Chapter 56

I don't know how Pierre ended his rampage.

When she came to my senses, Marion stood blankly in her seat.

Inside the townhouse, where Pierre and all the guests are gone, it's calm.

Looking around, Marion smiled.

The tip of my lips, which were smiling as if nothing happened, fell.

"......."

Marion walked slowly across the hall.

Then, she paused.

I could see the drawing room over the half-open door.

The maid who spilled tea on Evelyn was seen cleaning the drawing room.

"......Madam?"

Feeling Marion's gaze, the maid looked back at Marion, cringing her shoulders.

The maid's face was full of fear, as she thought she would be angry right away.

"Well, I'm sorry. I, uh, I just, uh, lost my word....."

"There you go."

Marion, who shook her head, jerked away.

......Are you sure you're not angry?

The maid looked at the back with a dumbfounded face.

Entering the bedroom, Marion slumped onto the bed.

I was confused.

Evelyn's cover for her, and Islay's keeping Pierre away from her.

Even in front of drunk Pierre, Evelyn hadn't even lifted an eyebrow.

From the back of Evelyn, who blocked Pierre, Marion apparently felt a sense of relief.

And Marion, she didn't want to admit her feelings.

Because if Marion herself,she wouldn't have been able to defend Evelyn in that situation.

Marion bit her lips.

'Why did you cover for me? So far, my relationship with her has been abysmal.'

For the first time, Marion began to reflect on her relationship with Evelyn's mother and daughter.

Come to think of it, Bianca was also covering for Nicholas.
