THHAAWMF

Chapter 21

Leila shook his hand and took him to her room. She was too busy to point to the evidence that she had thrown on the desk at random.

"What are you going to do about this!"

"..."

Duval, who was methodically checking the evidence, invaded in front of the document signed in Count Valentine's handwriting.

They could misinterpret the testimony of the witnesses who witnessed the date. The dialogue in the recording table also could have ended with a bit of romantic advice between friends.

But if the parties involved in such an affair signed in person and even left a document-

'They'll see it as hard evidence and go to the office. So they asked to take responsibility for the divorce and give her alimony.'

"You really don't have money? Really?"

Leila asked an urgent question.

If she didn't offer alimony, under imperial law, that piece of evidence would be made public in the fullness of time, and Leila's path of mixed marriages would be blocked.

The road to his sister's nuptials would be blocked, meaning that there would be no way for Essit to join with other families.

Duval rolled his head, "Is there any hole where the money can come from?" But it was too large a sum to come to mind easily.

After about a dozen minutes of talk, he was forced to take the last resort out of Leila's scream, "You really don't have any?"

"Tell father."

"N-no!"

Leila flagged.

What was their father like? He was the kind of person who would jump up from his grave for money.

The reason he tried to ask Count Valentine out this time was because of her desire to make money and get her father's approval.

But he wanted her to return the 10 billion by saying all that?

"I might really get kicked out!"

"I'll tell him that we'll recover."

"How! I used up all my money believing that I would get rid of my share if the business went well!"

Phew, Duval, who sighed as if he was annoyed, swept his hair roughly.

He was going crazy about Tyriel whining about whether he loved her or when he was going to break up with Ciella. It was going to drive him crazy because even his sister was like this.

"I'll help you, stop whining. But how did they collect the evidence?"

"I don't know. Didn't this woman hire the Ciel Love Manipulation Guild?"

"I don't think so."

Duval flatly denied it.

Aria Valentine didn't have that much money to ask the Ciel Love Manipulation Guild.

'Wait. Did she make a prepayment to pay back with alimony?'

It was quite possible and he needed to check it out.

To do so, he had to go to the Lavirins mansion first. He had to get through Ciella, who was guarding Aria like a gatekeeper.

"I'll find out, so you just tell father."

"I'm going to tell him that I started it because you told me to."

"... Do as you please."

He was not afraid, although his father would be surprised to learn that he was about to lose 10 billion for her sake.
