Chapter 14

It was time for Ingrid to close the door as if he had seen nothing. Whoops-! The man standing by the door grabbed Ingrid’s wrist roughly.

“Hey!!” The moment he grabbed her wrist, Ingrid screamed.

“Help!” But before she could even scream, the monster’s hand covered Ingrid’s mouth.

‘Save me! Someone! Someone help me!’ Ingrid, who had a foreboding of what was going to happen, tried to ask for help, but the assailant’s hand covered her mouth so tightly that she couldn’t even scream.

I couldn’t resist. ‘I might die…!’ Maybe, but you don’t know.

However, he definitely came in to steal jewellery from the prom, and when he was caught by me, he was trying to hurt me.

‘Ugh!’ A sharp thing shone in the dark, It was a knife ‘Are you trying to stab me?!’ Now, the moment I thought I was really dead, the door that had been closed suddenly opened. “Damn!” When the door opened, the man pushed Ingrid and ran towards the man who went inside. Ingrid collapsed on the floor, gasping for breath.

‘I lived……’ When I raised my head, I could see them fighting back and forth in the dark. “You’re a thief! A thief!”

With Ingrid’s strength, the voice exclaimed. Then the sound of footsteps running outside got closer.

“Here!”

“Catch it!” The room instantly lit up and people came inside this instant. But the assailant had already been subdued.

“Duke. Are you okay?” From the people inside, Ingrid knew it was the Duke of Grey who had saved her.

Perhaps Ian Grey followed me and saw me dragged into this room. The timing was right. If Ian Grey hadn’t seen me, I would have lost my life to the assailant.

Ingrid’s body became cold. “Come on in.” Ingrid entered the mansion and invited the man standing behind her to come in. It was Duke Ian Grey who stepped in at her invitation.

“I would like to greet the Viscount first. May I.”

“My mother is not feeling well these days. She must have gone to bed early.” It wasn’t a lie. My stepmother went to bed early these days. Originally, she often slept early in the evening, and these days, because of Ingrid’s pregnancy, she used to go to bed earlier than usual.

It is said that when you are pregnant, you sleep more, but Ingrid does not sleep, but her new mother sleeps a lot, so there are times when it is difficult to tell whether she is pregnant one or her stepmother.

“It’s late at night, but let’s have a cup of tea go.”

“It’s okay. I’ll just go back.”

“It doesn’t make me feel at ease if I just send you back. Ying led the Duke of Grey to the drawing room.” Ingrid left him and walked out. She could just ask Homer, the butler, for tea, but Ingrid deliberately began to prepare the tea herself.

‘okay. not bad.’ Ingrid decided to revise the plan. The original plan was to pick a poor, poor man and give him wealth and to deceive him.
