Chapter 969: Kneeling on the Ground and Begging for Forgiveness

The atmosphere became a little tense .

The fragrance of tea filled the air, which also became moist .

Si Yiyan fiddled with the glazed teacup which was glossy and made of porcelain . It looked beautiful and realistic .

The mask covered the expression on his face and the crisp and hard lines highlighted his pronounced features . The more nonchalant he behaved, the harder it was for anyone to guess what was on his mind . He looked rather mysterious and unpredictable .

Wen Xinya remained seated beside him, her rosy lips curling into a tender smile that seemed a little cold . She was quiet and refined, yet still well-mannered and poised .

The two of them were exceptionally compatible with each other .

Duke Moville’s eyes lit up and he gently stroked the eyes of the serpent on his cane, wondering how he should break the tension of the ambiance .

Meanwhile, a look of resentment and jealousy formed on the face of Avrora, who was seated beside Duke Moville . She subconsciously stared at Wen Xinya menacingly .

This is the woman who caused me to fall from Heaven to Hell .

I detest her to the core and wish I could devour her and rip her bones and tendons apart .

At this moment, Avrora sensed an icy cold gaze being fixed on her face and she instinctively raised her head to meet the glassy, gray eyes belonging to her grandfather .

She subconsciously shivered and glanced at Wen Xinya . “Miss Bella, please forgive me for my ignorance when provoking and challenging you to a horseback riding contest . I even challenged Rex’s authority by forcing you to use the Lucifer matriarchal token as a stake . ”

After beating around the bush all day, they finally revealed their true purpose of visit . Wen Xinya picked up her teacup and sipped on some tea quietly instead of answering her .

Si Yiyan did the same .

Their reactions made Avrora’s body stiffen gradually .

Duke Moville laughed and said, “Avrora has always been competitive because of the way I taught her ever since she was young . Hence, she acted insensibly this time . I usually let her, but I didn’t expect her to end up hurting Miss Bella and she was even so brazen as to steal the Moville Family’s stamp to inappropriately seal a document that she shouldn’t have . ”

Avrora’s apology led them to the main topic in a non-abrupt manner . Feeling a little awkward, Wen Xinya had no choice but to say, “Pardon my ignorance, but I don’t understand what you mean, Duke Moville . ”

Although she knew that Avrora was the one who stamped the document and forged Duke Moville’s signature, she obviously wouldn’t express it openly . She had to pretend that she assumed the document was sealed by Duke Moville himself .

Since Duke Moville had already brought it up, he had to continue explaining it . “Since Avrora forced you to compete with her and even used the Moville Family’s privilege transferral document as a stake, this is all Avrora’s fault for taking matters into her own hands . She was the one who stole the stamp and stamped it onto the document . I only found out about it at a later time . ”

It was not Duke Moville’s first time communicating with Si Yiyan and Wen Xinya and he knew that the both of them were scheming and sly, respectively . He was not confident of getting the document back from him at all .

However, he had to get that document back .

There were plenty of power struggles between aristocratic families, who often went toe-to-toe against each other . As one of the most renowned aristocrats, he held power, pride and authority . However, he had already lost most of the power handed down by his ancestors .

Hence, for several years, he had been stepping on eggshells around the upper-class society . Yet… the silly Avrora actually used their prized possession and proof of power as a stake for the bet between her and Wen Xinya . If word about it were to spread to others, they would suffer a huge blow .

“Ah!” Wen Xinya shrieked in horror, as if she was in utter disbelief . “Miss Avrora actually committed such an outrageous thing . Oh my god… it’s unbelievable . ”

She refused to say anything else .

Avrora shivered uncomfortably as if she was being pricked by a million needles . Hanging her head low, she swallowed her pride and said, “I acted inappropriately previously and became a great sinner . ” She clenched her jaw and knelt in front of Wen Xinya before pleading . “Miss Bella, please return that document to the Moville Family . We’ll be very grateful to you . ”

At this juncture, she was prepared to go all out just to get the document back, regardless of what it took . Reason being… the only way to fall back in favor with Duke Moville was by getting the document back . That was the only way she could avoid the fate of becoming a pathetic and filthy woman .

Greatly taken aback, Wen Xinya stood up immediately and avoided Avrora . She then leaped into Si Yiyan’s arms and said, “Miss Avrora, you’re putting me in a spot . Get up, quickly!”

Si Yiyan glanced at Avrora and frowned without saying a word .

Duke Moville glanced at her casually, not expressing any opinion about Avrora’s actions . To him, kneeling down was no big deal so long as they could get the document back .

However…

He shifted his gaze onto Si Yiyan . He could tell from their attitudes that they obviously didn’t buy it .

Avrora pleaded . “Miss Bella, I know I was wrong, but I’m willing to pay any price as long as you agree to return the document . ”

Yes, any price!

Avrora gripped her skirt tightly, overwhelmed with feelings of misery and humiliation . She was Avrora, Duke Moville’s favorite granddaughter and the subject of everyone’s envy . She had never expected that she would one day kneel shamelessly before the Chinese woman she despised .

Everything seemed to be just like a nightmare . However, she had no choice but to do so . It was the only way she could get the document back . Hence, she couldn’t let it go .
