The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Seeing Eri's expression, Hakuto couldn't help but say helplessly: "Was I not talking nicely? This stupid woman acts as if I went out of my way to lie to her. Just looking at her pisses me off."

"Mori Kogoro and Kudo Yusaku had your lives completely arranged. You're lucky. Otherwise, Mrs. Yukiko would probably have become some so-called big shot's plaything by now."

"No wonder Kudo Yusaku didn't say a single word when I took Mrs. Yukiko away. He didn't care at all."

Mrs. Yukiko's fists clenched tightly. Her eyes instantly turned red. On her fair palms, because she was squeezing too hard, her knuckles turned white, and the veins beneath her skin were faintly visible.

Eri remained silent, looking at Mrs. Yukiko with eyes full of empathy born of shared suffering.

The princess and queen of Teitan High School…

In the end, they were nothing but clowns casually arranged by Kogoro and Yusaku. Mrs. Yukiko and Eri had been chosen from the very beginning.

The only difference was that one was chosen to become a virtuous wife and mother to assist Kogoro, while the other was chosen to be used as a socialite, a tool to win people over when necessary.

It was just Mrs. Yukiko's good luck that after all these years, there had never been a situation that required using her to win someone over.

If not for the information Hakuto had extracted through interrogation, Mrs. Yukiko probably wouldn't have learned about this until Yusaku had drugged her and sent her to some big shot's presence.

Eri patted Mrs. Yukiko's shoulder and said: "At least we're still lucky. We didn't have to wait until the last moment to discover their true nature."

With Eri's words, Mrs. Yukiko could no longer restrain the sadness in her heart and began to cry!

Watching Mrs. Yukiko crying in Eri's arms, Hakuto pursed his lips and silently mouthed: "Idiot!"

Eri glared fiercely at Hakuto. Hakuto shrugged, then walked to the sofa, sat down, took out his phone, and started playing with it.

After crying for a while, Mrs. Yukiko's sobs gradually stopped. Then Eri patted her back and comforted her.

After composing herself, Mrs. Yukiko asked Hakuto: "What's the situation with Shinichi now?"

"Kudo Shinichi would be better off dead than alive."

A playful smile appeared on Hakuto's lips. Mrs. Yukiko fell silent. She certainly understood under what circumstances dying would be happier than living.

But she hadn't expected Shinichi to encounter such a fate.

Mrs. Yukiko looked at Hakuto with extremely complicated eyes. Logically, since her son had been turned into this by Hakuto, she should hate him.

But her resentment towards Yusaku had also transferred to Shinichi, and what Hakuto had done also made her feel grateful.

For a moment, gratitude and hatred mixed in Mrs. Yukiko's heart. Finally, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

Seeing Mrs. Yukiko like this, Eri smiled bitterly.

"I don't even know what Yukiko did to offend you, making you target her like this."

"You're slandering me. Do you know you're slandering me? How is this me targeting her? I'm just..."

Seeing Eri's expression that said 'Go on, make up more stories, see if I believe you', Hakuto spread his hands: "Alright, I admit I did it on purpose. Who told that stupid woman Mrs. Yukiko to act like I'm after her body? What the hell. Does she really think she's some kind of hot commodity?"

The corner of Eri's eye twitched uncontrollably. Hakuto was indeed petty to the point of avenging the slightest grievance!

How could Eri not know that Hakuto was deliberately targeting Mrs. Yukiko?

"Tell me, why are you so petty? You have to split hairs even with a woman."

Eri muttered something and finally carried Mrs. Yukiko to a room.

By the time Mrs. Yukiko woke up again, she didn't know how much time had passed. Walking out of the room, she saw Hakuto and Eri acting like a married couple—one sitting on the sofa watching TV, the other cooking in the kitchen. This scene directly stimulated Mrs. Yukiko.

Suppressing that uncomfortable feeling in her heart, Mrs. Yukiko still couldn't suppress another thought: 'Why was I chosen to be the socialite instead of Eri?'

Startled by this thought, Mrs. Yukiko looked at Eri and was also shocked, 'When had she become like this?'

Thinking this, Mrs. Yukiko silently looked at Eri and walked to the sofa. Suddenly, a remark from Hakuto beside her made her whole body go cold from head to toe.

"You were just thinking, why was I chosen to be the socialite instead of Eri!"

Mrs. Yukiko's face turned pale, unable to refute.

"How ugly!"

Just then, Eri walked out of the kitchen, rolled her eyes at Hakuto, and said: "That's enough. Why do you keep targeting a woman? You're so petty!"

Hakuto whistled and said nothing.

Then Eri looked at the pale-faced Mrs. Yukiko and said: "Don't take it to heart. This is normal. After a sudden major upheaval, normal people will have some resentment in their hearts. They might be a bit extreme for a while. As long as their mind isn't twisted, they'll gradually recover."

Hakuto said sarcastically from the side: "You talk as if you're some kind of psychology expert!"

"You shut up!"

Eri was truly speechless. Hakuto really showed no mercy. Hakuto shrugged and didn't say anything more.

Mrs. Yukiko, however, remained silent.

Clearly, Hakuto's words had made Mrs. Yukiko realize the ugliness in her heart.

"I'm sorry, Eri. Just now I..."

"No need to apologize. He's deliberately targeting you. Don't mind him. The food is ready. Let's eat."

Eri pulled Mrs. Yukiko to eat, not even calling Hakuto.
