At that moment, when Min-ha was about to raise her voice a little due to his one-sided criticism, she kept her mouth shut upon hearing Seth’s words.
Really…..When would Minase Persen’s evil deeds end? How is it that people are always the same? The moment Min-ha heard his words, she could understand why he frowned at her words earlier.
‘Yeah, I wouldn’t believe it either.’
Min-ha, who was avoiding the eyes of Seth, let out a sigh and answered him, who glared at her.
“……Well, yes, I wouldn’t trust myself either. That’s true, but──”
“……But?”
“It’s true that I cleaned the northern annex. We can have someone check it. I don’t know if you would be satisfied or not, but I’ve wiped the dust clean. I also ventilated it.”
“………”
“And, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to, but I went in there on my own free will. I didn’t know it was where your mother lived.”
“……What?”
“So, we’re done here, right? Can I leave now? Perhaps it’s because I moved my body a lot after a long time, but I’m a little tired.”
Before turning away from Seth, Min-ha, who was tired of having a useless verbal argument and of being criticized for things that weren’t her fault, bowed down first.
At that moment, Seth’s eyes, which were glaring at her at first, now seemed surprised. But, since Min-ha is mentally exhausted, she didn’t care about it anymore. Moreover, she wanted to leave now since she still had to fix the doll that she had promised to give tomorrow.
Then, Seth called her in a slightly subdued voice.
“Wait! Where are you going? We aren’t done here yet!”
At Seth’s words, Min-ha sighed loudly. Although she could understand why he did it a little while ago, she honestly didn’t know why he still didn’t let her leave and what more he still wanted to say.
I really didn’t want to mention it because it seemed petty, but he obstinately called me in. In that case, I didn’t have a choice but to say the ‘words he wanted to hear’. Thinking about it like that, Minha turned her head and stared straight at Seth, who was looking at her as she spoke.
“I know what you’re feeling right now. I know you’ve been hurt a lot, and I know you want to vent your anger. It’s worth it. I understand.”
“…….!”
“However, why don’t you stop blaming people based on what they’ve done before and without any tangible evidence?”
“……..What?”
“I don’t know how I used to be, but I can assure you that I won’t do anything you doubt I’d do right now. In other words, I’m telling you to relax because I don’t want to meet another man without getting divorced. I don’t want to do anything against my conscience which includes bullying your brother, not just extramarital affairs.”
“………”
“So, don’t bother your servants with useless doubts, okay?”
“……..You──”
“Well, I think I’ve said everything you wanted to hear, so I’m going to leave.”
Min-ha glanced at Seth, who had a puzzled look upon hearing her words, and turned straight away. Then, she walked away, opened the door, and went outside.
“……..Oh.”
Then, the servants who were gathered in front of the door stopped moving at the same time. At the sight, Min-ha laughed as if she was dumbfounded by it.
How many people have gathered to find me? Judging by the number of people gathered, they had called in most of their servants and had them find her.
‘You don’t want me to do anything.’
Upon seeing Min-ha, the servants split on opposite sides. Min-ha passed uncomfortably between the servants who made way.
In the meantime, there was a particular person who caught her attention. It was suspicious of someone to hide one’s body and avoid someone’s gaze. So, Min-ha intentionally approached her and tapped the shoulder of a middle-aged woman, who kept trying to hide her body, with her hand.
“Gasp!”
“……Haha.”
I got you, you bitch.
When the middle-aged woman saw Min-ha’s face, she shouted with a pale face.
“……..M-Madam!”
“Well, do you have something to say? Can you come to my room with me?”
No matter how much you despised me, I can’t believe you purposely told me the wrong directions when I genuinely asked for them. I wasn’t really upset about it, but I wanted to say something so that she wouldn’t repeat her actions in the future.
Other than that, I thought I might as well get some help to fix this doll because I needed thread, a needle, and cloth. Min-ha smiled with a face full of hidden intentions and held the middle-aged woman’s hand tightly to help her stand up.
After that, she turned and shook her head. What I meant was I need you to show me the way to my room. Then, the middle-aged woman, who’s face became more pale, took the lead with a sigh as if she was being taken to a slaughterhouse, and Min-ha followed suit.

And at that moment, Seth looked at the door where Min-ha had left with a shocked face.
“……..Ha.”
What in the world was that a while ago? And what was with that attitude of hers? Seth thought so, recalling what his wife, Minase Persen, had said to him a little while ago.
His wife, Minase Persen.
The young lady of the Florence Family, Minase Florence.
She was a woman with no merit but a beautiful face, a slender body, a soft voice, pitiful green eyes that can seduce any man, and her status as the Marchioness of Florence.
A light-hearted woman who has shallow thoughts and likes to talk about other people’s weaknesses, plenipotent thinking with nothing but luxury and pleasure, and trusts and promises anyone when money is involved.
I was familiar with the rumor, but I still chose her because she needed status. And I was confident inside. She’s gorgeous but she’s got poisonous thorns hidden beneath her face.
A political marriage that he was so confident in. As time passed by, he started placing his trust on her. There has been no love for three years, but she promised to not commit any betrayal as a family member.
I almost fell for it. She always acted like she had turned over a new leaf and had abandoned her fast.
However, such trust and confidence he had on her was betrayed, so he decided to abandon her. Even in the process of divorce, she betrayed him, who once treated her like his family and had always been caring for her, once again. From the beginning, her purpose was his money, and the reason why she didn’t want to break up with him was because she didn’t want to throw away the luxury she had enjoyed.
Even his affection for her became completely gone, so he finally decided to shake her out of his life.
But, why does she say and do such things now?
Of course, he was aware that she was still deceiving him so that she could take away his property.
However, I don’t know why but whenever I keep looking at her eyes, it feels strange.
It was the first time Seth doubted his sharp sense of intuition that had saved his life many times.

“…….I feel like I’m possessed.”
I once thought that I knew the woman named Minase Persen the best in the whole world.
She still seemed to have another mask she hadn’t shown me.
‘However, being deceived by such a mask is enough of a past experience.’
If it had been before, I might have been fooled again by those naive-looking eyes of hers, but it’s different now. Seth muttered alone, denying his gut feeling that was different from what he thought.
