A Painting of the Villainess as a Young Lady

Chapter 98

“What a r-rude—”

Shouldn’t he first learn how to control his emotions? This man was supposedly the next head of his family. Violet inwardly clicked her tongue.

At that moment, a rogue projectile flew in and hit Alec exactly on the back of the head. Then, someone strode up behind the now collapsed Alec.

“You’re talking nonsense in front of a guest again! You’re the sole disgrace of this family, ugh. You just keep making Mom cry out of distress each and every time.”

The rogue projectile’s identity was a cookie. And, Violet looked up at the powerful person who managed to knock over Alec with that very cookie.

It was a woman with light brown hair, and she resembled Marchioness Leshan. She was very much indignant.

And the tall woman was wearing pants, not a dress.

‘Who’s this?’

Violet remained aloof as she studied the woman before her. She gave off such a sharp atmosphere, so different from the marchioness.

Alesia A. Leshan, the second child of the Leshan Marquisate.

“W-What the hell are you—”Nêww chapters will be fully updated at wuxiahere.com

“Who’s asking who here? Mom told me to say hello and introduce myself to her guest, yet I immediately heard a certain someone blowing hot air over here so I came over. You’re the one who caused trouble at Titaro, so why are you making Mom clean up your mess? Seriously. Just know that you will die at my hands one of these days.”

“Why are you blaming me! Wait, then, that—”

“I recommend that you go and fix it right this instant. Father’s barely stopping himself from killing you.”

“Gasp— Your Ladyship, I believe that’s all the time we have today. Let’s continue our talk another time.”

Alec tucked his tail between his legs and ran away. Still, Violet’s expression remained unchanged.

“The Madam must care for me because I am her close friend’s daughter. I don’t know why you’re telling me this, Your Ladyship, but I agree with you when you say you ‘can’t tell’.”

“Hah! So, did you show this façade of yours to my mother? She’s a pure-hearted person, so it must have worked. For these past three years, she’s only been saying how much she feels sorry for you!”

Violet once again revised her evaluation. Right now, she didn’t know anymore if Alesia was better than Cairn, but she had become more certain that the two of them had much in common.

“I won’t ask why you’ve suddenly changed the way you act. But still, I don’t think one’s true nature is easily changed, especially if it’s someone who once slapped a poor girl who stood for two hours outside on a cold day.”

“Ah.”

Only then did some emotion enter Violet’s countenance as she blinked a couple of times. She found the reason behind this young woman’s hostility.

The incident she was speaking of happened during the debutante three years ago.

Back then, Violet never told Aileen to wait for her, but the girl deliberately provoked her by dressing in thin clothes and making a ridiculous demand.

Having no intention of explaining herself, Violet slowly let out a sigh.

“You really do resemble each other quite a lot.”

“What are you getting at?”

“I was merely talking to myself, Lady. And, you can think however you want. Even if I try to explain, you will continue to think that I’m a bad person anyway.”

“Do you seriously mean what you say?”

“If what I say isn’t what I mean, then I shall commend you on your great abilities, Lady. I can’t believe you have the power to read minds. As the outstanding individual of the Black Wolf, may I first greet you courteously?”

“Hah, wow...! What a funny thing to say. Yes, alright. Let’s say our greetings, shall we? And, I would very much appreciate it if you refer to me as ‘Dame’, not ‘Lady.”

A war of nerves ensued. Violet did not shy away from those light blue eyes.
