Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 383 Tannis has already led the army and charged in...
Muir looked at Lisa, intuitively questioning her.
Lisa: "..."
Ellie was her most beloved daughter, and her death did indeed cause her great sorrow.
But the person is already gone, no matter how heartbroken she is, she can’t come back to life, it’s better to...
And Ellie would certainly understand.
Besides, her daughter died, and she sought comfort from her husband, what’s wrong with that?
Muir looked at Lisa coldly, speaking with a frosty voice: "Lisa, all these years, because of my inability to see through people, you had the chance to harm Amanda’s family and drive away my destiny; because of my inability to see through people, I married a villain like you, disrespecting Amanda for years, allowing your power and desires to grow bit by bit; because of my inability to see through people, you’ve gained the capital to harm me now, directly imprisoning me here. Now, I have seen through you, and there’s no need for you to perform in front of me anymore."
"Haha..." Lisa laughed maniacally, "Really? If that’s the case, then I won’t act either."
She looked at Muir, speaking with love and hatred, revealing her true feelings, "Muir, do you know how exhausting it is to constantly pretend? But for you, I’ve performed all my life! I hate that bitch so much I could die, yet in front of you, I had to act like I really liked her. Even when I saw you painting her a moment ago, I wanted to call her a bitch, yet I held my tongue. All that I’ve done for you..."
"Shut up!" Muir interrupted coldly, "Lisa, don’t mention her, you are not worthy!"
His eyes glinted cold as ice as he looked at Lisa. Without waiting for her to speak, he continued, "Lisa, I’m imprisoned by you here, held by you, not because I fear you, but because I don’t want you to keep making mistakes."
Speaking of this, Muir felt very sorry for Una Sutcliffe.
Lisa harmed Una Sutcliffe’s family, causing misunderstandings between Una Sutcliffe and him, forcing Una Sutcliffe to leave the Whitehill, eventually dying in a foreign land.
He should have avenged Una Sutcliffe by killing Lisa.
But regardless, Lisa was his wife for a time and bore him three daughters, so if he killed her directly, he feared he wouldn’t be worthy to face anyone in this lifetime.
All he could do for Lisa was spare her life, and only that.
As for the wrongs she committed against Amanda, she must pay for them.
Muir looked at Lisa, coldly speaking: "Lisa, now it’s time for you to reflect! Tannis and his army are coming back soon, and at that time, your every ugly deed will be exposed. For what you did to Amanda, you’ll have to pay the price! But given that we were once married, for the sake of our daughters, I can spare your life..."
"Your Majesty, it’s bad, someone is attacking the palace, and they’re about to break through!" one of Lisa’s confidants rushed in, shouting anxiously.
Muir’s words were interrupted by guards hastily running in.
"What?" Lisa was shocked, her eyes coldly fixing on the person, "Explain, what exactly is happening?"
"It’s Tannis, he’s brought over three hundred elite soldiers from unknown origins, and there’s the King’s hand order... So now only our people are left resisting stubbornly."
The messenger hurriedly reported, looked at Lisa, and spoke with a face full of decline: "Your Majesty, we’ve lost, you’d better escape quickly..."
Bang! A gunshot echoed, and before the messenger could finish speaking, he was shot dead by an unknown bullet, forever silenced.
Lisa’s eyes turned blood red, staring at Muir and asking incredulously, "Tannis deployed troops for you? His previous departure, and your previous agreement to make Ellie the Crown Prince, were all because you had such a backup plan?"
Muir nodded, admitting without hesitation, "Yes, it was me."
Lisa looked at Muir, confusedly asking, "Where did you get these people? Why is it that living with you all my life, I’ve never known you had hidden strength behind you?"
"Of course, you wouldn’t know, that’s a secret known only to the heirs of the Butterfly Clan, people my father personally handed over to me after I ascended the throne."
Muir looked at Lisa coldly, saying, "These people only follow the legitimate Crown Prince or Princess Butterfly who aligns with destiny, they are loyal servants of the successive Princes Butterfly and Princesses Butterfly, maintaining and guarding the secret tribe of Whitehill. Therefore, even if I made Ellie the Crown Prince, after my death, she cannot successfully ascend the throne!"
Muir’s eyes filled with pain as he continued, "Though you harmed Amanda, she fought hard to give birth to my child, my and Amanda’s child. Whitehill’s true Princess Butterfly, she is now with Adrian Davies, and she will definitely return! Everything here was never yours, nor Ellie’s, it belongs to Princess Butterfly, Amanda’s daughter!"
Thinking about Ellie’s death, Muir was still somewhat saddened.
After all, Ellie was also his daughter.
He looked at Lisa, speaking painfully yet piercingly: "Ellie’s matter is entirely your fault! It was your greed, your arrogance, that led her step by step down the path of death! Had you not coveted what was never yours, how would Ellie have died?"
Having said this, Muir’s eyes looked coldly at Lisa, finally pronouncing: "Lisa, if you stop now, I can spare your life, otherwise..."
"Hahaha, spare my life?" Lisa sneered, looking at Muir with poisonous eyes, "Spare my life, to spend it in a cold prison? To atone for your Amanda in a miserable aftermath? Muir, you are cruel, never has anyone as cruel as you!"
In Lisa’s view, Muir was the cruelest.
He seemed gentle and mild-mannered but was actually the most ruthless.
She accompanied him for a lifetime, giving all her love to him, yet never received even a hint of affection in return.
He was like a stubborn stone, no matter how she tried to warm it, it never melted even slightly.
He quietly made Ellie the Crown Prince while hiding the biggest secret from her.
Though imprisoned in the palace chamber, he still managed strategies behind the scenes awaiting her downfall.
If he hadn’t made her fall in love with him, would she have schemed so tirelessly, gone to such lengths?
If he hadn’t given her hope, allowing her to approach Una Sutcliffe, could she have driven Una Sutcliffe away so smoothly, married him, and lived with him for so many years?
Everything is his fault!
It’s his kindness, his coldness... In short, it’s him who created today’s her!
Lisa’s eyes turned vicious, yet firm as she looked at Muir, continuing to say: "Muir, don’t even think about me repenting for Una Sutcliffe, don’t even think about me spending the rest of my life in a cold prison, I won’t stop, not even if I die!"
Guessing game: Everyone think about it, what will be Lisa’s fate? Who will she eventually die at the hands of? The first to guess correctly will be rewarded with a thousand book coins, haha~
