Ever since leaving Zervanie's mansion, Adeline hadn't asked Felyn about Zervanie, nor had she tried to learn more about their relationship. She felt these were all matters from Felyn's past, and Felyn had shown complete indifference toward Zervanie, as if he didn't want to have too much entanglement with her.
But now that Zervanie had come right up to her and started talking about marriage, Adeline couldn't just sit by and watch.
She had thought the two of them only had some emotional entanglement, but marriage?
The person Felyn wants to marry is clearly me!
"What exactly is your relationship with Felyn?"
Adeline snapped out of her shock and began to inquire.
"He was my assistant, and we had a very good relationship before."
Zervanie immediately replied.
"He would tuck me in, clean my room, ask me with a smile every day what I wanted to eat, and he could remember all my preferences, taking care of everything for me."
Zervanie went on and on about how Felyn had cared for her in the past, completely failing to notice that Adeline's crossed legs beside her were becoming increasingly tense.
"But I think I was a bit too willful. After I felt his tolerance toward me, I got a little carried away."
Zervanie let out a sob and curled her body up.
Adeline glanced coldly at Zervanie beside her, a cold smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"He left me, Sister Adeline. I already know I was wrong. I shouldn't have failed to consider his feelings..."
Adeline really wanted to punch this Zervanie who was hanging her head right in the head.
What nonsense are you talking about?!
Felyn is clearly mine! He's the one who's tolerant toward me! His eyes are full of love when he looks at me!
Felyn tolerant of you? That was just pity because he felt sorry for you—that was sympathy, compassion for a miserable life, nothing more!
Adeline's inner defenses were starting to crack.
She didn't believe Zervanie's words, but just thinking that Felyn might have done some intimate things with Zervanie in the past made her heart inexplicably irritated.
"Sister Adeline, you came with Felyn that day. Do you two have a good relationship?"
Of course! Felyn loves me very much—can't you tell?
"We have a very good relationship."
"That's wonderful, Sister Adeline. I have a small request." Zervanie hugged Adeline's arm and gently shook it, her moist eyes looking up at her from Adeline's shoulder.
"As long as you agree to this request, I'll do anything you ask me to do. I can do anything." Zervanie bit her lip and gripped Adeline's shoulder tightly.
"I want, I want you to help me put in a good word with Felyn, help ease the relationship between me and Felyn. He's still angry with me right now, but I think he still loves me in his heart. I don't want the two of us to be separated forever because of this small misunderstanding."
Adeline let out a cold laugh.
Can you do anything?
Then go die! What nonsense are you even talking about? Felyn loves you in his heart?
I won't pursue past matters, and I don't want to know about your relationship with Felyn.
But now Felyn clearly loves me!
How can you be so narcissistic? Are you the self-delusional type?
How ridiculous!
Adeline gently pulled away Zervanie's hands, feeling no emotion whatsoever upon seeing her pitiful appearance.
This wasn't because Zervanie's plan had problems.
Everything she had done was excellent—both her emotions and her pleas were well-executed.
But she had chosen the wrong target.
She didn't know about the relationship between Adeline and Felyn.
"I'll help you speak to him."
Adeline gently patted Zervanie's head and pulled her into an embrace.
Except I won't be saying good things—I'll be saying bad things about you.
That's right, I, Adeline, can also be a bad woman who talks badly about others behind their backs!
Adeline normally wouldn't do such a thing—she had never badmouthed anyone in front of others before.
But now her angry emotions and obsessive feelings for Felyn had already planted such thoughts in her mind, already turning her into a bad woman!
Under her silver-white hair, Zervanie's mouth curved into a triumphant smile.
Success!
Adeline was indeed moved by my acting and story!
Next, she would say things like "I think Miss Zervanie is a very nice girl, and she knows she was wrong, so please forgive her" in front of Felyn.
Then Felyn wouldn't be so resistant to me in his heart.
After that, it would only be a matter of time before he fell in love with me again.
Hehe, Felyn, you actually treated me as a tool to please other women.
Once you fall in love with me, I won't let you off easily.
First I'll marry you and make you stay by my side for life.
Then you'll have to wash my panties and socks for the rest of your life.
Even when sleeping, you'll have to hold me close!
When winter comes, I'll put my ice-cold feet on your legs and make you warm them with your body heat.
Zervanie's eyes kept flashing with fantasies—she was getting carried away with her imagination.
"Sister Adeline, I've been thinking, and I really do want to participate in the school celebration after all. I'll follow all your arrangements. And I want to apologize for my previous behavior—after all, I did such things to you..."
"It's fine." Adeline showed a gentle smile, as if she hadn't taken it to heart at all.
Follow all my arrangements?
Then you can sing from sunrise to sunset!
Don't stop until you've sung for twelve full hours!
No wait, I should make her sing while watching me and Felyn intimately sharing a candlelit dinner!
"Sister Adeline, I still have some things to take care of, so I'll go now. Please take care of the rest for me."
"Mm." Adeline waved her hand, but her thoughts were on something entirely different.
Just watch as I completely destroy you in front of Felyn.
Zervanie skipped away happily. She had originally come today to see if there was a chance to make contact with Felyn, but now that she had won over Adeline, her goal had been achieved.
Adeline took a deep breath, but her emotions weren't so easily calmed.
This super popular songstress Zervanie was much better at acting than she was.
Was she actually trying to steal away my Felyn now?
One Viloti was already troublesome enough, and now there was another Zervanie.
Adeline felt a deep sense of crisis.
The competitive obsession that had gradually been fading within her suddenly exploded again at this moment.
I won't let anyone steal Felyn away.
Felyn can only be mine!
Tonight... tonight I'm going to hold Felyn firmly in my grasp!
