Chapter 25

* * *

“Thank you, Alice.”

Alice hid Juan in the carriage and secretly brought him into the estate.

The reason was simple.

‘Yes, I can’t let Uncle be sent away like this.’

For reconciliation. For family.

‘Right. Surely Father will regret driving Uncle away like that once his anger subsides.’

So I have to prevent that from happening.

It’s something only I can do.

Calming family discord. Something only good and strong people can do.

‘In this house, I’m the only one who can do it.’

With that thought, Alice felt strength surging through her entire body. It was energy enough to forget even the failure of the Moonlight Flower business.

That wasn’t all.

Hadn’t they said that none other than Uncle Juan was the one who led the crash in Moonlight Flower prices!

She just needed to bring Uncle back and put him before everyone. Then all his misdeeds would be revealed.

All the arrows of criticism would turn toward Uncle.

Just imagining it tore at her heart, but that was the path to implementing justice.

“Just trust me, Uncle.”

Alice grasped Juan’s thick hand tightly and sparkled her eyes.

“If you wait in my room for a moment, I’ll quickly bring Father or Mother.”

“Yes, I’d be grateful if you would do that, Alice.”

Juan spoke with a moved expression.

“I’ll wait here quietly.”

* * *

Of course, Juan didn’t wait quietly.

As soon as Alice disappeared from sight, he immediately left the room.

‘My brother-in-law will drive me out again.’

No, maybe he really would kill him.

He had said he’d kill him if he showed his face again.

Juan knew very well what Karl Windsor was like when he was a soldier.

During his military days, Karl was cruel and merciless. He was famous for deliberately chasing down fleeing enemy soldiers and cutting off their heads.

Some even spread vicious rumors that he enjoyed killing.

Now he lived as if such things had never happened, but where would his true nature go?

In other words, Karl was the kind of person who would really kill his own brother-in-law without hesitation!

‘No, this Juan cannot end here!’

There was still a way to survive.

The love potion.

If he could somehow make Danae drink it, all the failures he had experienced so far would return to zero.

No, what was zero? He would reach the highest point of his life that would never come again.

Gold and silver treasures he had never touched would pour forth.

‘Yes. This actually worked out well. This Juan is a person destined for great things. I’m not someone meant to work under a mere brother-in-law.’

So he risked danger and headed toward Danae’s bedroom.

But then.

“You know what?”

An employee’s voice could be heard from the corridor!

Juan quickly hid behind a pillar.

“I heard Miss Alice sold Moonlight Flowers to her friends.”

What?

“I heard about it too. She took money and sold them to the close friends who attended the tea party?”

Fortunately, the voices were getting farther away. They seemed not to have noticed Juan was there.

‘What did I just hear?’

Behind the pillar, Juan’s lips curled up.

Alice, that brazen thing. She had been secretly selling Moonlight Flowers?

After doing such things, she dared to mock him?

What would happen if this fact became known?

He briefly thought about ways to punish Alice, then soon dismissed the idea.

‘No. First, getting Danae is what’s important.’

He tiptoed stealthily toward her bedroom.

After that, miraculously, he didn’t run into anyone.

‘Heaven’s fortune follows me!’

He quietly opened the door to Danae’s bedroom and entered.

Danae was standing by the window, looking outside.

‘Perfect!’

That beautiful figure from behind made his mouth water.

Now that will be mine!

“Don’t scream.”

He attacked Danae from behind. Then he gripped her slender neck tightly and whispered.

“If you scream, I’ll shoot.”

Then he pressed the hard pistol firmly against her lower back.

He could feel her delicate body trembling.

This heightened Juan’s excitement.

He should have done this from the start.

She was just a woman.

Just a woman he could subdue with force, yet he had taken too long a detour all this time!

“You should have not ignored my love, Danae.”

Juan kept the gun aimed at Danae while hurriedly fumbling in his pocket. He intended to take out the love potion.

“Playing with a man’s heart leads to this kind of trouble. You shouldn’t have toyed with my love!”

Damn it, where is the medicine bottle!

Perhaps because the bottle containing the potion was so small, he couldn’t easily grasp it.

“Love, my foot.”

Then Danae retorted.

“You covet my wealth, yet you wrap it up so well as love.”

“Won’t you shut your mouth? Where does a mere girl get off spouting such insolent words to her husband who is like heaven!”

He spat out viciously while pressing the gun muzzle firmly against Danae’s back.

He thought she would surely be frightened by now, but.

“Husband like heaven… You dream big.”

Laughing?

Juan stopped searching for the medicine bottle and looked down at the top of Danae’s head.

Did she just laugh?

“You.”

Is this girl looking down on me?

“You think I won’t shoot?”

Then Danae smiled slyly as she looked up at him. And then.

“Yes.”

She narrowed her eyes into thin crescents and smiled.

“You’re a coward, after all.”

“What?”

“Do you even have the guts to pull the trigger? Do you have the confidence to handle the consequences?”

Juan’s cheek twitched.

He was being looked down upon. By some young girl.

He was being completely disrespected by a girl young enough to be his niece.

Just like all those family members who looked down on him, all those women, all those people!

“You!”

In that moment, he heard something snap in his head.

“You damn bitch, how dare you look down on me!”

Juan, blinded by rage, roughly grabbed Danae’s hair with one hand.

“I can kill you! A weak little girl like you, I can kill you even without a gun!”

Then, as if showing off his strength, he gripped her hair even harder. Danae furrowed her brow as if in pain.

This gave Juan a sense of pleasure.

That’s right. How about that. This Juan is strong. A little girl like you, I can easily overpower you with my strength!

However.

“How pathetic.”

The voice that came out next was full of mockery.

“The only thing you can show off is your strength, it seems. And that’s only against women weaker than you.”

“What, did you say?”

“The smug look on your face is quite a sight, Juan Rolland.”

Danae looked straight at him and smiled.

“If I were you, I’d be so embarrassed I’d want to shoot myself in the head with that gun.”

This bitch!

Juan completely lost his mind. He mercilessly yanked Danae’s hair and pressed the gun muzzle hard against her white temple.

Should I just shoot her like this!

Just as that impulse surged up.

Bang!

From somewhere— from far, far away, a gunshot rang out.

Juan froze for a moment. What was that sound just now?

“Aaaahhh!”

Recognition came a beat too late.

Splash, splash, as red liquid burst from his shoulder, Juan realized.

He’d been shot!

“Ahh!”

At that moment, bang! Another faint gunshot, and a bullet hit exactly the same spot.

“Aaaahhh!”

Two bullets had burrowed into the exact same point. It was truly bone-burning agony. In excruciating pain, Juan collapsed on the spot.

“Hee, heek, huff.”

It hurts. It hurts. It hurts so much. I feel like I’m dying. It feels like my arm is being cut off.

Juan curled up, gasping for breath.

What was that? What happened? Where did the bullet come from?

This is a high floor. There’s nothing outside the window.

—No.

Beyond the window, on the opposite side, there is a window in the distance.

They shot from that distance?

And hit the exact same spot twice?

That was the last thought Juan had.

He passed out right there.
