Chapter 1211:
âShouldnât I despise Brevard?â Waylon chuckled bitterly.
âEveryone praises Marisa for her grandeur, but little do they know it was Brevardâs failings that drove her to her limits. If not for Brevard, she wouldnât have exhausted herself to death at such a young age!â
Harlee observed Waylon, seated at the head of the table.
Despite his evident anger, there was an unmistakable softness in his tone when he spoke of Marisa. Waylon had feelings for Marisa? What was this about? Wasnât Waylon supposed to be Marisaâs adopted son? Harlee experienced a surge of confusion but kept her expression neutral.
âDo you know Brevard is still alive?â Waylon smirked.
âHeâs locked up in the cellar by me.
Heâll never see daylight again.
Ha!â
Harlee felt only one thingâhe had lost his mind. She had assumed Waylon was motivated by greed or ambition, but it appeared he wanted neither.
He just wanted chaos in Rovania. Logically, Rovaniaâs destiny was irrelevant to her.
Even if the nation vanished, she wouldnât bat an eye.
However, if Waylon aimed to smear Mogluyliaâs reputation, she wouldnât allow it.
Rhys, who had been nodding off, chin in hand, suddenly sharpened his gaze at the mention of Marisa. Something felt wrong. Sensing Waylonâs real motives, he subtly squeezed Harleeâs hand beneath the table, signaling with a private gesture that Waylon was plotting something.
gðªðµð·Ïvððµð¼.cøm â check it out!
Harleeâs heart raced. She had also noted something off but hadnât put it together until now. She once thought they had ensnared Waylon in a trap, but it appeared Waylon had laid out a grand scheme for them, luring them in with the facade of walking unknowingly into their trap.
Noticing their subtle shift in expression, Waylon let out a triumphant laugh.
âIt looks like youâve caught on. Yes, Iâve done everything to draw you Mogluylian people in!â
Harlee made a bold assumption.
âYouâre not really serving the Rovania government. Youâre looking to bury the Rovania government along with Marisa.â
âExactly!â Waylon nodded enthusiastically.
âMarisa was a true genius.
Had it not been for the Rovania governmentâs suppression, how could she have passed away at the mere age of thirty?â His motivation was clear: he sought vengeance for Marisa, aiming to bring the entire Rovania government down with her.
Harlee voiced her deduction confidently.
âExposing the Rovania government to international disgrace isnât enough to satisfy your hatred.â
âOf course, it isnât enough. Miss Sanderson, do you understand how great Marisa was? She deserved a better fate instead of succumbing to illness in her prime at thirty!â Waylonâs eyes grew misty.
âYou may not know, but if Marisa hadnât died, I could have been with her. We were only twelve years apartâ¦â
Waylon had risen from poverty, diligently studying just to alleviate some of Marisaâs burdens.
But before he could fully mature, she perished in that hospital.
