Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 360 I Am Your Savior!(Chapter Preview)

"I want to know about my real parents!" Though he felt that his world had crumbled down in the start, after the reprimanding tone of the duke, he had felt much calmer.

But the thought of his own family was clawing his heart. He did not know how he would react if he saw them! He felt so flustered whenever he thought about it!

What kind of parents would they be to sell their kid to others! Would he be able to forgive them? But what if Evan did not forgive the duke too!

No! She would, he would explain the truth to her!

"Your parents!!" a ray of light flashed past his eyes as he stared at the woman who was calm all this time and was not at all embarrassed when he had questioned her integrity!

But now that he had asked about his parents, her face was turning pale as if she had seen a ghost!

"Kill the child! The child is a monster! If he would survive, he would kill us all! He would kill everyone!

Where did the baby go? He is too small to even move an inch!

Hey, are you forgetting that he was a monster! What if he could walk at this age!

No! Whatever happens! We have to find the baby and kill him before the monster can grow his powers!"

"Aunt.. aunt!" Gabriella blinked when she felt the strong pressure on her arms and found Leo standing just an inch away from her while holding her hands and her heartbeat quickened!

She felt a chill run down her spine and cold sweat started to form on her body as she tried to move away but she was on the sofa and there was no way she would move away!

"Tell me who my parents are?" This time his imposing aura was so strong that she was not able to ignore him but the words started to rung in her ears again!

She jerked her hands away instinctively and covered her ears to get rid of those strange noises and shook her head!

"What nonsense are you talking about? Leave my palace at once!" he was a bit stunned by her sudden burst but then his eyes narrowed at her pale face!

"What did you do to my parents? Why are you so flustered when I am asking about them! Do not tell me that you killed them!" it would have only been apt in case they would try to blackmail her in the future and extort more money just like Evans adopted father!

But to think that she had killed them mercilessly and now he would never be able to meet them pierced his heart once again and he was just an inch away from losing his sanity completely.

"Tell me now what you did to them before I forgot who you are!" he growled as his hands were already on her neck!

She had not only ruined so many lives but her hands were stained with the blood of innocent people! Did she have even a shred of humanity!

"What nonsense are you spouting! I have not killed your parents or anyone else!" she roared as she jerked his hands away.

Her eyes had gone cold and piercing when she looked at him with eyes full of disgust!

"Your parents were dead and so were others due to hunger and cold!

That day, the wheel of my carriage broke while I was taking the shortcut to the palace!

I was in a hurry to see who my sister in law had given birth to when I saw you crying in the middle of corpses!

Due to a sudden landslide, everyone died but I did not know how you survived!

I was sure if I would have left you there, you would die too.

I didn't know why I felt pity on you and took you with me. I was about to give you to a maid to take care of you so that you can serve the duchy later.

But when I reached the palace, I heard a few people talking about how we would lose the position of archduke too if it was another girl!

I lashed on them but my heart knew that they were telling the truth! So, when I entered and saw another girl crying on the bed, I could not bear it!

You were already staring at me with those wide eyes as if you understand what I am going to do and support me in it!

So, I took you and placed you in her embrace and took the girl away!

I never wanted to hurt anyone! If that would have been the case, I would have killed the girl and never told the truth to the duchess!

But I made sure that she would live well by giving all my dowry and even visited her a few times to make sure she was living well!

And even told the truth when his brother's political position improved! It was her decision that she did not want to change what had happened!

So, if you want to blame, blame all of them! Why are you coming behind me!

And as far as your real family is concerned, none of them are alive! You should be grateful that I have saved you and kept you alive so far!" her hands clenched into a fist as she glared at the boy who was looking at her with suspicious eyes!

"If you do not believe me, go and investigate the matter of the landslide that had killed half of a town on the day of your birth. Now leave! Leave my house at once before I will call the guards and throw you out!"
