Chapter 7 When I returned home for the traditional three - day visit , Mother took my hand and told me everything about Lewis and Janice's affair . " Elma , you were absolutely right about her . That little slut was so brazen and shameless , actually having an affair before marriage and committing such disgraceful acts . " This piano teacher was hired by Dad when I was sixteen and Janice was eighteen . When we first started learning from him , he always praised me for being clever and talented . But later , for some unknown reason , his attitude toward me completely changed . He would constantly tell Dad that I was rebellious and unmanageable , getting me punished . Looking back now , it must have been around that time when Janice made a physical deal with him to frame me . In my previous life , after I married into the Herty family , Janice regained her memory and seduced Lewis into divorcing me . Later , when I accidentally discovered that Janice was still entangled with this piano teacher and tried to tell Lewis , she struck me down and killed me . This time , I finally used this secret to make her taste her own medicine . 1/4 10:23 Chapter 7 +2 Bonus " Your father was so furious about this that he fell seriously ill . If it weren't for you and Nick coming home today , he'd probably still be bedridden ! " No wonder Dad looked so terrible during dinner earlier . It's understandable - the daughter he had cherished and raised with such care turned out to be such a shameless harlot , trampling his dignity in front of everyone in the capital . With Dad's pride - obsessed personality , he probably won't even want to leave the house anymore . I squeezed Mother's hand and said , " Mom , now that Janice has committed such a grave mistake , there's no way she can recover from this . You must not speak ill of her in front of Dad anymore , so as not to invite bad luck . " Mother smiled and nodded , " Don't worry , I know what I'm doing . But about Nick - I can see he's not as terrifying as the rumors suggest . He was gentle and considerate toward you at the dinner table . How is your life at the Samson family ? " A blush immediately spread across my face , " Mom , people love to spread gossip and rumors . I'm doing very well at the Samson family , so you don't need to worry about me . " " That's good to hear . Those rumors about Nick being naturally sterile and impotent - those must be false too , right ? " 2/4 10:23 Chapter 7 +2 Bonus These past few days , Nick and I have been sharing the same bed , yet he hasn't made any improper advances toward me . I'm afraid this rumor might actually be true . But to keep Mother from worrying , I still nodded , " Nick is strong and healthy . That's just another baseless rumor . " Hearing this , Mother was completely reassured . I chatted with her for a while longer until evening approached , then got up to prepare to return to the Samson family with Nick . But as soon as I stepped out of the room , I saw Lewis standing in the courtyard , staring at me intensely . " Elma ... " I looked at him coldly and said , " Mr. Herty , this is my home , and you're not welcome here . " With that , I immediately turned to leave . Now that I'm the president's wife of the Samson family , my every word and action represents the Samson family , so naturally I need to avoid any impropriety with him . But unexpectedly , Lewis was so audacious that he grabbed my wrist directly , and the strong smell of alcohol hit me . " Elma , after all these days , I've finally realized that the person I've always loved in my heart is you . Don't go back to the Samson family . Let me take you away , okay ? " 3/4 10:23 Chapter 7 &t +2 Bonus I forcefully shook off his grip , " I think you've completely lost your mind . Why would I give up being a perfectly good president's wife to elope with you ? " Lewis gripped my shoulders excitedly with both hands , " Elma , haven't you always liked me since we were children ? "
