I Don't Want the Obsession of a Twisted Archduke

Chapter 3

However, I didn't know much about Riddell's situation in the family.

"It's already a fact that everyone knows that she's shallow, stupid, and... Ahhh!!" Suddenly, Vestia screamed.

"Riddell Spencer! What are you doing? My dress is wet because of you!"

'What's the matter with her? I just nudge her cup a little.'

I replied with a relaxed smile, "I'm sorry sister. I didn't know there was a glass of water beside me."

"Don't talk nonsense and wipe my dress right away!"

"Why should I?"

There were many maids around her. Why should I be the one who wipes it?

Vestia looked quite speechless for a moment.

'You must be surprised.'

This was the first act of retaliation by Riddell, who was always obedient, against her.

"Riddell Spencer. Watch your mouth! Why are you speaking like that to your sister?"

There's a certain proverb that said that people with similar traits and background would often side with each other. This time, the stepmother spoke.

"You seem to have become vulgar after you went to the villa. Who do you think you're taking after?" The stepmother's voice was filled with rage.

'I'm not afraid of you.'

I calmly answered back, "Who do I take after? Why, it's you, mother."

The atmosphere in the dining room suddenly became chilly.

She blinked while speechless, as if she doubted what she just heard.

I repeated once more to let her know that she heard me correctly.

"You're the one that raised me. Do you think that I have a bad personality? Or do you want to tell me that I took after my father?"

"Riddell!"

She looked quite furious when she saw me smile, I already said what I wanted to say after all.

"How dare you talk back to your mother!"

"What do you mean talk back? I'm just simply answering mother's question."

"What?"

"Then, does this mean I can ignore your question too? Can I?"

'Bang.'

The Viscount abruptly hit the table, it seemed that he couldn't stand my attitude anymore. Then, he glared at me with fierce eyes.

'It's really obvious what you're going to do.'

The moment he raised his hands, I quickly spoke up, "Father, you should think carefully before you hit me. What if I get scars on my body?"

"What?"

"Remember the Archduke, do you think he wants to marry a woman with scars all over her body?"

"Does this mean you're going to marry off Viesta instead of me?"

When I glanced at Viesta, she trembled as she opened her mouth, realizing the situation.

"Calm down Dad. What if she gets hurt?" Her trembling voice could be clearly heard.

"Riddell! Don't let your careless behavior get you divorced!" The Viscount said with anger.
