The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 338

They had no use for that kind of shallow, conditional affection.

And they certainly didn't need the Corrington family drowning in guilty hesitation between two daughters.

Having said her piece, she turned and walked out.

She was a psychologist.

She knew she wasn't wrong.

As Lucia spoke, Morgan felt as if an invisible hand was wrapping around his throat, choking off any counterargument.

Had the hidden dangers really grown this massive right beneath their noses?

Morgan lowered his cane, putting the pieces together. So, Lucia intentionally exposing Rhiannon to tank the Corrington family's reputation and sabotage their cash flow—it was all a setup just so Juno would step in to save them.

Lucia knew exactly how capable Juno was; pulling the Corringtons back from the brink would be child's play for her.

And the act of saving their empire would serve as the ultimate, undeniable compensation.

Compensation for occupying their biological daughter's identity.

She was a brilliant psychologist, but she was an equally ruthless businesswoman.

Her calculations were terrifyingly precise.

This way, if the Corringtons ever tried to hold anything against Juno in the future, her conscience would be completely clear.

What Lucia wanted was for LORD to be able to walk away without an ounce of guilt or obligation when the time came.

Her ability to see the grand chessboard was no less formidable than Juno's.

It was, quite frankly, awe-inspiring.

She was eliminating the threat before it even materialized.

If nothing bad happened, great. But if it did, they were fully prepared to burn everything to the ground.

Yet, if Morgan could piece this together, how could Juno not see it too?

There was a saying among outsiders: "There isn't a single decent human being in the Obsidian Court."

And that rumor didn't come from nowhere.

Sometimes, the people of the Obsidian Court weren't blind to the manipulation; they were just incredibly good at playing dumb.

A few days later.

Looking utterly sleep-deprived, Lucia dozed off while standing right behind Ryker.
