Reborn I Refuse To Save The Traitors (Margaery) novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Get Rid Of Them

Margaery was surrounded by the chaos of voices, feeling as though she had returned to the day before her death in her previous life.

She had finally found the evidence that proved Tessa wasn't a true member of the Wallen family, but the daughter of an enemy family.

Tessa's purpose for entering the Wallen family was to bring ruin upon them and eventually take control of the entire Chancellor's estate.

Fearing for Raul's and five brothers' safety, Margaery rushed home to reveal the truth and warn them to be cautious.

But instead of being met with gratitude, she was slapped by her third brother, Russell, who called her a vile, irredeemable person—too wicked even to die peacefully.

In the end, to protect Tessa, they killed her with their own hands.

They declared that the Wallen family had no need for a daughter like her.

On the day Tessa was kidnapped by bandits, there wasn't a hint of fear on her face. Instead, she seemed almost pleased.

Because the kidnapping was part of her plan.

It was all meant to silence Margaery, and in the end, Tessa gleefully told her that her brothers were willing to scatter her ashes for the sake of Tessa.

As these memories resurfaced, Margaery couldn't help but smile coldly.

She would certainly apologize to Tessa, but not in the way they expected.

She would help Tessa rise to the top of the Sinderin City's elite, watching as those who once adored her were sent to their graves, and then send Tessa to hell.

"What's this? Are you not sincere in your apology, trying to brush things off?"

Russell's cruel voice rang in her ear.

Avery looked at Margaery with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

But she had done wrong, and now she had to face the consequences. So he urged her, "Margaery, now that you understand, just apologize to Tessa properly. We're all family now."

Not a single person spoke up for Margaery.

Even Raul stood by, silent and observing.

This was a hunt aimed solely at her.

In her previous life, she had already endured this, only to be locked back in the firewood shed, left to nearly die before they finally released her.

This time, she wouldn't fall into the same trap again.

Amid the clamor, Margaery finally spoke.

"Sorry, Tessa. These past few days in the firewood shed, I've been thinking about that day, and it feels like my heart is being torn apart."

She sighed, resigned. "But Father has already said, there's no place for me to speak in this family. Next time, don't bring up decisions that have already been made by everyone, and don't go to dangerous places like the artificial mountain.

"But no matter what, this time, it's all my fault. Please, Tessa, forgive me and don't hold it against me."

Her words were sincere, filled with regret.

The room fell silent, everyone exchanging confused glances.

"Margaery's words are curious. Why did Tessa go to the artificial mountain in such cold weather? If Tessa is so frail, why would she go to such a place to find Margaery?"

"It's odd, isn't it? Tessa is supposed to be afraid of her, but why would she go alone to such a place?"

Considering the rumors that had already spread, it wasn't hard to guess:

Margaery, heartbroken by the fact that Raul and the five young brothers of the Wallen family had made the decision to bring Tessa into the family without consulting her, had run to the artificial mountain, crying, throwing a tantrum, and even threatening suicide.

Tessa, who could have easily gone home, still chose to go to her, flaunting her superiority. Wasn't that just twisting the knife in Margaery's heart?

So, whether she fell by accident or was pushed, wasn't it her own fault?

The people in the room, men and women alike, all came from prestigious families.

Who didn't know the ugly truths behind closed doors?

The looks exchanged between them as they glanced at Tessa and Margaery became incredibly telling.

Suddenly, someone asked Russell, "Lord Russell, you were the one who said Margaery pushed Tessa down the artificial mountain, right? Did you see it happen?"

"I—"

Russell hesitated, caught off guard.

Before he could think of a response, someone quickly interrupted, "How could he have seen it? That day, he was with me, attending class at Inkwell Academy!"

"Lord Chancellor, isn't there any witness to this?" asked Serena, the noble consort, from her seat of authority.

Raul froze for a moment. "Tessa said…"

Tessa hadn't expected things to unfold this way. Seeing the skeptical expression on Raul's face, she immediately burst into tears.

"Father, although it was snowing heavily that day and there were hardly any people around, Margaery's maid, Paige, saw everything!"

Tessa, worried that Paige Clemons might crack under the pressure and reveal everything, quickly backtracked. "But no matter what, I don't blame Margaery anymore. Let's just let this matter go.

"I only want to get along with Margaery. I don't want to cause any more trouble in the family."
