Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 455

Chapter 455 Tit for Tat

After King Ducasse left angrily, the ward fell into silence again.

Martha glanced at the man standing at the door with an odd expression, then lowered her eyelids and slowly lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

She walked over to the window and pulled back the heavy curtains, just in time to see the sky starting to brighten. The sun had just risen not far away, casting a faint red glow across the sky.

Martha's eyes darkened, and a wry smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.

When would she be able to watch the sunrise with Jimmy again?

After a long time, Louis' dull voice sounded in the ward, breaking the silence at this moment.

"You are too impulsive today, you shouldn't tell King Ducasse these things now."

Martha shook her head slightly, indifferently looking at the slowly rising sun not far away.

"I don't want to hide anything from King Ducasse. He's been good to me and I'm afraid his sincerity will be misplaced if I don't tell him about what's going on."

Louis pursed his thin lips when he heard this, and remained silent.

The woman standing by the window pursed her lips slightly, and said with a light smile, "Louis, it's very tiring to lie to someone, because if you tell a lie, you have to use countless lies to cover up the original lie."

The man's golden eyes sank, and he sighed helplessly.

He knew that Martha hated the word "lie" and hated being deceived by others, so she didn't want to be a person who deceived others.

But... would telling truth really make everything better?

Louis didn't know what consequences would result from King Ducasse's anger but he knew that after Martha spoke out about it all she would feel much more relaxed.

He hesitated for a while, but couldn't help asking.

"Aren't you afraid that things will get worse because of this?"

Martha turned around and looked straight at Louis behind her before saying solemnly, "You don't have to marry into the royal family to find out the truth of the matter."

"Elsie is my mother, and I want to know the truth about her death more than anyone else, but this is not a reason for me to deceive King Ducasse's feelings."

Louis pursed his thin lips tightly and did not speak.

He admitted that what Martha said made sense, but if she didn't marry into the royal family, how could she have the power to compete with Gage and the others?

As these thoughts ran through his mind, Louis couldn't help but ask, "Without the support of King Ducasse, how can we compete with Gage and them?"
