The Swordswoman’s Revenge Story after Rebirth

Chapter 403 Not Her Real Son

+8 Pearls

Cristina had been through too much lately. She had been slapped countless times and never expected that, upon sneaking back to her family home, Arthur would strike her as well. Her anger and frustration bubbled over, and she nearly went mad, shouting, “You’re blaming me for your own failures? If you truly cared for me, you would’ve gone to the Valen family to fight for my position! William—what’s he even worth? I don’t even care about him, yet he dares to look down on me? Do you know what Agnes did last night? She came to my room and insulted me relentlessly! You couldn’t even control your own woman–letting her bark like a mad dog in my room! If you truly want to help me, write her a divorce letter and send her away!”

Madilyn, hearing this, was equally enraged. “She dared to come into your room and bark like that? That mad dog! I told you to divorce her, Arthur, but you wouldn’t listen! It’s as if you can’t get a wife and are stuck with this mess!”

Arthur was caught between the two women’s fury, his head feeling like it was going to explode. He sat, defeated, with tears welling up. “Do whatever you want,” he said in a resigned tone. “I will never get involved in your matters again.”

Cristina seethed, “You won’t get involved? You’ve never done anything right. You lose your position, and now you blame me for it? Is there anyone as shameless as you? And you say I’m ungrateful? What about your gratitude to your mother? She raised you, but you’re not even her real son!”

Madilyn froze at Cristina’s words, then immediately snapped, “Shut your mouth! Don’t speak nonsense.”

Cristina retorted angrily, “I’m not talking nonsense. It’s the truth.”

Arthur looked between his mother and Cristina, then glanced over at his father, who had been reading quietly in the corner. August had put down his book and was now looking at them with a complicated expression.

“What is going on?” Arthur’s heart turned cold. “Am I not her real son?” he thought.

No wonder Madilyn had never treated him as well as Cristina, always demanding he protect her. No wonder she had never truly cared about his future.

“Don’t listen to Cristina’s ramblings,” Madilyn quickly interjected, trying to salvage the situation. “She’s just confused and speaking nonsense.”
