Chapter 31

In such a way that she was pushed by the hands of the hurrying maid, Vivian impulsively headed for Alexia’s room.

Right at the moment she tried to turn the doorknob, she immediately heard the crashing sounds of the earthenware from beyond the door.

“She deceived me!”

Simultaneously, as the door flung opened, the things that Alexia had thrown flew straight past Vivian before the bits bumped into her at once. The one that was lucky enough to have narrowly escaped Vivian then fell onto the floor and rolled away.

“She had been groveling before me and yet, now she dared to deceive me like this!”

Vivian, who was all too familiar with that furious temperament of hers, immediately fell down to her knees in her presence.

It had already become Vivian’s role to accept all of Alexia’s wrath. And as always, Vivian had to drop down and lean flat on the floor right in front of her—just like a four-legged beast.

“My Lady, please ca…..”

“Shut up!”

Vivian couldn’t avoid the sudden kick that came flying. As soon as she was crushed by those high heels of hers, a silent groan had immediately escaped from Vivian’s mouth.

“How dare you open your disgusting mouth and talk with my voice? Shut your mouth! You, who’s just a servant—a mere tool—should know your own place.”

Alexia’s fury still couldn’t be appeased despite the fact that she had already beaten Vivian—who wasn’t even at fault—and continued to fume even further.

“Ha! That lowly person was brave enough to boast about seducing the Duke. And yet, he was no more than an old and decrepit Duke himself! What the hell does she like or even see about that skinny, divorced man, which made her keep that tell-tale stories of love itself?”

Most of the things that were in Alexia’s hand had already been tossed to the floor. Some of them had even flown towards the innocent Vivian, who was still assuming a prostrating position.

“It’s annoying. Marriage and love—everything about this is just annoying!”

Alexia, who was screaming out loud due to her irrepressible rage, eventually stepped on Vivian’s back.

It was an action that had seemed to be vented unjustly upon another, but of course, Vivian couldn’t even move an inch at all.

“You! You’ve done really well, haven’t you? Did you get caught?”

“I didn’t get…”

“Have you forgotten my order to shut your miserable mouth?”

“Eugh.”

I merely answered your own question. In the end, her wicked hand flew ferociously, which ended up turning Vivian’s head forcibly. Blood that tasted slightly fishy began forming uncontrollably in her mouth, which she swallowed along with her painful groans.

“What kind of mistake have you created that made the Grand Duke never cancel his call, which was to visit him every single day? Thanks to you, I have to keep on going to him.”

When she was still fuming at the moment, there was a sudden knock on the door before a faint voice could be heard drifting in.

“My Lady. The Mistress is calling for you.”

“What? Can’t you see that I’m busy at the moment?”

“However, the Mistress is just curious whether or not you have a good visit for today…”

“…Haaah.”

Alexia’s hysterical antics had finally died down after hearing those words from the maid. Her ragged breathing due to the fuss from before was still lingering behind, but with just a few gestures and touches, she had quickly become much presentable.

“I got it. Tell her to wait for a little while longer.”

“Understood, My Lady.”

Alexia stared at Vivian, who was almost tumbled on the floor, with such a contemptuous look in her gaze.

“So, how was today? Just know that if you dare lie to me, that’ll be the day of your own death.”

Only when Alexia seemed couldn’t help but to ask what happened did Vivian parted her lips in response.

Despite the threat of having her killed, Vivian still couldn’t inform Alexia about the truth. Therefore, she roughly fabricated the story, which eventually made Alexia curl her lips in response.

“He still called you over despite doing all those dull things? I just can’t understand that.”

When her business with Vivian was finally over, Alexia straight away turned her head coldly.

“Someone, just put her away until I return.”
