Chapter 2107: A Life Sentence
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Please! For the sake of our relationship and for the sake of our baby, spare me this time! I swear to you, I won’t dare to do it again!”
Emily cried her heart out in front of Duke Eton, but after watching those videos, he was so angry that his temples were throbbing.
He looked at Emily with disgust and said, “Emily, you know what? I was so happy when I saw that you looked like my late wife. She was a girl from an ordinary family, but she was gentle, kind, and understanding, so I married her and had two children with her. We were very much in love until she died in a car accident.
“I thought you would be like her since you two looked the same and came from the same background. If you were as gentle, kind, and understanding as she was, I would have married you. But even after I found out that you weren’t all that great, I still didn’t investigate you thoroughly. I didn’t make any malicious assumptions about you. Because I subconsciously thought that a girl who could look like you must have a kind heart.
“But Sunny hadn’t even met you yet when you tried to get her killed. Did you think that after killing her, you and your child would get all my inheritance?”
“No… No!” Emily shook her head. “I didn’t think that!”
“Then what did you think? Tell me! The two of you have absolutely no relationship with Sunny, so why did you hate her so much that you wanted to kill her? You saw the video yourself just now. You told that woman yourself that you wanted Nangong Nuannuan dead too. Explain why you wanted this girl you didn’t even know to die!”
Emily wept sadly. Her mind spun quickly, trying to find an excuse, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not find one.
It was because she really did not want Nangong Nuannuan and Selina to inherit all of the Duke’s estate. That was why she wanted to kill them.
Unfortunately, those two lived in Camino all year round. As someone without power (for the time being), she could not kill them from so far away.
However, Nangong Nuannuan was going to come back for a while. Emily wanted to kill them one by one. Selina would have to come back eventually too. When her child was born, she would have status and power, so she was going to kill Selina then
This way, her and her child would be the only heirs of the Duke’s mansion.
Those two bastard children would no longer be able to compete with her for the inheritance of the Duke’s mansion. She would be the most important woman in the world, save for Her Majesty the Empress.
That was the plan she had thought up, and that was what she had tried to carry out.
However…
Her results were completely different than expected.
When Duke Eton received news of Nangong Nuannuan’s assassination attempt, he did not ask whether Nangong Nuannuan was dead or not, but whether the person who tried to kill her was still alive. When Nangong Nuannuan returned, Emily did not even say a few words to her. Now, she prostrated herself on the ground and became the most lowly person in the room.
She never thought things would get this bad.
Just how perverted was this girl, installing cameras in her own father’s bedroom?
“I’m asking you a question! Answer me! Since you didn’t think that, why did you try to kill Sunny?
“Miss Emily, if you don’t tell me the truth, I might guess that your reason is something worse. You might face a life sentence.”
