At this moment, his hatred for Catherine increased a bit, he didn't expect Catherine to be so despicable!
If Martha saw him at the wedding tomorrow, she would misunderstand that he had accepted the fact and given up on her.
Stefan's pupils shrank, his hand clenched, and anger filled his eyes.
In order to achieve her goal, Catherine actually used such means!
But now he couldn't do anything to stop it from happening.
He gradually stiffened, and then couldn't move an inch. Even his voice became hoarse, and finally he couldn't speak a word.
Martha wasn't any better then Stefan.
In the middle of the night, she was woken up by the maids to change into the wedding gown.
Since Stefan was controlled by Catherine, Martha had to change into the wedding gown and let the maid dress her up.
After it was done, the maids left.
Soon, Martha was alone in the room.
She stared blankly at herself in the mirror, indifferently waiting for the wedding ceremony.
At this moment, she vaguely heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
At first, she didn't care who it was, and thought it was a court lady.
Unexpectedly, the person who came in was Catherine's trusted guard, and Catherine's only confidant.
Martha looked at him coldly, knowing that he must have been sent by Catherine.
She pursed her lips tightly, ignoring the visitor.
The guard took a look at Martha, his eyes darkened, and he turned and closed the door.
When Martha saw that he had closed the door, she frowned slightly, and looked at him with increasingly unfriendly eyes.
After the door was closed, the guard looked at Martha with a serious expression.
"I'm not your enemy. I'm here to help you."
A trace of doubt flashed across Martha's eyes. Her indifferent voice said, "What do you mean?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the guard introduced himself-
"My name is Horadus. I have been Catherine's bodyguard since I was a child, and I have followed her until now. I know all her secrets!"
Martha pursed her red lips tightly when she heard this, and she didn't understand what the visitor meant by saying that.
Horadus saw the doubt in Martha's eyes, and continued, "Since Catherine lost her lover and child, her mood has changed drastically. She beat and scolded us frequently. I couldn't bear the humiliation, so I came to you."
Having said this, Horadus looked at Martha meaningfully, and his gloomy, somewhat bewitching continued, "Martha, I know all her secrets, and I'd like to help you."
Martha, standing opposite him, frowned, and looked at the guard alertly.
"What do you want to say?"
She didn't believe what Horadus said.
Horadus was Catherine's confidant. She didn't think he would betray Catherine so easily?
Maybe it was another conspiracy by Catherine.
Horadus sensed Martha's hesitation and took a step forward.
"What I said is true. If it weren't for Catherine, I wouldn't have been tortured and humiliated. I am afraid I would be killed by Catherine before I could reveal her secrets, so I've been waiting for someone who can work with me to appear."
Now, the one he thought that could work with him was Martha.
