“You’re right. If we act now, we’ll be the ones sticking our necks out, Dashnell said.

He nodded and said, “Let’s wait. Tessa is a spy for the Southcroft Empire, and she also belongs to Callum. We should let him
handle this.”
He glanced at Warren and the imperial bodyguard.
They probably still didn’t know the true identities of the three people below, and Dashnell shouldn’t reveal all of this.
Thus, both chose to play dumb.
Dashnell turned his head and looked at Wayne, saying, “Go down with Margaery”
Wayne nodded, using his skill to escort Margaery down the cliff from the other side.
Russell followed as well.
“Today, Russell didn’t see Dashnell here, right?” Wayne asked.
He turned to look at Russell, a hint of threat in his eyes.
Dashnell had not yet decided to stir up trouble.
So, Dashnell came today purely out of concern for Margaery, not to arrest anyone.
Russell nodded numbly, his whole demeanor like a walking corpse.
Dashnell was deeply hidden, so much so that it made him feel terrified.
But he could no longer care about these things.
Below, Tessa was still enjoying the wailing of Raul and the others. “Raul, what’s the point of crying now? She’s already about to be killed by you all!” she said.
“I’ll kill you!” Andrew said as his eyes were bloodshot. He suddenly broke free and lunged at Tessa.
But Leo struck, landing a punch on his shoulder and knocking him to the ground. He said, “Everyone calls me a butcher, but I’ve killed more people than pigs!”
Leo sneered coldly.
“He is really awesome,” Leandro said, frowned, and glanced at Dashnell.
Dashnell said nothing, tacitly acknowledging it.
Warren’s face darkened as he said, “These kidnappers are not simple.”
Recalling that Tessa had appeared at Springcourt House several times, Warren turned to the imperial bodyguard and said, “Since Lady Margaery is already safe, go handle those kidnappers later. Don’t kill them.”
“Got it.” The imperial bodyguard nodded.
When he came out today, the King instructed him to follow all of Warren’s instructions.
Everyone’s attention once again fell on the Wallen family.

“Tessa, we treated you so well, and yet you harmed Margaery?” Joshua was still immersed in the so–called deep relationship
with Tessa.
He held Keaton in his arms, watching as Tessa trembled all over.
Tessa said, “How funny.”
She laughed so hard that tears welled up and added, “Wasn’t it you who killed Margaery with your own hands?
“How is it still being blamed on me?
“Let me tell you, everything she suffered today was blamed on all of you!”
She continued smugly, “To witness you kill her with my own eyes truly makes me happy. My year of enduring humiliation in the Chancellor’s estate was not in vain.
“I think she is so foolish. She deserves to die!”
Tessa threw her head back and laughed, adding, “If you really liked her, cared about her, and regretted it so much, then jump off this cliff with her. I’ll bury you together.”
As she spoke, she signaled to Leo, “Poison them!”
Wayne’s expression changed, and the sword in his hand flew out on the spot.
Leo grunted, his hand shook, and the poison fell off the cliff, landing in the Icy Pool. He shouted sternly, “Who is it!”
“It’s me.”
On the snow–white ground, Margaery walked over, glanced at Keaton, then looked at Tessa. She continued, “Tessa, do you want to see who the dead person really is?”
Amidst the wind and snow, her tone was calm and steady, without much fluctuation.
It was as if today’s entire scheme had nothing to do with her at all!
Tessa was stunned.
She blinked hard, staring at Margaery in disbelief, and screamed. “Margaery? You’re not dead?”
At such a close distance, Margaery stood not far across from her dressed in an elegant and noble white dress, her cold gaze like that of a deity who sees through the world!
She had actually taken off those ragged clothes from before, and with a bit of grooming, she became very amazing!
Not only was there not a single flaw on her face, but even the so–called poison–induced muteness was nowhere to be found.
She was clearly speaking!
Her voice hadn’t changed at all. Tessa recognized it immediately. She was really Margaery!
It was Tessa who risked everything, setting up such an elaborate scheme, all to kill Margaery.
However, Margaery was alive.
Then, who was the person who was brutally tortured by Raul and the others and was now on the verge of death?
A sense of foreboding suddenly surged in Tessa’s heart.

Tessa shook her head vigorously and said, “No! This is impossible!
“If that’s not you, then who is it?”
But Margaery was standing right in front of her.
After all, they had lived under the same roof for a whole year, and Margaery was the one Tessa hated most. How could Tessa possibly mistake her?
She slowly turned her head, fixating on Raul and the others, her gaze turning resentful and vicious. “So, you colluded together, plotting against me, didn’t you?
“It was you who brought in an impostor, just to make me reveal the truth and expose my own identity, wasn’t it?”
Her voice grew distorted. She felt humiliated and furious, as if she’d been slapped in the face. She continued, “Raul, Joshua, Avery, you have all been deceiving me! You were even acting in front of me!”
She felt she had been completely made a fool of.
But in reality, at this moment, Raul and the others were also stunned.
“Margaery?”
Raul turned his head, and the moment he saw Margaery, his eyes widened in shock. He didn’t even have time to pay attention to Tessa. “Margaery, you’re not dead?” he asked.
Tears instantly welled up in his eyes. He staggered to his feet and walked toward Margaery. “Margaery, my Margaery!”
“You seem to very much wish I were dead,” Margaery said as she stepped back two paces, looking at him indifferently.
Raul suddenly stopped in his tracks, a wave of shame surging in his heart. He said, “Margaery, I’m sorry. We were deceived. It was my blindness that kept me from seeing through her tricks..”
Margaery did not even know what to say.
Joshua, throwing Keaton behind, quickly walked over to Margaery. “Margaery, you’re alive!” he said happily.
Avery also came forward and said, “Fortunately, the one who was supposed to die wasn’t you.”
Margaery’s face showed sarcasm. She said, “I remember the letter I received this morning, inviting me out, which was written by Joshua imitating Phillipa’s handwriting.”
She then looked at Avery and continued, “Sullivan came together with Avery. You all clearly wished I were dead.
“So why is it now that suddenly it’s good that I’m alive?”
Joshua and Avery were speechless.
Both of them were visibly embarrassed, unable to respond to her rebuke.
At this moment, Andrew, in the midst of Leo’s stunned daze, crawled up and rushed toward Margaery. He said, “Margaery!”
He spread his arms, wanting to embrace her.
But Margaery dodged him, leaving behind a cold remark, “No, I am already dead.”
She glanced at Keaton, who was barely crawling and struggling for breath at the edge of the cliff. She continued, “Hiring an assassin to kill is true, and today you all acted together. It’s also true that you hurt me to save Tessa.

“The only difference is that you mistook the person.”

She let out a cold laugh, took out a gemstone, and tossed it to Tessa. She added, “Tessa, you really are calculating. I really admire you.”
Tessa watched as the gemstone flew toward her, a heart–wrenching feeling suddenly surging up. “Why do you have Bertha’s gemstone?” she asked.
