Armand nodded. “Amisha, I hope you can keep your eyes and mind to yourself in the future. Don’t always look for a way to scheme. The more you lust after, the harder you fall. Controlling your desires is an important thing to learn, and in fact, whether it comes to luck or life, you’re already better off than most people.”
Even though Armand did not explicitly say it, he was acknowledging that Amisha was a smart person.
Armand was referring to the fact that even though she was already the daughter of a marquis, she had still insisted on marrying into the Carter family. It had taken her a lot of effort and a lot of tricks to get Franklin so she could marry into the family. Luckily, they had paid off… for a while. Soon, she grew unsatisfied again and encouraged her father-in-law and her husband to seize the throne. Her father-in-law and her husband failed and were imprisoned, yet she was not punished. With the help of Armand, she successfully divorced him and became the young lady of Marquis Walker’s family again. She should have been happy about her escape, but now, she had fallen in love with Leyton Carter. Even though there was no possibility of Leyton succeeding the throne, the Carter family was a royal family. Not only had Leyton become a count at a young age, but he was also very rich. In the future, he would definitely inherit his grandfather’s title and become a duke. Then, she would be a duchess.
However, she wondered…
Was it not her right to seek a better life for herself like this?!!
“Second Uncle, I just want to live a better life. Is that not allowed? Second Uncle, you’re my biological second uncle and the Empress’s husband. Is it a crime for me, as your only niece, to want to obtain a good marriage through you? Why do you dislike me so much? Why are you not allowing me to enter the palace again?”
Armand did not like to speak harshly to others, especially when he saw how pitifully Amisha was crying. He really could not bear to hurt her any more. Empress Sophie, who was by his side, could not help but speak up for her husband.
“Amisha, you’re allowed to try to find a good marriage for yourself through your uncle. You’re allowed to try to better your life. But as you try to climb the social ladder, you have to make sure that you’re not stepping on anyone on the way up. Your second uncle and I do not hate you.
“Quite the opposite, really. We’re your family! Whether you want to admit it or not, your second uncle and I helped you set up your marriage to Franklin. But not only did you not thank us at all, you even encouraged Franklin to betray us. After that incident, I did not deal with you too harshly and even allowed your second uncle to let you enter the palace again. That was not because we could not get the evidence to punish you, since this kind of treason is easily punishable. It’s only because your second uncle is kind and generous. He told me that you were just a helpless woman, and without the support of the Carter Family, you would not be able to do anything. That was why I lived with you coming around.
“But how long has it been since then? Now you want to drag Leyton into your life, and use your second uncle to do it. Amisha, I can admit that you’re very good at understanding the human psyche. Yesterday, when I found out that the Shipley family had made a move against Sunny, I was indeed prepared to kill all of them. If I had the family under my boot, and you proposed to merge their family’s winery with Leyton’s. I would’ve definitely agreed.”
