Chapter-7: scheming heroine Jessica Lark
They are waiting for the savior to come! But will he / she come? Yes, it will definitely come! Others can't say, but Devonshire Marquis Mansion will not sit idly by.
This marriage was arranged by the second queen in the palace, there is no reason to abandon it halfway! Time passed by little by little, they waited and hoped, with their necks stretched out.
Finally, there was a commotion outside the door. Jessica Lark's eyes lit up. It's here, it's finally here! The Lark family members were so excited that their faces turned red, their hearts were pounding, and they all stared at the door. The footsteps outside the door are getting closer...
The visitor was the chief steward of Marquis Devonshire's Mansion. As soon as he came in, he was stopped by Zaman Lark, "Chief Steward you came alone? Where is your master? Why don't you come in person?"
He still maintained the dignified demeanor of a minister and the marquis, unaware that his hair was disheveled and he looked disheveled. Chief Steward's expression was as cold as snow, and he said stiffly.
"The master asked me to come here to cancel the engagement." He completely lost his previous respect and came straight to the point, only wanting to complete the task assigned by his master as soon as possible.
"What?" The faces of the Lark family members changed. Jessica Lark's face turned pale as paper, and her slender body shook. Chief Steward took something out of his arms and said,
"This is the engagement letter of Miss Jessica Lark. Please keep it, Mr. Lark. Also please return the engagement letter from my son." Zaman Lark was shocked and angry, he said with an angry voice
"...Who ordered this?" He also hoped that the Devonshire Marquis Mansion would help him. He did not ask for reinstatement, but only for his life and to be allowed to return to his hometown, and then he would take his time to deal with it.
Chief Steward is the most popular person in front of Marquis Devonshire, and the marquis's wife is always polite to him. So he said with an arrogant tone that lacked the past respect to Zaman Lark
"Of course it's the Marquis."
Zaman Lark's face turned pale. Not only did he not help, but he also added insult to injury. He had asked for marriage humbly at first, but now he has turned against me. He was wrong. Madam Lark was angry and anxious and said.
"Madam Marquis once said that she loved Jessica very much and would treat her like her own daughter. She will definitely not agree..." Before she could finish, Chief Steward interrupted her words and said, "Madam also agrees." Madam Lark turned pale and shouted,
"How can this be possible? Our two families have completed the three letters and five ceremonies, and the only thing left is to welcome her in person. According to etiquette, my daughter is already a member of your Devonshire Marquis Mansion."
Chief Steward sneered and said arrogantly, "Not to mention that she hasn't been married yet, even if she was married, she could still be divorced. I'm informing you, not discussing things with you."
He showed no mercy at all, which also represented the attitude of Devonshire Marquis Mansion. Jessica Lark was greatly shocked and tears welled up in her eyes. Madam Lark was heartbroken upon seeing this and asked angrily,
"You are breaking your promise. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world?"
"My master said that the Devonshire Marquis's Mansion is clean and honest, and will never associate with criminals of bad conduct." Chief Steward's eyes swept across Miss Jessica Lark's face, and said meaningfully,
"I dare not believe in your family education." Jessica Lark's face lost all color and his lips trembled. Zaman Lark was furious. How many big families are clean? The water in Devonshire Marquis's Mansion is muddy.
"Bullshit, there is no way that we can cancel an engagement. There is no girl in our Lark family who would cancel an engagement. Jessica Lark, don't blame your father for being cruel. He really had no choice." Jessica Lark's eyes were red, and tears rolled down like pearls.
"I understand. A good woman won't serve two husbands. I belong to Devonshire Marquis Mansion in life, and I will be a ghost of Devonshire Marquis Mansion in death." After saying that, she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and rushed towards the wall.
Everyone was shocked by this scene and watched her crash into it. "Ah! No..." Madam Lark (Xavia) was frightened out of her wits. It seemed that she was about to die, and it turned out to be a tragedy.
Lark family member that was the closest to her, and seeing this, she quickly grabbed Jessica's arm and narrowly avoided the attack. Fortunately, Jessica only had a slight scratch on her forehead.
She collapsed on the ground powerlessly, tears streaming down her face, heartbroken. Madam Lark rushed over and hugged her daughter tightly, crying bitterly. "Why are you so stupid, child?"
Chief Steward of Devonshire mansion secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If someone was killed, he would be in trouble. Wendy Lark looked at her right hand with an unclear expression.
She silently pulled her brother Jerry back to the most inconspicuous corner, then sat down crossing her legs on the spot. She looked at Jessica, who was crying pitifully, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
As expected of one of the two beauties in the capital, she had great ambitions and had no intention of committing suicide. The force of the collision was too light, and she pulled it back with just a slight pull.
Of course, she thinks it is a good thing for girls to be a little scheming and not be foolish enough to be deceived. (As long as it does not hurt anyone that is fine.) She thought. She heard her stomach growling and Wendy Lark looked at her brother Jerry beside her.
