The Male Lead’s Villainess Fiancee

Chapter 137 - I’m The Villainess Here (2)

Ch. 137 I’m The Villainess Here (2)

Stella sighed, coating medicine on Louise’s cheek at they sat in the greenhouse. Professor Lassen’s ring had broken Louise’s skin and left a mark from ear to cheek. What if it left a scar? In her anger, Stella unintentionally yelled at Louise.

Louise’s eyes widened, and she immediately shot back at the other girl.

That was what the original Louise had said a long time ago. However, even if she were now to grab Stella’s hair and shake her, she wouldn’t truly be the bad guy. She had lost her place as the villainess, though it was a strange thing to get heated about.

Of course, she wasn’t too keen on the role.

Stella closed the medicine, drank the tea in front of her and protested against Louise.

Louise gave a mocking smile. The original Louise must have smiled like this when she bullied Stella.

Louise looked into the distance for a moment, her arms folded. There was little time. They needed to figure out this situation and stop the letter by tonight. If she failed, not only would the Sweeney family be put through the ringer, but Louise may be expelled from the Academy. She had to stop that. Louise had no noble status, and the only thing she could claim was that she was a top student at the Academy.

Louise turned towards Stella again.

The pair sighed simultaneously.

Louise said something she had to say.

Louise shook her head. She didn’t know the kinds of things she would say if she let her guard down. People were better off paying attention to their actions and words, as it was difficult to take them back.

She couldn’t help it.

Stella’s voice was a soft murmur as she recalled the moments of the past. She remembered Louise looking at her, and imagined that Louise must have been gleeful at her predicament.

Stella seemed to understand why everyone seemed to defend Louise Sweeney. This heroic young woman would jump into the flaming pit of hell for someone she was thinking about deeply.josei

Stella took a seat. Whatever the situation may be, there was something she had to tell Louise first.

Louise snorted and smiled.

Stella was almost in tears. Did…did she really say that? If she could go back to the past, she would smack that horrible mouth of hers.

Louise reached across the table and poked Stella right in the middle of her forehead.

Both of them put their heads on the table and sighed again.

The greenhouse door opened. Louise thought it would be Simon or Professor Hill, but it turned out to be an Academy staff member.

The staff member shouted out her urgently, and Louise shot up from her seat.

Louise checked the time. It had been less than two hours since that letter was sent. How was her mother already here?

Louise stared at Stella with surprise.

It was too soon. Perhaps Professor Lassen had already delivered the summons before notifying Louise, just to get her out of here as soon as possible.

Louise pointed to the pen and a sheet of blank paper on the table.

Despite that, she felt no reassurance about his words. Louise ran to the reception office and thought about the variety of tricks Professor Lassen could pull off. Maybe she had written Stella’s statement herself and put it in the official record. The professor was already Stella’s appointed guardian, and the forgery process was probably easier.

Come to think of it, Louise had been helpless at the arts center as well, and it was only by sheer luck that she managed to survive by the skin of her teeth. But now, there really was nothing she could do, even with truth and honesty in hand.

She finally arrived at the office, but her hand hesitated on the doorknob.

What should she say to her mother? She didn’t want to worry or disappoint her. Louise couldn’t simply stand here forever, and so she carefully opened with door with her eyes squeezed shut.

The faint aroma of tea floated through the doorway. Louise spotted a woman sitting on a sofa facing away from the entrance, and Louise dropped her eyes quickly.

Fortunately, there was no one else inside. Professor Lassen and the others involved may still be rushing here.

She heard her mother stand up and approach her one step at a time. Louise was frozen stiff as the sound of her shoes drew nearer.

But Louise had done nothing wrong, so it was not appropriate to show such signs of weakness. She gathered her courage to put on a more dignified appearance. When her mother’s shoes came into view, Louise finally raised her head.

And her mother’s black eyes—what? Black eyes?

The voice was so beautiful. But it was not her voice.

Louise doubted her eyes for a moment.

Hesse held both his arms open. His makeup was amazing today, and he looked like a perfect woman. Beautiful, even.

But whether he looked like Mrs. Sweeney was another matter.

Hesse regretfully pulled an envelope from his arms. It was the letter sent from the Academy to the Sweeneys only a few hours ago.

Louise was relieved that the letter had not made it home, but now she was more concerned about Hesse, a future count and close aide to the Crown Prince, running around and posing as Mrs. Sweeney. Before she could even react, the door opened.

When Louise whirled around, she saw it was Professor Lassen coming in.

And then…Ian? Louise took turns looking between three people in confusion. Was there some sort of explanation for this?

As she tried to process this situation, Ian quickly walked over to Hesse. Louise was impressed with his quick reaction. He must have been surprised that the holy knight of the crown prince was playing a fraud!

When Ian approached Hesse, Hesse lifted his hand.

Then Ian kissed the back of Hesse’s hand and smiled.
