough to show up for his own wedding.
05:25You'll regret this one day.
05:26It's fine, mother.
05:27Drake's just busy.
05:28He couldn't even spare time for the wedding.
05:30I can't exactly blame him for that.
05:32I lifted my skirts and got into the car, heading straight to the Moan family's main estate.
05:38Regret?
05:39If anyone was going to regret this, it would be Drake.
05:43I thought Drake simply not showing up was already humiliating enough.
05:47I hadn't expected worse was still coming.
05:49When the ceremony began, Drake still hadn't appeared.
05:52Standing across from me wasn't him.
05:55It was a black lesser beast, draped in a ceremonial straw.
05:59The Moan family's black dragon emblem hanging around its neck.
06:02It crowd at the edge of the main platform, golden vertical pupils fixed on me.
06:07A low growl rumbling in its throat, as if it might lunge and tear out my neck at any moment.
06:14Drake really isn't showing her any respect at all.
06:18She was humiliated like this on the first day.
06:20If it were me, I'd just walk out right now.
06:24They watched me and laughed, as if hoping I wouldn't even be able to stay on my feet.
06:29Drake's assistant stepped forward, not even bothering to pretend.
06:33Mr. Drake was up too late handling business last night.
06:36And couldn't get up this morning.
06:40This is his favorite lesser beast.
06:42Having it stand in for him works just as well.
06:45I ignored him and lifted my eyes to Viola on the high platform.
06:48She sat there without so much as lifting an eyelid.
06:52Drake is busy.
06:53As his wife, you should learn to be understanding.
06:57The guests are all here.
06:58Do not waste everyone's time.
07:00Let's begin.
07:01She and Drake both wanted the same thing today.
07:04To grind me into the dirt.
07:07But I refused.
07:10In my past life, Elena had stood through that entire ceremony beside a beast.
07:16In a scene just like this.
07:18No wonder her eyes had stayed red the first time she came home afterward.
07:22Cecilia asked her why Drake hadn't come with her.
07:25He's been busy.
07:26He'll come meet you all next time.
07:28She just sat there quietly and said cefly.
07:31I believed her back then.
07:34Thinking about it now, she hadn't believed he was busy at all.
07:38She simply couldn't bring herself to say the truth.
07:41In my past life, some social at once cursed me up during an argument.
07:45Your sister in the Moeen family isn't even worth as much as a dog.
07:52I'd hit her hard for that.
07:54I thought she was talking nonsense.
07:56It turned out she'd been telling the truth.
07:59Elena really hadn't been worth as much as a dog that day.
08:01Seeing that I hadn't moved, Viora's voice turned cold.
08:05Isara, stop this nonsense.
08:06The ceremony continues.
08:09You want me to complete my wedding with a beast?
08:12I've made myself perfectly clear.
08:14Drake isn't coming.
08:15This is his lesser beast standing in for him.
08:17There's no difference.
08:21No difference?
08:25So in your eyes, Drake and this beast are no different from each other?
08:32How dare you?
08:34Do you have any idea what you're saying?
08:35Did I say something wrong?
08:37The man marrying me is Drake, not his lesser beast.
08:41If you insist on having it stand in for him, aren't you saying they're the same?
08:45Enough of this nonsense.
08:46Drake is not coming to this wedding today.
08:49Is that so?
08:51But today, he has no choice but to come.
08:53Maybe it was Viola's anger that triggered it.
08:55The lesser beast suddenly grew agitatal and lunged straight at me.
08:58I pulled a short blade from beneath my wedding dress and drove it straight into its throat.
09:03Chaos erupted him instantly.
09:07Screams tore through the crowd.
09:09Oh my god, she killed the lesser beast!
09:12Viola shook with fury, pointing at me, her voice cracking.
09:16That was Drake's favorite pet!
09:18It didn't take long.
09:19Drake arrived.
09:21I stood in a pool of blood and slowly began to smile.
09:24I'd said it already.
09:26Today, Drake had no choice but to come.
09:30When Drake walked in, the furor in his eyes was impossible to hide.
09:34His pupils pressed into thin slits.
09:37He saw the corpse on the ground and his face turned cold instantly.
09:41My Sarah.
09:42You killed my pet!
09:44He stared at me, his voice like fire barely held in check.
09:48Yes.
09:49I stood there, not moving an inch.
09:52The next second's black dragon tail lashed out and coiled around my waist.
09:59I was yanked off the ground entirely.
10:02He held me up in front of his face, his vertical pupils icy, as if he might constrict me in
10:07half at any second.
10:08Everyone around us went silent.
10:10Everyone wanted to know if Drake would actually kill me at the wedding.
10:13In my past life, Elena had endured everything obediently, so Drake never touched her.
10:17But I was different.
10:18Killing his lesser beast was a direct insult to his face, in front of everyone.
10:23Black dragon scales began surfacing along the back of his hand.
10:26His tail tightened further.
10:27Just as I was about to lose my breath, I looked at him and forced the words out.
10:33Drake.
10:34If you kill me today, tomorrow it's you who'll end up in the regulatory bureau.
10:41He froze, his eyes turning even colder.
10:45Big words.
10:45He glared at me.
10:46You're nothing but a daughter the Wethurn family sent over for a marriage alliance, and you dare cause trouble in
10:52the Moeen family?
10:53Is that so?
10:54I looked back at him.
10:55Then go ahead. See if my father doesn't have the entire Northern Territory security line cut off all defense contracts
11:00with the Moen group tomorrow.
11:01Something finally shifted in Drake's eyes.
11:03It wasn't that he wasn't crazy.
11:06He just hadn't gone crazy enough to lose his mind completely.
11:10The Wethurn family had resources.
11:12My father, Leon, controlled the Northern Defense Network, Armed Transport, and the Cross-Species Security Alliance.
11:19I was his favorite daughter.
11:21Drake could humiliate me.
11:23But right now, he still didn't dare hurt me.
11:27At that moment, his legal advisor rushed over from behind and murmured something urgently in his ear.
11:33Drake's face darkened by the moment.
11:35After a pause, he stared at me and slowly released his tail.
11:39It was just a lesser beast.
11:40I can't be bothered arguing with you over it.
11:43He turned to leave.
11:44I stepped forward and blocked his path.
11:46The ceremony isn't finished.
11:47I looked at him.
11:48Where do you think you're going?
11:49Drake glared at me, his eyes burning with fury.
11:52You killed my lesser beast.
11:54And you still expect me to finish the ceremony with you?
11:57Isela, you must be dreaming.
12:00I gave him a smile and turned toward the VIP section not far off.
12:04Standing there was Kane, recently promoted to Alliance Executive.
12:08If you dare walk out today, I'll marry Kane instead.
12:12A straight swap of husbands.
12:14Kane, who had been standing perfectly straight, went pale on the spot.
12:22Isela, have you lost your mind?
12:23Kane and Drake spoke almost at the same time.
12:26Especially Drake.
12:27His face had gone dark enough to kill someone.
12:29At his own wedding, the bride had just announced in front of everyone that she'd swap him out for Kane.
12:34If word of this got out, he won't have a face left.
12:37I looked at them both and said nothing.
12:39Drake, who'd been about to walk out moments ago, no longer dared move.
12:44He understood now.
12:46I was capable of anything.
12:48If he actually left me here today, I really would marry Kane.
12:51Kane's expression shifted repeatedly.
12:53And without another word, he turned and walked away.
12:55He ran fast enough.
12:57Absolutely spireless.
12:58Drake stood on the spot.
13:00His face dark enough that dragon wings looked ready to burst out at any second.
13:05In the end, he stayed.
13:07But once he actually stood beside me and was ready to finish the ceremony, I changed my mind.
13:11I turned and walked straight back to my room.
13:14You think you can just come and leave when you want?
13:16In your dreams.
13:18That night, Drake didn't come.
13:19In my past life, I'd heard from a maid that Drake hadn't gone to Elena's room that first night either.
13:24She'd sat alone until dawn.
13:25So foolish.
13:26If a man didn't come the first night, he'd never come in.
13:29Someone?
13:29My lady.
13:30The courtyard was full of maids and bodyguards I'd brought from the Wethorn family.
13:34All loyal to me alone.
13:35Since Drake has no intention of entering my room, that means he doesn't live with me.
13:39Throw all his things out.
13:41Yes.
13:45No one hesitated.
13:47They started clearing the room immediately.
13:50The moment Drake got word, he came storming over, furious.
13:55But I was already asleep.
13:57The bodyguard Leon had assigned me stood at the door and wouldn't let him in.
14:02Aizara!
14:02Get out here right now!
14:05I ignored him.
14:06Eventually, his own advisor talked him into leaving.
14:09Sir, you can't afford to fall out with her right now.
14:11The Wethorn family isn't to be touched yet.
14:18Isola, you'd better hope you never end up in my hands.
14:22He cursed a bit more before finally leaving.
14:25Early the next morning, before I'd even opened my eyes, the old maid who served Viola came in.
14:29Madam, it's time to get up, according to the Moyne family's wedding traditions.
14:33My personal maid, Leah, blocked her path.
14:36She's not awake yet.
14:39In the Moyne households, the lady must accompany the Downjard for breakfast every day and attend the morning meetings.
14:45Sleeping in as long as you please is not an option here.
14:48The Downjard has plenty of people around her already.
14:50Why must it be her?
14:52She's barely married.
14:53There's no need to run her ragged on the very first day.
14:55She's just entered the Moyne family.
14:57That's exactly why she needs to learn the rules.
14:59If you talk back again and I'll have you dragged out.
15:05Leah, that's enough.
15:07I'll go.
15:09She heard me agree.
15:11The old maid's expression eased slightly.
15:13Then hurry up.
15:14Don't keep the dowager waiting.
15:15Leah is still unwilling to let me be ronched.
15:19I held her hand firmly to stop her arguing further.
15:22I had her help me dress, then went straight to Viola's quarters.
15:25In my past life, this was exactly how they'd worn Elena down, piece by piece.
15:29This time, I owed it to her to settle that score.
15:35When I walked in, Viola had just gotten up.
15:37The maid beside her immediately pressed a silver base into my hands, as if I would touch something she had
15:43touched.
15:43Please attend to the Dowchager's morning toiletry.
15:45I held the bask, glanced at the maid, then looked at Viola and smiled.
15:49Seems like the people around you really aren't up to the task.
15:51They can't even handle something like this.
15:53Has to fall to me.
15:54Viola looked up at me, her tone cold.
15:57They're not incapable.
15:59They're teaching you.
16:00Teaching me.
16:02But no one in the Wethorn family ever taught me things like this.
16:05What Cecilia taught me was how to manage accounts, how to handle money, how to protect what's mine.
16:10Serving people.
16:11That was never my job.
16:13Isra.
16:13This is the Moeen family, not Wetherick Manor.
16:16You have to follow our rules.
16:17Fine.
16:18I'll learn.
16:19I agreed readily.
16:21While the attendants fixed her clothes, I stood off to the side, holding the water, quiet, as if genuinely preparing
16:28to learn the rules.
16:30The moment she finished changing.
16:33My foot slipped.
16:34The entire bosk of water went straight over her.
16:40Viola screamed, and the whole room descended into chaos.
16:46Sorry.
16:47I didn't mean to.
16:48See, I told you already.
16:50I don't know how to do this kind of thing.
16:51You just didn't believe me.
16:53Viola looked down at her outfit, her eyes red with fury.
16:56This was custom made!
16:58That expensive?
16:59What a shame.
17:00Shame about what?
17:02She deserved it.
17:04Elena had spent three years here in her past life.
17:06I didn't believe this woman had only tormented her once or twice.
17:10Get Drake in here!
17:12Tell him to dissolve the marriage contract this instant!
17:15Get this woman out of here right now!
17:19That would be perfect, actually.
17:21If the contract could be dissolved right now, it would save me the trouble later of Drake forcing me to
17:27sign long-term blood donation agreement.
17:29Before long, Drake arrived.
17:30The moment he walked in and saw Vioria soaked, hair disheveled, makeup ruined, and his face darkened immediately.
17:36You did that?
17:37Yes.
17:38I didn't deny it at all.
17:40Drake, dissolve the marriage contract right now!
17:42Irola pointed at me, her voice heard a single with anger!
17:45I stood off to the side, waiting quietly.
17:47Drake was silent for a moment, then, of all things, sighed.
17:51Why go looking for trouble with her?
17:54Viola froze.
17:57What did you say?
17:58I said don't provoke her.
18:00Let the maids handle things like this.
18:02Why do you insist on tormenting her?
18:04Viola looked as if she hadn't understood,
18:06staring fixically at him.
18:08So you have no intention of dissolving the contract?
18:11Drake's face stayed dark.
18:14After a pause of seconds, he spoke in a low voice.
18:17Not right now.
18:23Useless!
18:24Viola grabbed whatever was within reach and hurled it at Drake.
18:27How did I end up with a useless son like you?
18:31She cursed him for being worthless, cursed him for not even being able to control me.
18:36But she wasn't wrong.
18:38Drake genuinely didn't dare dissolve the marriage contract right now.
18:41He needed the Wether family.
18:44More precisely, he needed the Northern Territory Security Alliance and the military contracts my father controlled.
18:50In my past life, he dared torment Elena because he discovered after marriage that she meant nothing to the Weththorne
18:56family.
18:57But this time was different.
19:00His advisors must have already found out.
19:04I was Leon's favorite daughter.
19:07Whoever the Weththorne family moved against, it never let me lose.
19:11By the end, Viola nearly passed out from anger because of me.
19:15Drake and I walked out of her quarters, one after the other.
19:18Once outside, he stopped and turned to look at me.
19:22Ishela, you're already part of the Moeen family now.
19:25No one here would dare touch you.
19:26But you'd best not go looking for trouble either.
19:30Depends on my mood.
19:32Drake's face darkened again.
19:34I'd probably given him some kind of trauma by now.
19:36But this was only the beginning.
19:37I'd make sure he learned exactly what regret meant.
19:40Three days later, it came the first family dinner back at Weththorne Manor since the wedding.
19:44Drake originally had no intention of accompanying me.
19:47He'd spent the previous night at the club where his old lover Serena was kept.
19:51He was just waiting for a chance to bring her into the Moen family.
19:55In my past life, Drake hadn't gone with Elaine on her first visit home either.
20:00She'd gone back to Weththorne Manor alone.
20:02Cecilia had even scolded her for being so incapable.
20:05She couldn't even manage her own husband.
20:07Elena had just lowered her head, saying nothing.
20:09No one ever knew what kind of life she was living in the Moen house.
20:12This time, I had people drag Drake straight out of the club and throw him into the car.
20:18His face had gone livid with anger.
20:20The black shadow of his dragon form barely contained behind his shoulders.
20:25Isola, have I been too kind on you these past few days?
20:29I sat across from him, not even sparing him a glass.
20:33Honestly, I don't want to bring you along either.
20:35But if you don't show up for the first family visit after the wedding,
20:39the Weththorne family loses face.
20:41What does that have to do with me?
20:45Go back yourself. I have things to attend to tonight.
20:48Of course he did. It was Serena's birthday.
20:50How could he possibly miss that?
20:53Fine.
20:55If you don't come back with me today, I'll have someone beat Serena to death.
21:02Drake's face changed instantly.
21:04You wouldn't dare.
21:05Try it.
21:06I looked at him, my tone perfectly even.
21:08A woman kept behind some club and she actually thinks she matters?
21:11I kill her today, report it to the regulatory bureau tomorrow?
21:14They might even commend me for handling things so cleanly.
21:17Drake nearly shot up out of his seat.
21:19He hadn't expected that I already knew who Serena was and where he'd been hiding her.
21:23He grinned his teeth.
21:26Isara, I'm your husband.
21:28The wedding was never even finished.
21:29Who exactly recognizes you as my husband?
21:32I looked at him and smiled.
21:34Besides, if you died, that would actually be convenient.
21:37I could just marry someone else instead.
21:39Drake stared at me, his expression darkened to the extreme.
21:42Who would you want to marry? Kane?
21:44None of your business.
21:45I leaned back against the seat, my tone indifferent.
21:48Behave and come with me to Wethrock Manor.
21:51Otherwise, Serena won't survive the night.
21:54Drake stared at me, unblinking.
21:56After a long moment, he forced out a sentence.
21:59You insane woman.
22:00Everyone has a weakness.
22:01No matter how mad Drake was, he wouldn't dare gamble with Serena's life.
22:05In the end, he came back to Wethart Manor with me.
22:08By the time we arrived, Elena and Juliet were already there.
22:11Elena had brought back a great many gifts.
22:13Health tonics, jewelry, and a few small things picked out for Cecilia.
22:17Cecilia's attitude remained distant.
22:19She was polite on the surface, but mostly for Julian's sake.
22:22I picked all of these out myself.
22:24I hope you'll like them.
22:25Elena's voice was soft.
22:27Cecilia only nodded.
22:29How thoughtful.
22:30She had a maid take the gifts away without so much as another glance.
22:34Elena's expression didn't change, as if she was already used to it.
22:37But Julie gently squeezed her hand as if offering comfort.
22:40He was just as gentle as he'd been in my past life.
22:42A good man.
22:43Someone like that was meant for Elena.
22:45As long as they lived well, I felt it was worth it.
22:48Isera.
22:49The moment Elena saw me, her eyes lit up instantly.
22:52She came over and looked me over from head to so, checking that I was unharmed.
22:57Then finally letting out a breath.
22:59Did they give you a hard time?
23:01She asked so softly.
23:02Before I could answer, Dake let out a cold laugh first.
23:04Who would dare give her a hard time?
23:06She's turned the entire Moeen house upside down, drawing blood every other day.
23:09I'm the one having the worst time of it right now.
23:13He was still holding a grudge over me, threatening him with Serena.
23:17The moment Elena saw him, her expression visibly tent, and she instinctively took a step back.
23:22In her past life, Drake had tormented her.
23:25That kind of fear was carved into her bones.
23:28Julian noticed right away and reached out to stabor her.
23:31Let's go take a walk outside.
23:33Okay.
23:36Elena nodded and left with him.
23:39Drake watched her retreating figure, then suddenly spoke, out of nowhere.
23:42Look at your sister, then look at yourself.
23:44Both daughters of the Wethorn family, but how could the difference be so charged?
23:49If I'd known this back then, I should have chosen her instead.
23:53I turned to look at him.
23:54In my past life, he had chosen Elena.
23:56And then what?
23:57He'd driven her to her death, piece by piece, with his own hands.
24:01I stared at Dake, my voice perfectly flat.
24:03If I hear you mention her one more time, I'll have someone cut out Serena's tongue.
24:09Drake's face went white instantly.
24:12I was wrong.
24:13Leave her alone.
24:15He gritted his teeth.
24:16I looked at him.
24:17Then keep your mouth shut.
24:19Behave yourself.
24:20I'm gonna go talk to Cecilia.
24:23I left him there and went straight to Cecilia.
24:29The moment Cecilia saw me, her expression eased considerably.
24:33The table was already set with all my favorite dishes.
24:36She also slides several property deeds, shop legers, and a family trust fairment across the table to me.
24:41Take these.
24:42If the Moan family ever wrongs you, the family should at least leave you with some leverage.
24:47She still favored me.
24:48Just like in my past life.
24:50It would have been so much better if you'd chosen Julia.
24:53A man like that.
24:55Gentle, steady.
24:56Not like Drake, who's practically insane.
24:58It's already decided.
24:59I looked at her.
25:00Don't bring this up again.
25:01Elena is already married to Julia now.
25:03If you keep saying things like this, it's bad for both her and Julia.
25:05Cecilia's brow frenened.
25:07She wasn't pleased.
25:08She has what she has today because I gave her that dignity.
25:10If I hadn't raised her by my side, a mistress' leftover child would never have had the standing to marry
25:15the way you did.
25:16Still the same as in my past life.
25:17She'd raised Elena, yet had never really considered her one of her own.
25:20But you raised her yourself.
25:22I looked at Cecilia.
25:24She's always thought of you as her mother.
25:26It wouldn't cost you much to be a little kinder to her.
25:28Cecilia said nothing.
25:29Just looked at me.
25:30In my past life, an infectious disease had once swept through Central City.
25:34Westhorn Manor had been sealed in quarantine, everyone gripped by fear for their own safety.
25:38Cecilia had fallen gravely ill, and people around her terrified of being infected and refused to go near her.
25:43In the end, it was Elena who stayed by her side, tending to her day and night without rest, until
25:49she recovered.
25:50Afterward, Elena had even been reprimanded for it once she returned to the Moan household, but she never said a
25:56word about it.
25:57She's not as unimportant as you think.
25:59If it weren't for her, you might not have made it through at all.
26:01I looked at Cecilia, speaking slowly.
26:04Cecilia fell silence for a while and finally sighed.
26:07Fine.
26:08I understand.
26:10I'll be kinder to her from now on.
26:13With that, she called for the household steward.
26:17Put those shops in the Southern District, along with a small trust, under Elena's name.
26:23I nodded.
26:24That was how it should be.
26:26Elena didn't deserve to live a hard life her entire existence.
26:33When Elena saw the documents, she was clearly stunned.
26:36Are these for me?
26:40She could barely believe it.
26:42It's Madame's wish.
26:44She said that since the eldest daughter received a share, you shouldn't go without one either.
26:48Elena froze for a moment, her eyes welling up instantly.
26:53Thank her for me.
26:55She was genuinely happy.
26:57She'd always wanted just a little bit of favor.
26:59Just a little was enough.
27:01After dinner, we each went our separate ways.
27:03Drake and I returned to the Moan household.
27:05The car had barely stopped when someone from Viola's side came, saying Viola wanted to see me.
27:10Before I could even respond, Drake had already turned the person away on my behalf.
27:14Tell her Isra is tired.
27:16She's not coming today.
27:17The messenger hesitated for a moment, then withdrew it anyway.
27:20Drake wasn't doing this out of concern for me.
27:22He was just afraid that if I went, I'd made Viola sick again.
27:25Besides, he was in a hurry to see Serena that night, in the private suite behind the club.
27:30The moment Serena saw him, her eyes welled up instantly.
27:34She leaned into his arms, as if she'd suffered some terrible wrong.
27:38I thought you didn't want me anymore.
27:41How could that be?
27:44Today's my birthday.
27:45You didn't come.
27:47I thought you'd never come again.
27:49Something came up today.
27:51That madwoman dragged me back to Wethruk Manon.
27:53That's why I was held up.
27:55So that's what happened.
27:58I knew you couldn't bear to give me up.
28:00Drake bent down and kissed her.
28:03Before long, the two of them ended up in bed together.
28:06Afterwards, Serena held onto him, her voice sickeningly sweet.
28:09Luca's already old enough for preschool.
28:11I want to see him every day and take care of him myself.
28:14When are you bringing us into the Moeen household?
28:17Not right now.
28:18Isra's watching too closely these days.
28:21Drake's face darkened slightly.
28:23Had Andrew thought that Isi married me, find a chance to bring Serena in to be difficult.
28:26Gave her a status, arrange a place to live, then slowly bring Luca into the household.
28:30But now he'd even dared bring it up.
28:33Serena's eyes welled up again.
28:35So Luca and I are just meant to live outside forever?
28:37Aren't you afraid people will mock him, say he can't stand the light?
28:40This was the one thing Drake couldn't stand from her.
28:43Just wait a little longer.
28:45That's what he said.
28:46But Serena suddenly looked up at him, her tone light.
28:49You wouldn't happen to be afraid of Isara, would you?
28:57Drake's face changed instantly.
29:00Dragons couldn't stand having their authority questioned.
29:04Afraid of her?
29:06What is she?
29:07In a couple days, I'll bring you both back.
29:11Only then did Serena smile.
29:14I knew it.
29:16I'm still the one you care about most.
29:19As she spoke, she held on to Drake tighter.
29:23I'd need to see it to know.
29:24A man like Drake was bound to be foolish enough to act on those words again.
29:29The upper circles of Central City held a spring charity gala.
29:33Plenty of daughters from wealthy consortium families and newly married women were invited.
29:38Elena and I were both on the guest list.
29:42Drake didn't want to accompany me, so he told me to attend alone.
29:45The moment I walked into the ballroom, I heard the crowd start talking about me.
29:49Isn't that Drake's bride?
29:50The one who stood beside the pet beast at the wedding?
29:53She actually has the nerve to show up.
29:55Drake clearly doesn't think anything of her.
29:56If it were me, I'd have buried myself somewhere that same day.
29:59The one saying this was Rachel.
30:02Her father was a member of the finance committee, and had always been at odds with the Wethron family.
30:08Naturally, she found me the most objectable of all.
30:12Elena's eyes welled up instantly, and she spoke up for me right away.
30:16That wasn't Isera's fault.
30:18It was Drake's.
30:19I squeezed her hand, signaling her not to say anything more.
30:23In my past life, when Elena had come here, she'd been surrounded and mocked the exact same way.
30:29Back then, I hadn't known any of it.
30:32Now, I did.
30:33So this time, I wouldn't let her take the hit in my place.
30:38I walked over to Rachel and slapped her across the face.
30:45She froze on the spot.
30:47You dare hit me?
30:49Why wouldn't I?
30:50I looked at her.
30:51I'm standing right here, and you don't even greet me.
30:53Instead, you insult me to my face.
30:55Hitting you is just teaching you some rules.
30:57She clutched her cheek.
30:59Her voice warping with fury.
31:01You're nothing but a woman Drake doesn't even want, and you dare touch me?
31:05My aunt is at Alliance headquarters.
31:07She won't let you go, nor the Wethrock family!
31:11She was too angry to care what came out of her mouth.
31:14She's right.
31:15I was about to respide when a low voice cut in from beside us.
31:19I turned.
31:20It was Kane.
31:21He was dressed in black formal wear, standing at the edge of the crowd.
31:24His tone is calm as if he were discussing someone else's business.
31:28Rachel, threatening the Wethhorn family isn't a smart move.
31:31Leon holds the North for the Alliance.
31:33He's the reason Central City stays stable.
31:35If your father knew you were talking nonsense here, he'd probably discipline you himself first.
31:40Rachel's face went white instantly.
31:42She didn't dare say another word, and turned to leave.
31:45Kane had never been one to waste words.
31:47But every word he did say was enough to leave someone humiliated.
31:51I looked at him and smiled.
31:54In my past life, after Drake's failed power grab, it was Kane who'd protected the Wethhorn family.
31:59Back then, Leon and my brother had both been implicated.
32:02Kane had stood up and spoken on their behalf, making plenty of enemies for it.
32:06What I owed him wasn't any less than what I owed Julian.
32:10Kane glanced at me, his expression a little uneasy.
32:14Just convenience.
32:16Don't read into it.
32:17He turned to leave.
32:19I reached out and caught his sleeve.
32:24Kane
32:25At the wedding, I said I'd marry you instead.
32:28Why did you run off?
32:30Kane looked as if my words had scold him.
32:32He immediately raised his hand to cover my mouth.
32:34Don't say things like that.
32:35I stared at him, and let the tip of my tongue graze his palm lightly.
32:39Kane went completely storied.
32:41The next instant, he yanked his hand back as if he'd been bitten.
32:44He stared at me, the tips of his ears flushed red, and was unable to string together a coherent sentence
32:49for a long moment.
32:50Isara, you-
32:51What about me?
32:52I looked at him, my tone perfectly at ease.
32:55Drake and I never even finished the wedding ceremony.
32:57We didn't spend the first night together either.
32:59By the rules, we can hardly be called a couple.
33:01I said it plainly.
33:02Drake was doomed.
33:04Either way, there was no future if I stayed with him.
33:06Staying in the Moan family right now was only to settle the score for Elena and to secure an exit
33:10for the Wetheron family.
33:12Kane's expression grew even more uneasy.
33:14Whatever's between you and Drake has nothing to do with me.
33:17You'd best not do anything reckless.
33:20With that, he turned to leave.
33:21I watched his back and spoke directly.
33:24Kane, if you're willing.
33:25Once I dissolve the contract with Drake, I'll marry you.
33:27The moment the words left my mouth, Kane walked away even faster.
33:31He didn't even look back.
33:32Such a coward.
33:34But that was exactly the kind of man I liked.
33:36The type who looked composed on the surface, but couldn't handle being teased at all.
33:40Isara.
33:41A heavy voice suddenly sounded from behind me.
33:44I turned and saw Drake standing there.
33:46I had no idea when he'd arrived.
33:47His face was as dark as a sky before a storm.
33:50His eyes a cold black, as if his scales might break through at any moment.
33:54He'd clearly heard everything I'd just said.
33:57He'r's...
33:58I love you.
33:59I love you.
34:01You're welcome.
34:02I'm opportunity to listen to him.
