Chapter 175: Wait, Seriously?
Seeing Kristen’s mix of shock and confusion, even fear, Filomina hurriedly said, “There must be a reason he didn’t tell you. Trust me. He has to be a good person since he offers help to strangers. He’ll take responsibility.”
“I know that. It’s just that...”
Thinking of Veronica’s complicated relationship with Wayne left Kristen dumbfounded. The siblings had to know something this important, which meant that even with that knowledge...
Is that how high society operates? Ridiculous!
Kristen wasn’t yet recovered from her shock, her mouth open in an O adorably. To Filomina, she seemed like a young woman whose view of love was falling apart. She regretted bringing up the matter. The fact that Wayne didn’t tell Kristen his true identity had to mean that he didn’t want to take responsibility—Kristen wouldn’t be the future mistress of the Lando family.
If she continued to urge the young woman to throw herself into the burning pit, her story would end in tragedy.
But for the church...
Filomina clenched her teeth. She was about to make the order when she caught herself. She had gotten older indeed; she was acting more and more like a vicious old witch.
Sighing, she patted Kristen on the shoulder. “Forget it. You shouldn’t shoulder the responsibility. Just be yourself and don’t give too much of yourself away.”
Kristen finally recovered, confused by Filomina’s response. “High Reverend, are you canceling the retaliation plan?”
Why? It’s perfect. Wayne and Veronica are destined to be apart, and without her as a rival, I stand a good chance.
Vera? Vera isn’t even a threat. It’ll be easy to take her out of the competition with a trick.
