Chapter 216
Previously, she could still make muilled sounds.
Now, even if she wanted to speak, it seemed she had lost all support.
She opened her mouth, but only blood gushed out.
Tessa looked at her, feeling an intense surge of satisfaction.
Margaery, in the end, you are no match for me!

Your father and brothers all live and die for me, willing to destroy you for my sake. What do you have to compare with me?
Her chest trembled with excitement.
Keaton saw her expression and felt a surge of terror rise within.
And this was only the beginning.
“Tessa may be crying, but there is pride in her eyes. The Wallen family cannot see it. Are they blind in sight or blind in
heart?”
Wayne looked down, trembling with anger.
Warren’s face turned utterly grim. “The eldest son of the Wallen family is truly remarkable!”
Putting everything else aside, Margaery was still the Star of Fortune.
But Joshua acted with such cruelty for Tessa’s sake.
‘How is he worthy of the title of Imperial Guard?‘
He looked at Margaery as he spoke, “Last night, when you mentioned turning the tables, I wondered if you were being overly cautious, to the extent of wanting to disfigure yourself.”
“But today, faced with such a tragedy, no amount of caution seems excessive.”
Margaery gave him a somewhat pale smile.
Wayne couldn’t help but say, “I’m rather curious. When Tessa finds out the person who replaced her is Shadow Doctor, what kind of expression will she have?”
“I’m curious too.” Margaery let out a cold laugh.
With the Chancellor’s estate looming overhead, seeking revenge was quite difficult for her.
But it was only difficult. No matter how hard the road, if she kept walking, it eventually became smooth.
This was only the beginning.
Meanwhile, below.
After Joshua made his move, he acted with reckless abandon.
He squinted at Leo, “I’ve done as you asked. Aren’t you going to t Tessa go?
Leo just laughed, “That’s far from enough.”

He glanced at Joshua, then looked at Avery, “I’d like to see Lord Avery’s medical skills. They say medicine and poison go hand in hand, so why not have Lord Avery poison her, make her wish she were dead? That should be possible, right?”
As he spoke, he took out a packet of medicine and shook it, “Same old rules. Either you poison Margaery, or I poison Tessa.”
“You…” Avery hadn’t expected Leo to target him.
But when he glanced at “Margaery” in that state, he found it truly repulsive and had no desire to touch her.
“Avery is the gentlest of us. He probably wouldn’t…”
Russell stared intently downward, his trembling voice full of hope. He couldn’t accept that his family members were like this.
Margaery let out a cold laugh, “Avery is gentle?”
If he were truly gentle, he wouldn’t have incited Clyde to stab her immediately upon his return.
Avery always tried to smooth things over, pretending to be considerate, but it was all for appearances.
In secret, he’s more cunning than anyone.
He never acted himself, but always incited others to do so. He was the best at muddying the waters.
Thinking of Avery’s attempts to smooth things over and his behind–the–scenes embellishments, Margaery found it somewhat ironic.
Russell bit his lip, wanting to let the facts speak for themselves.
However, the facts slapped him in the face because Avery only hesitated for a moment.
At the instant when Leo pried open Tessa’s mouth to feed her the medicine, Avery stuffed the poison into Keaton’s mouth at the fastest speed.
Russell felt his face burning.
Avery and Andrew were the most mild–mannered among their brothers, yet Avery, when ruthless, was no less merciless than anyone else.
“It seems he isn’t so gentle after all.”
Dashnell narrowed his eyes and glanced at Russell.
Russell was speechless. His face burned, and his heart felt as if it had sunk into an icy pool, leaving only despair.
“I’ve already poisoned her. Let Tessa go!” Avery glanced at Keaton, then looked at Leo.
“The poison hasn’t taken effect yet.” Leo let out a cold laugh.
Tessa leaned against Leo’s arms, her eyes fixed on “Margaery“. Watching her scratch at herself and roll on the ground, struggling madly, she almost burst out laughing with joy.
But it wasn’t the right time yet
She glanced at Leo.
Leo looked at Andrew, “Lord Andrew, the person dearest to my family was killed by Margaery. When they died, not even their body was whole. Now it’s your turn to act!”

Andrew frowned, “What more do you want?”
He glanced at Keaton, actually feeling a bit conflicted.
After all, in this life, he felt there was no deep grudge between himself and Margaery, and he couldn’t remember the previous life.
Now, “Margaery” was already miserable enough.
Tessa looked at him like this, and a surge of anger and discomfort welled up in her heart.
She wanted to destroy the Wallen family.
But her envy and jealousy of Margaery were also real.
The first time she met Margaery, she lamented the unfairness of fate.
Margaery was able to enjoy wealth and honor in the Chancellor’s estate for more than ten years, while she became an orphan raised in a brothel since childhood. Even with the help of Keaton, she still could not escape a fate of being trained and trampled upon.
This was also the main reason why she had desperately tried to take everything away from Margaery over the past year.
Yet unexpectedly, when the things had come to this point, Andrew was actually hesitating.
Ultimately, matters had slipped beyond her control, and the timing was not yet ripe.
Nevertheless, regardless of whether Andrew was willing that day, the situation was already irreversible.
Even if he did not act for Tessa, he had to act for the Chancellor’s estate against Margaery.
Standing at a distance, she let out a soft laugh in Leo’s arms.
It was so faint that only Leo could hear it.
Leo knowingly looked at Andrew, “I want Margaery’s legs. If you can cut off her legs, I will release Tessa.”
“Otherwise, the ones to be broken will be Tessa’s legs.”
He pressed the dagger against Tessa’s thigh.
“I keep my word.”
A cruel smile appeared in Leo’s eyes.
Tessa cried out in fear, “Andrew!”
Andrew’s expression turned grim as he looked at Keaton, who was writhing and struggling on the ground.
Keaton’s eyes were filled with terror and unwillingness.
Yet she could not speak.
Andrew could not bring himself to act. After all, hiring a killer and doing it himself were two entirely different things.
Moreover, he was only seventeen this year and had never done anything so bloody.
As he stood in a daze, Raul’s heavy voice came from behind, “Dot. This is her destined end.”

His voice trembled, carrying something Andrew could not understand.
“Father, I…” Andrew looked at him, his body trembling slightly.
“Raul is acting strangely.”

Dashnell noticed something odd, “He came to save Tessa, but his attention is not entirely on her. Occasionally, he seems distracted, as if something else is weighing on his mind. There is more to this matter than meets the eye.”
Margaery could not help but marvel at his astonishing powers of observation and judgment.
“Tessa is here for revenge,” Margaery glanced at Dashnell and said quietly, “Her mother was brutally killed by Raul, and when she died, her body was left mutilated just like this.”
“When that kidnapper spoke today and made such demands, Raul must have recalled that incident and realized that the kidnapper was not targeting me, but him.”
“He became afraid and wanted to sacrifice me to settle the matter.”
Margaery let out a cold laugh. “If nothing unexpected happens, after rescuing Tessa, he will likely send someone to hunt down those two kidnappers.”
