The Male Lead's Fake Sister

Chapter 81

It was beyond her comprehension.

The crueler she was, the more persistent his face looked. While she cried with her neat hair in disarray, he looked at her as if he were astonished by flowers in full bloom.

Did no one notice that blatant and ferocious stare?

It can't be. But why didn't anyone notice? Why did they say I went too far?

They say that I'm the problem…

And so the woman came to understand why people who were exposed to excessive moonlight went insane.

They were looking at a very high place.

They saw a lot and desired a lot of things. People who noticed something that ordinary people did not. The lunatics.

In folklore, it was believed lunatics were irredeemable, but she was different.

She was trying to prove that she wasn't crazy.

Everything began when he showed up, so everything would be back in place when he left.

It wasn't merely a greed for succession.

Everyone said she went insane after being removed as a successor. The truth, however, was a little different.

It was a desperate attempt by a person whose life had been ripped apart.

The right of succession seemed to be the only thing that the woman had lost in people's eyes. But that was everything to the woman.

The child who was born at the cost of her mother's life, the child who had no one to reminisce about in her life, dreamed of becoming the matriarch as naturally as breathing and holding a pen.

Therefore, when her teacher asked her young self this.

-Do you know there are a lot of valuable things in the world other than being recognized by your father? What do you want to be?

-I want to be Duke Leontine.

Her teacher was left speechless by the girl's resolute answer. The teacher may have known that she wanted to be Duke Leontine so that her father would recognize her.

The teacher realized the girl's answers were genuine after several rounds of questions and answers.

Perhaps her stubbornness was because she couldn't let go of her childhood ambition to be a matriarch.

Even when she gave up on trying to mend her personal relationship with her father, the memory of the old days when she looked up to her father, Duke Leontine, may have led her this far. However, as with everything else, the ending was more important than the beginning.

Her entire life had been dedicated to secure her position as successor, and she had run nonstop toward it. Nothing much changed even after that man came into the family.

She gave it her all, as she always did. In order to protect her goal. Even though there was only one more person in the picture, she was dismissed as a selfish woman.

Everyone pointed a finger at her.

A man cornered on the edge of a cliff would surely retaliate.
