Chapter 18

However, it was an inevitable choice that was required to protect Abella from the eyes of people, especially from her family.

Obviously, those nasty Amerigo’s relatives would dry up Abella’s blood and kill her.

Like they had done throughout her childhood.

They have said countless times that she had to whip Abella and send her out of the mansion.

Some argued that her healthy child should be killed.

She’s an Amerigo, but she couldn’t let her live as an Amerigo.

Instead of raising Abella in the arms of her parents, Mrs. Amerigo had to promise them.

“Never, I would never raise Abella like an Amerigo’s child.”

She’s going to completely turn away from Abella so that Abella could leave on her own.

Even if Lorelia was wrong, for her, a hillbilly who had nothing, this was the only way to protect her daughter.

They pushed Lorelia to the limit, not saying a word to her husband who was Amerigo’s legitimate bloodline. And her husband… turned away from Lorelia.

Her husband was a good father for the children, but not a good husband for Lorelia.

He had lived as a nobleman all his life, so he didn’t understand Lorelia’s anxiety.

He believed that Amerigo’s relatives couldn’t have been able to hurt Lorelia.

No nobleman could do such a vulgar thing.

However, that was true only for true nobles like her husband.

For the aristocrats like their relatives, who were parasites with the name of Amerigo, this was the only way to survive.

The difference in understanding pushed Lorelia into hell.

What Lorelia could do for Abella was to give her a chance to leave.

Then Carlo was born.

Lorelia had two children to protect from Amerigo.

Relatives who were aiming for Amerigo couldn’t talk about Carlo.

Abella had a flaw, a child of the curse, but Carlo didn’t.

Additionally, Abella was named the successor.

People pointed to Abella as their prey. Carlo was a secondary problem.

Lorelia… threw Abella as food to protect Carlo.

It wasn’t wrong to say that all the rumors about Abella were derived from Armerigo’s relatives.

After Abella left, the beasts of Amerigo were silent.

They no longer put Abella in their mouth, nor did they bother Carlo and Mrs. Amerigo over Abella problems.

She was relieved to be liberated.

But Abella came back.

“I will protect this Amerigo.”

“Aren’t you Simon?”

Those words struck Mrs. Amerigo’s chest.

Gilmus’s serpentine eyes glanced at the child against her chest.

Mrs. Amerigo’s blood cooled down.

She realized why he told her to bring Simon today.

It was a mistake by Mrs. Amerigo.

“I have to see Simon, who inherited Carlo’s blood, succeed the dukedom safely.”

They could harm Simon as well.

Her heart, tired with fear, beat faster.

“Granny…..”

Despite the child’s cry, Mrs. Amerigo couldn’t even budge.

Mrs. Amerigo swallowed her saliva.

She was sorry for Abella, but Mrs. Amerigo had to protect Simon.

Mrs. Amerigo asked in a repressed voice.

“What should I do?”

Abella mustn’t go back. Until Simon grows up…… Abella should be here.

“Send Abella back to Vincent. This time, Abella’s operation became Amerigo’s, right? So, tell her to go back to Vincent again.”

‘You thieving bastards.’

She could feel their desire to swallow Abella and covet Amerigo.

Do you think they’d leave Simon alone after Abella leaves?

No. It couldn’t be. Next after Abella, would be this young Simon.

Lorelia lowered her eyes.

Again…. Lorelia decided to throw Abella as their food instead of Simon.

‘I’m sorry, Abella.’

However, the hillbilly Lorelia had nothing, and they had a lot.

‘I’ll go to hell and pay you back for this sin.’

Lorelia swallowed hot saliva.

“I will try my best. However, as you know, Abella is stubborn. I need time.”

“I’m glad you understand. Help Abella so she doesn’t ruin the Amerigo tradition any further.”

Count Gilmus’s eyes were filled with contempt and satisfaction.

Mrs. Amerigo’s legs trembled.

This was hell.

This was the end of the country girl who fell in love with the noble little duke who was passing by the rural estates.

It wasn’t just about love.

It was so damning that she wanted to kill herself in her reckless youth times.

She knew love wasn’t everything now.

Lorelia bit her lips to the point of bleeding.
