The Knight family.
Old Man Knight, Felix, and Aurora were all in the living room. Aurora flipped through the calendar, "Grandpa, brother, I see five days later is an auspicious day for marriage. I’m choosing that day to marry Zane quickly, lest we delay and things change. Now Zane listens to everything I say."
Old Man Knight took a sip of tea and looked up at Aurora, "Aurora, you’re so eager to marry Zane Crawford, I think you’re really lack ambition."
"What’s wrong? I just like Zane Crawford!" Aurora’s face was full of happiness, looking like a beautiful bride-to-be.
Old Man Knight pondered for a mont, "Although Zane Crawford listens to you now, this Crawford-Knight alliance still requires the consent of the Crawford family over there. Zelda Willow is not a concern, but Jude Crawford is a man of unfathomable depth. He just hasn’t made a move yet. We shouldn’t confront him directly."
ntioning Jude Crawford, the kingpin of the business world, Aurora felt a bit scared, "Then grandpa, what should we do?"
"I will personally visit the Crawford family tomorrow to discuss your marriage with Jude Crawford. Zane Crawford is also the grandson-in-law I’ve chosen, so naturally, I hope you can marry him smoothly," said Old Man Knight.
Now Aurora was relieved. She glanced at Felix, who had been silent all this ti, "Brother, there’s no problem with that bag of powder, right? I can control Zane Crawford for life?"
Aurora was incredibly happy now. She had achieved her long-ti wish to marry Zane Crawford. It all felt like a dream, and she was afraid it would shatter in the blink of an eye.
Now, public opinion outside was very favorable to her. The focus of gossip was on the love triangle between Hayden Crawford, Serena Sterling, and Annette Rathborne. Everyone said Zane Crawford had found the right path, and Aurora was Zane’s true destined girl, saving him and making a wonderful story. Everyone outside was blessing their marriage, calling it a match made in heaven.
Of course, Aurora didn’t want to lose it all. She was a bit worried the bag of powder might fail to work, leaving her unable to control Zane Crawford.
Felix had no expression, his handso face still showing a sickly pallor, "No problem, I’ve bewitched Zane Crawford."
Bewitched?
Though Aurora hadn’t studied dicine, she had heard of this mysterious and legendary bewitching technique, rumored to control a person for life.
"Brother, I really admire you."
Old Man Knight was also very satisfied with this grandson, taking another leisurely sip of tea.
At this mont, Felix looked at Old Man Knight, "Grandfather, I’ve looked into Serena Sterling’s background. She, although entered T University, a wasted dical school, once scored a full 750 points in the joint exam. Does she know dicine?"
This really stumped Old Man Knight, who put down his teacup, "I’ve investigated Serena Sterling before. Although she’s Seraphina Linden’s daughter, Seraphina left her very early. Serena grew up in the countryside all these years, and I’ve never seen her practice needlework."
"It is indeed strange she scored a full 750 points," Felix said, pointing to the exam paper, "Even I couldn’t get a perfect score of 750."
Old Man Knight also found it odd. After all, Serena’s mother is Seraphina Linden, who possesses incredible dical skills. Serena’s genetic inheritance is strong, and caution is warranted.
However, because Serena had never demonstrated any skills, no one knew what her dical abilities were like.
As the living room fell silent, the door of the Knight family’s villa suddenly opened, and Yvonne Knight returned ho with Annette Rathborne.
Annette plopped down on the sofa, her eyes red as if she’d been crying, "Grandfather, brother Felix, this ti you must help . Hayden Crawford has announced our engagent cancellation, and he was even tricked into bed by Serena Sterling. I’m really furious!"
Annette was of course furious. Hayden had been intimate with Serena Sterling, which ant he’s in excellent health, but that day he had taken her to the male departnt of the hospital to scare her, feeling deeply humiliated!
Hayden had spoken of canceling the engagent, but she hadn’t agreed at all. How could he unilaterally dissolve their engagent?
Now the entire City of Aethelgard knew she was abandoned, and Hayden didn’t want her anymore. Annette Rathborne was a wealthy heiress, a true princess, now turned into a rejected woman.
How would she ever fit into Aethelgard now?
Annette clung to Old Man Knight’s arm, acting spoiled, "Grandfather, I don’t care. You have to co up with a plan for now. You cannot play favorites; Aurora’s wish has co true, she’s marrying Zane, and you must take care of this granddaughter’s lifelong happiness too. I like Hayden Crawford; I want to marry Hayden. If Aurora and I can simultaneously wed those two geniuses into the Crawford family as young mistresses, wouldn’t it be great?"
Old Man Knight looked at Felix, "Felix, you should think of a plan for Annette."
Everyone was eagerly looking at Felix. Now, Felix was the backbone of the Knight family, full of strategies.
Felix glanced at Annette, "I do have a plan..."
"Really?" Annette’s eyes brightened.
"But you might not agree to this."
"Why wouldn’t I? As long as I can keep brother Hayden and marry him, I’m willing to do anything," Annette expressed her determination.
"Alright then." Felix took out a sharp knife and with a clang tossed it onto the coffee table in front of them, "You should commit suicide."
What?
Yvonne leapt up, "Felix, what kind of plan is this? How can you let Annette commit suicide?"
Annette nodded frantically, hiding behind Yvonne, terrified. Raised in luxury, she feared pain the most; how could she commit suicide?
Felix curled his lips into a slight smile, as if thinking of sothing amusing, "Don’t worry, you won’t die. It’s just about using the knife to make a cut on your wrist, then we’ll send you to the hospital, and entertainnt news will explode. Serena Sterling stole your fiancé and almost drove you to suicide, bearing the reputation of being a killer. Do you think this will be disastrous for Serena? On this vast City of Aethelgard, she won’t have a place to stay."
Once Annette cuts her wrist in a suicide attempt, she will dominate public opinion, and making Serena Sterling suffer will be a matter of monts.
Old Man Knight approved of the idea, nodding, "Annette, Felix’s idea is great. Just bear a little pain and do it."
Although Yvonne didn’t wish for her daughter to be hurt, she had to admit Felix’s idea was viciously brilliant, making one want to applaud.
