Revenge In A Contract Marriage
Plain girl downtrodden~

...***...

Devan looked at Liz. "What did he say was the truth?"

Liz bit her lower lip, she was silent for a while. "Yes, he's telling the truth." Liz's voice swallowed. But secretly he looked at the employees who were there.

Haha, how could they possibly believe that that was the truth right? From their expressions, it was obvious that they knew what I was saying was a lie because I was afraid. Come on, pity me, and hate this serpent woman. Acting as a weak and helpless girl, being a good girl was the role I liked the most. I'm good at acting, because it's my everyday life.

"Then, what brought you here?" Devan stared dislikefully at Grisha.

Grisha was a little surprised, because he had never seen Devan's gaze like this. Her once warmer and softer gaze, was very comfortable to be looked at by him, but right now?

"W-there's something I want to talk to you about, and it's very important." Grisha plays her fingertips, a sign she's nervous?

"Alright, we'll talk inside." Devan pulls Liz's hand.

"Only the two of us. I want to talk to you about something important, four eyes. It's just us" Grisha looked at Devan. From Devan's expression, Grisha knew Devan must have refused

I'll use the old way, though,

"I beg you.., just listen to me. That's very important." Grisha looked at Devan with a sad glare, his pleading expression was Grisha's main weapon first, to seduce Devan.

Dev, you won't be able to refuse me, will you? If I express like this? Deep down you still love me, don't you? The darling? Yeah, you just called her darling in front of me, to make me jealous.

"Well, we'll talk alone, inside. Come with me."

I guessed it! Devan won't be able to refuse me! How could he possibly refuse the face of his favorite girl, I know Devan. You still love me so much, and relax today I come to you, and will not leave you.

Devan wants to walk in, but his hand is held back by Liz. Devan turned his head, looking at Liz's strange gaze, as if he didn't like it? Liz's face looked gloomy, but her lips did not say anything.

"What's wrong? You're not happy?" Ask Devan.

Liz fell for a moment. "E-eh no, if you want to talk, just talk. No problem, I'll wait outside." He added while displaying that sweet smile.

Devan looked at Liz's hand that was still holding her. "Sorry!" Liz took it off. Devan and Grisha walked in, Grisha with a radiant face and a big smile closed the door, when the door was almost closed, Devan could see Liz's dislike expression, and was disappointed...? Even Liz did not blink at all.

"Miss...? You all right? Can I make you some coffee?" Ask the officer who's still there, he's Robin.

Liz instantly regained consciousness for a moment. He suddenly smiled. "It's okay, I'm fine. They're just talking anyway, what to fear."

All the officers were silent, including Anna and Vin.

"It should be that if the lady doesn't feel like saying it, I'm sure Mr. Devan will understand. And again, if the woman hurts the young lady, just tell the young master. He'll definitely pay it back." One of the officers added, He's Smith.

"Ah no problem, after all they only related in the past right? It's just the past." Murmured Liz with a downcast look.

"Young lady, if you need anything else, you can tell me. I still have a lot of business and files to do, I'm willing to resign." Anna said walking away.

"Ah thank you for supporting me, I will fight to keep mine, I will not let anyone seize my happiness, this is my promise to myself." Said Liz with a warm smile on her face, she looked at the two servants cheerfully.

The two officers were amazed. It was as if they had just seen the goddess with her light.

"You go too, it's not time to gossip. You have a lot of work, right?" Said Vin staring flatly at them.

This young miss is great as well, she can act really well. It should be with this extraordinary talent that he can become a famous artist. Even Smith and Robin felt sorry for him.

"Alright then, Mr. Vin, young lady, we're retreating. If the young lady needs help, just find us." Said Smith walking away in the Robin's follow.

"Yes! Thank you!" Liz waved her hand at them.

"Young lady, with this good acting? You unemployed?" Vin asked when there were only the two of them.

"At first I got the lead role, but I was kicked and replaced by the artist who is the director's nephew. You tau? Insider skills are terrible, sometimes talented people like me have to get out of the way too." Liz said lightly, as if she was used to it.

"Oh yeah Vin, by the way? What about my acting? You think those two people believed in my sweet words?" Added Liz again.

"I think yes."

"The role of being a good girl, meek plain and easily oppressed is my favorite role, I will be very much in her~"

Eh bentar deh.., all that just now is acting. He wants to make his ex jealous? Wait a minute...., lest he marry me to make his ex regret, then jealous, and want to be reversed? After they get better, Devan will kick me?

Can't! They can't reverse, I won't let Devan get his love again! He must be tormented to madness! It must! So that means I have to kick Grisha, right? How-to?

No way, I have to stay by Devan's side. My position as his wife should not be shifted. Mama Deyna's suffering must be avenged. Liz.., you have to think of something. I.., I've prepared myself and so many plans.

"Young lady? Your hands are shaking? You okay?" Ask Vin.

Liz immediately smiled, no one should be suspicious about her true purpose.

"I'm really hungry, can I get some food?"

Vin shook his head. "Not until the young master allows it himself."

Liz let out her breath. "I know you'll give me this answer."

How do I kick a Grisha?

"I'll use you when I need you, like an umbrella, won't I?"

Liz still remembered Devan's words. Liz finally realized one thing.

Damn Devan, he's been using me to get back with his ex? Everything is the game, and I'm already stuck in it. If he gets a Grisha, will he throw me away? Like a broken umbrella?
