'Settle accounts!' even Hazel's eyes widened at the words! Could it be that he had tricked her into insulting a girl so that he could have a valid reason to kill her! Is that how the other empresses died!!!!????
'Dumb, fool! You were hearing that he had killed the empress before, yet you did not investigate it seriously, except asking from a few maids! Now look at what you've done!' she chided and cussed herself for her foolishness!
Venisa looked at the pale young man with thin lips and dark hair. She had a crush on him ever since she remembered, but he only treated her as an acquaintance!
When she had thought Hazel had embarrassed her, could it be that fate had given her the golden chance to finally gain the attention of Rafael!
Her nerves turned into a bundle of mess as she could not hold off her anxiety!
"I heard what you both said!" his face was still filled with the same smile but traces of rage could be felt in his voice. "Since the argument was about me, I found it was important that I clear your doubts!"
"Clear our doubts?"
"Clear our doubts?"
The both asked in unison with bewildered looks. Did he think that they were small kindergarten students who had fought and now needed a lecture about it!
"Phew" though the face of Venisa turned ugly, Hazel took a deep breath of relief. Her soul had almost left her body to handle the problem alone.
Her heart was about to burn from the anxiety too!
"My lord, lady hazel said that she could use your power anyway she wanted. It was not only about me, but she even dragged my father into it and told me that she would have him fired!
When I have done nothing but leave once you go to work!" Venisa could not bear being taken down when she was not at fault.
As a night creature she was much stronger than Hazel, and she was proud of it.
She could not believe or accept that a human and picked up on her and showed her superiority! She would better settle it if she had gotten a chance!
Even a blind could see that she was right and Hazel was in the wrong.
With dim eyes she stared at the man as if asking for his justice,
"I heard that, lady Venisa. Though I was away, my eyes were on both of you all this time.
I heard and saw everything and as I said, I am here to settle the accounts!" he assured the girl who was finally gleaming. Her face shone with the glow of winner.
"Since my wife had said those words with full trust to her husband, how could I let her down!"
"......" did she hear wrong because she was still thinking about the words Hazel had said?
Venisa blinked her eyes as she looked at the man with confusion! Her perfect eyebrows knitted and a frown formed on her beautiful face.
Even the spectators exchanged glances with horror when they realized the meaning behind his words.
"You did not mean that! There must be some misunderstanding!" Venisa shook her head as she had done nothing wrong! She had not even insulted the girl, she was silent all this time as Diana had told her.
"Of course, it is as I said. Since my wife wants me to fire your father, then I have to do that to show her my love and loyalty for her.
She seems to doubt me a lot!" he turned his head away from deathly pale Venisa and looked at Hazel whose face was no better.
She was looking like she would die of a heart attack. Her shocked expressions were too adorable to see in his eyes. [in reality, she was looking like she had seen a corpse and her eyes had widened and her bloody red lips had parted.
With that hideous makeup of hers, she was looking like a witch]
"On what basis?" Vanessa's voice truend sharp as her long nails dug deep into her hands. Her knuckles had turned white with the pressure she was using but she did not feel any pain.
She was so furious that she just wanted to turn and snap the neck of the girl! Her words were about to turn incoherent due to the anger!
"Nice question!" the man smiled as if he had found a good entertainment he was searching for while looking at the peculiar reaction of both girls!
"Haven't I asked you to take care of Hazel and give her company until I return?
But you turned and decided to leave the moment I left. Shouldn't that be enough reason to punish you and it just happened that my wife chose one for me.
So, of course as a good husband I would follow it!"
"......." could she say no! This did not mean that he would take the post of her father down for such a measly matter like this.
She did not even remember when he had asked her to take care of his wife!
"....." fear started to be embedded in everyone's eyes as they exchanged glances. While Venisa,.. She waited for long and continued to stare at Rafael hoping he would just say, "pfft.. I was joking!" but he did not.
Once he was done with his words, he walked past him and held the hands of his wife.
"So, my dear wife. Are you satisfied now?"
"...." could she say no! She was terrified!
"Since I have done what you wanted. Would you give me a reward?"
"...." what she wanted! What she wanted! Arrggghhhh! Hazel shouted loud in her mind as she wanted to pull all her hair then his!
When had she wanted to fire the man whom she did not even know! It was him.. He wanted her to pick up a fight!
She would go crazy! Completely crazy before dying! She was shouting like crazy in her heart when she mustered an ugly smile on her face, but no one noticed the change under her heavy makeup.
"Yes,"
"Good, then why don't you kiss me in front of everyone to show your love now?"
"....."
