Chapter 28 (1/2)

Obvious Lie

Objects of unknown shapes were scattered on the carpet, and bottles of alcohol spread across the floor.

Richard swept his hair up while standing in the wrecked room. He was sweating on his forehead after breaking everything in the room.

He drank alcohol to calm his boiling anger and released his energy until his anger was relieved, but he didn’t feel better at all.

Richard plopped into a fine chair.

As he stayed still, he naturally remembered memories that he wanted to forget.

Yesterday, Richard met Lilia.

Lilia’s attitude, which has changed significantly from one to ten, was very unfamiliar. It was like dealing with someone else.

Reluctantly, Richard used a last resort.

It was to kneel down and beg for her forgiveness. It hurt his pride, but this was the only way he could think of.

He believed that this was enough for Lilia to accept him but the only thing that came back was a cold response.

Lilia, who did not change her attitude, no, demanded a breakup. Richard insisted that he couldn’t break up their marriage and gave up on it.

In the end, nothing was resolved.

“Will you break up the engagement because I’m crazy?”

Richard kicked the bottle that rolled to his feet. The bottle of liquor hit the wall with a bang and broke into pieces.

Richard whispered and muttered.

“What about the efforts I have made so far…. ”

It wasn’t just a coincidence that Lilia fell in love with him. It was the result he wanted, and he worked tirelessly to get it.

He thought he had all of her heart, but with only one mistake, everything collapsed.

He regretted it more than a thousand times. He shouldn’t have brought that woman home.

(TL: instead of saying he shouldn’t have cheated he is saying he shouldn’t have brought that woman to his home. Bastard)

He should’ve stayed quiet until the wedding. He kept dwelling over the irreversible past.

And as always the end of regret was to defend oneself.

“Everyone has an affair. Just that much……. ”

“Do you know how rotten the social world has been,” said Richard, groaning again.

It was just unfair.

It was because Lilia was sensitive to what everyone else was doing.

If he had shown this much remorse, he was sure she’d let it slide at least once. It was hard to decide every time.

Richard’s gaze turned downward.

The expensive clothes and accessories he was wearing…

All were given by Lilia. After all this, he was already addicted to this sweet life.

No matter what happened, it could never be taken away.

“Fuck. ”

Until the family found out about the breakup, he wanted to change her mind again.

The wedding was just around the corner, as long as he could get through it safely….

Richard nervously tapped his finger on the armrest.

Also, Karhan Evantheon bothered him.

-I guess there is really something called destiny. We fell in love with each other at first sight at this banquet.

Such an obvious lie.

Richard did not believe Lilia’s words.

It was because there was more than one suspicious thing. Lilia wasn’t the type that would fall in love with someone at first sight.

Rather, she was wary and suspicious of strangers.

When she was betrayed by someone close to her, there was a time when she confessed that it was because of her luck.

Obviously there is something between those two. If he finds that out, he might be able to separate Lilia from Karhan.

“I have to look into Evantheon Little Duke no matter what…. ”

It is better if he will be able to learn his weakness.

Richard jumped up from the seat.

“I’m going out, get the carriage ready!”

While the employees were moving busily, Richard was ready to go out quickly. He was thinking of shopping to change his mood.

After getting in the carriage, he headed to the clothing store he often stopped by.

Because it was owned by Lilia, it was possible to shop without a penny. Arriving in front of the store, the clerk opened the door first and came out.

He thought the clerk was going to greet him, but unexpectedly, the clerk stopped Richard.

“What are you doing not stepping aside?”

“Sorry. In the future, people of the Tersian family will not be allowed to enter. ”

“What?!”

Richard suddenly screamed out loud.

“I can’t believe I’m not allowed in, what the hell are you talking about!”

There was a lot of scuffle.

At last, when the clerk said he would call the guard, Richard had no choice but to withdraw.

Richard turned around, swearing they should not discriminate against people.

Obviously, Lilia was behind this.

“You think there’s only one store?”

It’s enough to go to a better store, he said with courage.

So then, one place, two places….The number of times being kicked at the store door’s gradually increased .

All of the good shops in this neighborhood didn’t accept him. Richard’s face turned red as he was moving around the street.

Until now, it has been natural for everyone to slip off and grovel when they see his face. Even though he was going to spend his money, no one let him in.

He had never been insulted in such a way before. Thirsty, Rihard went to a store for a drink. He thought it would be okay there as he was a regular customer.

“I’m sorry. All the ingredients are sold off. ”

At the obvious lie, Richard eventually exploded.

The shopkeeper wouldn’t budge even if he grabbed her by the collar to tell her not to talk bullshit. Rather, she brazenly said she would call the guard.

“Damn it!!”

Richard had no choice but to turn back. He walked down the street muttering. Then, stopping in the middle of the street, he looked at the many shops and realized.

Among these many shops, there was none where Richard could enter.

Karhan, who was spending his usual daily life, received a letter.
