The Wicked Wife's Dark History Keeps Coming Back To Haunt Her - Chapter 284
âIf it were you, you would know that Ian would have a hard time even staying alive in that household. Once they have a child of their own, they will surely try to eliminate that boy someday.â
âBut even if this goes to trial, the chances of winning are slim, arenât they?â
âEven so, I can at least try, canât I? My grandnephewâs life is at stake. I cannot simply give up like this. Please, I beg you.â
As Count Azelot spoke almost pleadingly with desperate eyes, Navian trailed off.
âHmm, ordinarily I shouldnât say this if I intend to conduct a fair investigationâŚâ
Both sides were after the childâs property, that much was the same.
But Count Azelot was showing her âdesperationâ.
Compared to the Duke and Duchess of Bayern, who had been confident as though victory were guaranteed, her sympathy leaned slightly toward him.
Because of that, her previously cynical and pessimistic attitude shifted a little.
âAs you know, anything House Azelot can provide can also be provided by House Bayern. That is precisely why the case would be dismissed.â
âIs there no other way?â
Navian fell silent for a moment.
She wasnât writing a âfalseâ report.
So revealing something at this level shouldnât matter.
After all, her advice wouldnât appear in the report anyway.
Navian spoke in a deliberately serious tone.
âThere is something called supplementary investigation.â
âSupplementary investigation?â
âYour Lordship could strongly assert that the relationship between the Duke and Duchess has not actually improved, and request that I conduct supplementary investigation.â
âDidnât you say the case would be dismissed because there were no problems? Then even if the investigation is expanded, it would be useless.â
Whether the couple was harmonious could easily be confirmed through testimony from those around them.
It would be exposed immediately anyway.
ââŚDoesnât it only matter that you reach the destination, no matter which path you take?â
âWhat exactly do you mean by that?â
Count Azelot frowned as though he truly couldnât understand, and Navianâs lips twisted sharply.
âIt means we force House Bayern to have no choice but to respond to the lawsuit.â
Interest began to appear in Count Azelotâs eyes, which had previously been filled with irritation and frustration.
Her words were not ordinary.
âPlease explain in detail.â
âItâs simple. Duke and Duchess Bayern were famously on such poor terms that they used separate bedrooms. ThereforeâŚâ
As Navian continued speaking, Count Azelotâs eyes widened.
What an ingenious method.
If someone valued their honor more than their life, they would rather endure the shame of a lawsuit than face such humiliation.
Moreover, his niece-in-law who had humiliated him by telling him to lick the floor.
And his nephew who never treated him like a human being.
He could thoroughly disgrace both of them.
A satisfied smile spread across Count Azelotâs lips.

House Bayern, the studyâ
Ash was clenching and unclenching his right hand with a fiercely hardened expression.
ââŚThey must have gone mad.â
As the murderous aura around Ash deepened by the second, Jeffrey, who had brought the letter, asked cautiously.
âYour Grace, may I ask what has happened?â
âThere seem to be quite a few people desperate to die.â
The stiff paper he held in his left hand crumpled miserably with a dry crackle.
The fact that the wedding night was never consummated, that they used separate bedrooms for two years, and that cohabitation only began recently.
Testimony from people around them confirms that until recently the marriage was close to collapse, and given the circumstances there is no basis to refuse supplementary investigation.
Therefore, in accordance with Adam Azelotâs request, please attach Duchess Bayernâs gynecological examination records and medical records to the response.
âDomestic Investigator, Navian Andreâ
In other words, he had to prove that he and Nina had consummated their marriage on their âwedding nightâ.
Regardless of the truth, it was an absurd demand that insulted both him and Nina.
If he complied with the demand, his wife would suffer humiliation.
If he refused, the report would include unfavorable remarks under the pretext of ârefusing investigationâ.
He cracked his stiff neck from side to side and let out a deep sigh.
He didnât know whose idea this was.
But since the investigator had agreed to such an outrageous claim, she must also be considered an accomplice of House Azelot.
âButler, summon Hozi.â
If they were so desperate to die, then he would make them truly feel what it meant to want death.
Whether it was the Azelot family or the investigator.
At his low voice, Jeffrey withdrew with a complicated expression.
Erica
GOOD. Take this b* down! Honestly Iâm disgusted that she would do something like this when her whole point is being âimpartialâ. Not only Azelot, but that woman needs to be taken care of. After all, everyone also knows how much Nina has changed. That in itself is a reason to say why their marriage improved. Also, maybe itâs time to bring up all the scheming duchess Nord has done. That will also prove that discord was being sown in their relationship, however now itâs not. How DARE they ask her to prove that. Itâs disgusting.
