Chapter 202: This Game Was Lost Thoroughly
"Who knew that my sister would be so blind as to mistake someone else, and who knew Nora had the audacity to act so recklessly, compromising the reputation of our Royal Family?" Theresa sighed with real emotion, feeling both self-reproachful and furious.
"Now she has paid the price, but I am the one left to bear the consequences. It’s fine for me to bear them, since she was my responsibility."
Theresa wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
To think she didn’t hesitate to shift all the blame onto a dead person, portraying herself as the innocent one unfairly implicated.
"What a pity that I couldn’t protect her and allowed her to die innocently. Elbert, what kind of new recruits did you bring in this year? They’re not Military Academy Students at all, but outright thugs!"
A hint of mockery flashed in Hughes’s eyes as he asked half-jokingly, half-seriously, "Sister, you really didn’t know Lin Fu’s true identity?"
"Of course I didn’t know. I found out only afterward. If I had known, none of this would have happened. These past few days, I’ve been full of guilt. Elbert, you have no idea how much I’ve regretted, how upset I’ve been," she said, a single tear rolling down.
Hughes’s cold fingers gently wiped away Theresa’s tears with a sinister tone, "It’s good that you can recognize your mistake. Father is truly angry."
