The Impact Of The Villainess' Fake Marriage On The Ending

Chapter 74

"I'm sorry. This conversation took longer than I thought."

"It's all right. Don't be sorry. It's not like that at all."

Kael strode into the study and sat across from Adeline. He tried to hide it, but there were signs of urgency everywhere.

"Did you find the information you wanted?"

"Unfortunately, there were no results. I think it's hidden quite a bit deeper than I thought."

Kael frowned slightly and leaned on the sofa.

The place he went to examine today was where a report had been received regarding the suspect who had framed Adeline as a murderer. After hearing Vero's report, Kael headed straight there.

However, contrary to expectations, there were no results. Kael's dense information network barely found any clues.

"I need to take a little more time to look into it. I feel like we need to slowly surround them."

Adeline nodded. It was the person who killed the ten nobles and tried to tie the murders to the Tien family. It would never be an easy opponent.

"Perhaps your brainwashing could be a clue. I don't think the person who accused you of being a murderer and the one who attacked your carriage that day have no connection at all."

In fact, Adeline was thinking the same as Kael. There was a time difference of close to 10 years, but no matter how much she thought about it, it didn't seem to be a separate event.

"What were the contents? Of your brainwashing?"

Of course, she had expected him to ask, and she had prepared herself for it, but Adeline's mouth froze when Kael asked seriously.

She still had no idea how to tell this long, and rather complicated, story.

"Like I said before, it was about me being possessed by a book. The was a character named 'Adeline Tien' in the book 'Beyond Orange', and I was possessed by that character."

"Then, the book you found at the bookstore that time...?"

"Ah, yes. That's right. It was because of that."

Adeline looked at Kael with a somewhat surprised expression. She did not know that he clearly remembered the brief moments in the bookstore.

"It was weird. The 'Beyond Orange' I knew of was so different from the one that existed here. The characters were different, the story was different, and the ending was different."

"What was the story you knew? That would have been the basis of the brainwashing."

Adeline took a deep breath before answering. It was going to be a long story, so it was necessary to prepare.

"It was a love story."

"A love story?"

"You and Lady Felix were the main characters. And I was a villainess who got in your way."

Kael couldn't hide his surprise at the brief summary. He looked at Adeline suspiciously.

"There was a predetermined ending to the love story, and I felt that I had to achieve it the same way. That's how I believed the possession would end."

"A predetermined ending? And what was that?"

"The ending where you killed me."

His blue-grey eyes shook visibly. It was a rough agitation not easily seen in Kael.
