Diaz’s Decision
I received reports that Marie was frequently visiting a separate villa.
Then, I received reports that those two entered the Capital after a long journey at the same time.
"My goodness..."
Marie's actions were easy to understand.
That child is similar to me.
She is like me; she is willing to hurt herself to protect what is important to her.
"She’s trying to settle everything alone."
I thought Marie's recent actions were strange.
She has been in a hurry to launch her brand, but she has not been advertising it that much and has been releasing new products little by little every season.
"Master, Lady Oriana has arrived."
"Show her in."
"Yes."
I ordered the maid to bring Lady Oriana into the room and asked about Marie.
I wondered if Lady Oriana had advised Marie.
"Lady Oriana, about Marie..."
"I haven't intervened in this matter."
"I see."
It seems Marie acted on her own.
"Lord Diaz, women sometimes do terrifying things to protect those they love. For men, women might seem like poison."
"Poison... is it?"
"Roses have thorns. But don't forget... roses are noble beings."
"Yes."
"It is not curious because of its thorns. It is because it is a rose.”
Beautiful things have thorns to protect their beautiful flowers.
Marie didn't lack thorns.
Has she been hiding them until now?
"You can't live just by being kind."
"I wanted her to live without getting hurt like that."
It's my fault.
Living in high society requires tough decisions.
"What kind of plan does Marie have?"
"I am not certain. I don't know how far Lady Marie is thinking."
"What is within your estimation."
Her ability to see the essence of things is superior to mine.
She probably understands Marie's actions.
"She is likely intending to oust those two."
"Oust them?"
“She plans to invite those two to the separate residence under the pretext of discussing matters… and expose their misdeeds.”
“That’s…”
She’s going to expose them at the villa under the guise of setting up a meeting?
"At this stage, it's difficult to accuse those two of a crime. So what do you think she should do?"
"Surely not!"
What a dangerous move!
What would happen if she did that?
"She's willing to bear all blame to protect everything."
"However!"
"That woman is a carnivorous plant. Lord Diaz, if your position was unbeneficial to her, the next targets would be Lord Henry and his son."
It would be unbearable for Marie to torment Henry.
"Why didn't she consult with me... I am her father!"
She doesn't have to fight alone!
"To protect your position, of course.”
Is that why she cornered Marie?
Then I must not abandon her.
Without any mercy.
What do you think about this chapter?
