Raising My Fiancé With Money

Chapter 57

Become The Real Successor

TL: Jasmine

His heart dropped and lost its place, Karhan’s face turned red and he felt as if he would die soon. When his grip weakened, Richard pulled out his wrist. And he raised his head proudly,

“Until when are you going to lie?”

“I can’t stand to see my innocent fiancée being deceived by the Young Duke.”

Richard glanced at Lilia. Lilia was looking their way with her forehead narrowed. He noticed that Lilia knew nothing.

“Does Lilia know that you’re not a real heir, Young Duke?”

“What are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense.”

Lilia intervened immediately.

“I didn’t know you’d say something crazy.”

“Do you think I’m lying?”

Richard asked back. Lilia turned her head without answering and stared at Karhan. Karhan, who was standing as if he was broken, dropped his head without saying anything.

“Karhan.”

Lilia quietly called Karhan. However, there was no answer. Richard whispered to Lilia, barely swallowing laughter,

“Look at that, Lilia. You were deceived by the Young Duke.”

Richard, who stood fully as if proud, revealed the secret that Karhan had not told so far,

“You would have imagined being a duchess’, but the Young Duke is just a scarecrow. He’s a temporary successor.”

Despite hearing insulting words, Karhan still failed to refute. Lilia looked at Karhan, who couldn’t raise his head. Now she could see why Karhan sometimes reacted strangely.

A face that hesitated as if he had something to say whenever the story of his succession came out. When she was invited to the duke’s office, he acted like he was sitting on a thorny bed….. After listening to Richard, she understood everything

“Do you think the second son, who is not even in the Duke’s periphery, can succeed? When the eldest son returns, he will be kicked out of the family.”

Where did Richard pick that up? He even dug into Karhan’s family history. Lilia, who wasn’t listening, turned her head to look at Richard.

“So, what does that have to do with me?”

“What?”

Richard was bewildered as to her unexpected response.

“Did you think I would cling to you after hearing that?”

“No, I….”

Lilia shot back fiercely without giving him a chance,

“I knew you were trash, but I didn’t know you’d do a background investigation.”

Lilia slowly exhaled to suppress her rising anger. She wondered why Richard came confidently, and he thought that revealing Karhan’s weakness would change her mind. It was also a talent to get rid of the affection that wasn’t there.

“Karhan.”

Lilia called Karhan one more time. Only then did he raise his head. The eyes shaking like water after a stone was thrown were pathetic. As if he had committed a crime, Karhan could not make eye contact with Lilia in the end. Lilia bit her lip softly and then released it,

“I have something to tell you, so get in the carriage.”

Karhan hesitated but eventually boarded the carriage as Lilia said. Then as Lilia also tried to get on the carriage, Richard shouted,

“Lilia! Listen to me!”

Lilia beckoned to Frances and Malek. They immediately grabbed Richard’s shoulders. He struggled with all his might like a bug caught in a spider web, but he couldn’t shake off the two,

“I can’t let go of this!”

Lilia looked at Richard as if staring at a target. If she had three arrows and was able to kill him in one shot, she would shoot Richard all three times without hesitation.

“There’s only one reason you’ll come to me in the future.”

Lilia completely cut off any room for argument.

“When bringing the consent form for the breakup.”

Leaving that behind, Lilia got into the carriage. She heard him shouting from behind her back. You are going to regret it, you won’t cling to him anymore…… Lilia ignored it and told the horseman.

“Let’s go”

The carriage door closed. Richard was seen through the window. Not long after that, it was clear that he would return after eating some grass.

The tightly closed gate opened and the carriage ran toward the garden. Only the sound of the wheels rolling filled the carriage. Lilia closed the curtain and saw Karhan sitting in the opposite corner.

As soon as her gaze reached, his eyelids slowly went up. Black eyelashes trembled like a butterfly wet in the rain. Lilia waited silently without saying anything. Karhan exhaled a little. It was not long before a tightly locked voice came out,

“…..Sorry for hiding it.”

Karhan paused for a moment with a pale face. And muttered in a guilty voice,

“I should’ve been honest from the beginning…….”
