Chapter 455 Tit For Tat
Chapter 455 Tit for Tat
After King Ducasse left angrily, the ward fell into silence again.
Martha glanced at the man standing at the door with an odd expression, then lowered her eyelidsand slowly lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
She walked over to the window and pulled back the heavy curtains, just in time to see the skystarting to brighten. The sun had just risen not far away, casting a faint red glow across the sky.
Martha's eyes darkened, and a wry smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.
When would she be able to watch the sunrise with Jimmy again?
After a long time, Louis' dull voice sounded in the ward, breaking the silence at this moment.
"You are too impulsive today, you shouldn't tell King Ducasse these things now."
Martha shook her head slightly, indifferently looking at the slowly rising sun not far away.
"I don't want to hide anything from King Ducasse. He's been good to me and I'm afraid his sinceritywill be misplaced if I don't tell him about what's going on."
Louis pursed his thin lips when he heard this, and remained silent.
The woman standing by the window pursed her lips slightly, and said with a light smile, "Louis, it'svery tiring to lie to someone, because if you tell a lie, you have to use countless lies to cover up theoriginal lie."
The man's golden eyes sank, and he sighed helplessly.
He knew that Martha hated the word "lie" and hated being deceived by others, so she didn't want tobe a person who deceived others.
But... would telling truth really make everything better?
Louis didn't know what consequences would result from King Ducasse's anger but he knew thatafter Martha spoke out about it all she would feel much more relaxed.
He hesitated for a while, but couldn't help asking.
"Aren't you afraid that things will get worse because of this?"
Martha turned around and looked straight at Louis behind her before saying solemnly, "You don'thave to marry into the royal family to find out the truth of the matter."
"Elsie is my mother, and I want to know the truth about her death more than anyone else, but this isnot a reason for me to deceive King Ducasse's feelings."
Louis pursed his thin lips tightly and did not speak.
He admitted that what Martha said made sense, but if she didn't marry into the royal family, howcould she have the power to compete with Gage and the others?
As these thoughts ran through his mind, Louis couldn't help but ask, "Without the support of KingDucasse, how can we compete with Gage and them?"
"Louis, a lie is always a lie, no matter how long it takes, it will be exposed one day."
Martha looked at the man not far away indifferently, with a slight tiredness in her eyes.
Although she woke up from the coma, the effects of the incense still made her feel physically andmentally exhausted.
She sighed silently, and slowly walked back to the hospital bed and sat down.
After Louis lowered his head and pondered for a moment, he didn't open his mouth to refute whatthe woman on the hospital bed said.
He had to admit that what Martha said was indeed true.
If the truth of the matter had been concealed from King Ducasse, then if one day at a criticalmoment, the truth of the matter was revealed, then their plan would fail without doubt.
When Martha saw Louis look much better, she knew the latter had understood what she meant.
She smiled lightly and said calmly, "Without me being the queen, we can still win."
Louis glanced sideways at Martha who was full of confidence and was slightly stunned. He lookedinto her eyes with some confusion as if he didn't understand why she was so confident.
The woman lying on the hospital bed noticed Louis' confusion and increased the curve of her lipsunconsciously while slowly analyzing their current situation.
"This time I was drugged by Daisy and Andrew. Now that Ducasse has also gotten involved in thismatter, these two siblings must be very afraid that their actions will be exposed."
"So if we can take advantage of this opportunity to make Gage unable to turn things around or losehis power against us quickly enough then I won't have to marry into royalty."
"As long as we can compete against them head-on, then I can seek revenge for my mother sooner,"Martha continued confidently.
Upon hearing this, Louis nodded and said something in agreement.
"Those two siblings probably want you dead already."
Martha agreed by nodding before continuing, "There is another possibility though - Daisy andAndrew may have someone behind them pulling strings."
"Are you saying... Gage is behind all this?" The man furrowed his eyebrows slightly while speakingin a low voice in the ward.
The woman's eyes narrowed slightly, with a wise light shining in her eyes.
"Although we don't have concrete evidence yet it's not impossible."
Upon hearing this, Louis nodded slightly and thought about Gage's actions tonight. He increasinglyfelt that it was possible that Daisy and her brother were acting on Gage's orders when they did whatthey did to Martha.
After he came back to his senses, Louis' eyes darkened and he asked with a serious expression,"So what should we do next?"novelbin
"Fight fire with fire," came the reply.
