ve it away, and at this time there was fresh blood flowing from her groin, clearly not a good sign. She was panicked and didn't know what to do.After hearing the sound, Wei Cai only then realized ther...The ripple of that move left the women seated at the long table stunned. They all jumped to their feet, instinctively grasping their customary weapons: knives, guns, swords, spears – a veritable arsenal of anything and everything you could imagine.

However, Lian Yi pursed her lips and smiled at the female players who were watching her with caution, saying:

"As a person, I hate it most when others wrongly accuse me. If I've done something, I'll naturally admit to it. If I haven't, then I haven't!"

Having finished speaking, Ripple's gaze shifted to Henry, who was staring at her with an unreadable expression.

"Right now, there's a convenient template available. Mr. Henry could have someone verify it and see if Rowling's and this person's necks were broken by the same twist."

"Miss Ripples, they are all my guests. What you're doing is embarrassing me."

Henry said faintly.

"Humph! I haven't said you were inhospitable, and you're already blaming me!"

Every night someone dies, and you can still sleep soundly and flirt with other women. You're heartless. I don't know about the others, but didn't Lorraine spend the whole night with you last night

What promise did you make to her Was it points, equipment, or something she desperately needed, so she agreed to be with you Wasn't the person who went to her room last night you

Faced with a barrage of rapid-fire questions, Henry's face changed color before returning to normal. He said with a hint of sadness:

"Miss Ripple, I hope you won't jump to conclusions. I've already sent someone to town to find the sheriff. They should be on their way now and arrive at the castle soon. They will give everyone an explanation, so please remain calm!"

Henry's first half was directed at the ripples, but his words after that were meant to soothe everyone.

"So, being unjustly suspected, all I could do was take precautions to protect myself. I hope Mr. Henry will forgive my rashness. Coming here alone, I am still very afraid."

The rippling, feigned pats on the chest were an attempt to convey fear. It would have been more convincing if there hadn't been a corpse with its neck twisted right beside them.

Henry's eyelids twitched, only managing a wry smile as he indulgently said:

"Miss Ripple, for the sake of being a guest, I won't pursue this matter this time. I hope you can stay in the castle at ease and don't do such frightening things again."

Of course, if no one bothers me, I'm too lazy to care.

Ripples brushed her raven hair idly, and she spoke calmly.

"Even breakfast was so greasy, I didn't even have an appetite after looking at it. I don't know how you guys eat it."

R ripples glanced at the bloody steak on the table and said disdainfully.

"I had the kitchen send some refreshments to Miss Ripple."

Henry immediately said, then glanced at the silent Lacey, motioning for her to do it.

Lessie immediately got up and walked over with a smile, saying:

"Miss Ripple, I'll take you to the kitchen. You can tell the chef what you want to eat directly."

As soon as the ripples and Lacey left, servants immediately carried away the woman’s body. Henry apologized:

"I'm so sorry! I startled everyone, and it was my fault. As compensation, I will give each of you 10,000 points."

As Henry's words trailed off, a series of "ding ding" notifications sounded, informing everyone that their accounts had been credited with 10,000 points. The faces of the attendees then brightened.

Henry then took the beauties to the small garden for a meal, preparing a new table of delicious dishes to apologize to everyone, and that was how the matter was swept under the rug.

On the other side, Lacey smiled playfully and went to the kitchen with ripples. She asked the skillful pastry chef to make some baked cheesecake and cookies. Then, the two of them were in the kitchen, smelling the aroma of baking cookies and chatting.

"Miss Lacey, were you frightened by what just happened"

"You do have a point, but I also understand Ripple's feelings. If I were wrongly accused, I wouldn't be happy either, and I don't have the same courage as you to fight back."

Lacy said softly.

"Do you know why they're deliberately targeting me"

"It's because Henry's attitude towards you. Even though you clearly stated that you have a fiance, Henry seems to really like you and keeps confessing his feelings. They think you have a high chance of being chosen, so they are targeting you."

Leisy said helplessly.

"Oh! Jealousy twists people! But I can understand. Someone like me, who possesses both beauty and intelligence, is indeed a target of envy."

Ripples said boldly.

Lacy lifted her teacup and took a sip of the hot tea, saying nothing in response to Ripples' words.

"By the way, when I first arrived, someone warned me not to go out and see what was happening if I heard anything at night, and they told me not to go to the third floor. I'm very curious, what's on the third floor of this old castle Do you know"

Ripple blinked and immediately changed the subject.

"Reacy almost choked on her tea, she quickly dabbed at her lips with a napkin and spoke in a hushed voice: "

"Miss Ripple, I advise you not to be too curious. I've never been to the third floor either. Only Henry can go up there, and he can only take his chosen wife. There are no exceptions."

"That's too bad, I thought there was some secret hidden on top!"

The ripples are intended to convey a deeper meaning.

Lacy still didn't respond.

The ripples showed nothing. After eating two biscuits, she took Lacey for a walk outside the castle.

"Huh Did we get a new florist The one who brought me red roses yesterday is gone"

Liàn Yī watched the middle-aged man tending his rose garden.

He is the son of an old gardener and today officially takes over his father's job.

Lacy smiled, explaining and then called out:

"Wade, bring me a red rose!"

The middle-aged man tending the flower field, head bowed, heard this and cut a red rose. He walked over and handed it to Lian Yi.

Ripples glanced at the other person, smiling as she took the flower and held it under her nose, smelling it. She then smiled and said:

The fragrance of this flower is even more intense!

"Yes! This is the season when roses are in full bloom. Every year at this time, the castle is surrounded by a rich floral fragrance, which is refreshing and uplifting."

Words that inspire awe.

"I look forward to the time when roses are in full bloom throughout the garden, and I can smell the fragrance of the flowers you speak of."

"Miss will definitely be able to."

Wande glanced at the ripples, then turned and continued pruning the branches.

That evening's banquet continued, but Ripple didn't want to face those hypocritical women and certainly didn't want to live across from a room that had housed the deceased. She chose another guestroom for herself. Lacey smiled throughout, raising no objections.

In the dead of night, the painting hanging above the bed moved again, its sharp claws reaching straight for Ren's heart.

Ripple didn't even open her eyes before reaching out and grabbing the opponent's wrist. With a burst of strength, she pulled the massive creature out of the painting. Then, she used all her might to throw it against the door. Before the opponent could get up, Ripple kicked them and the door together, sending them flying outside.

Then, Ripple cleared her throat and let out a shrill, ear-piercing scream:

"Oh! Come quickly! There's a monster eating people!!!"family courtyard. Two policemen found the person who reported the incident, Wen Jing, to understand the situation. Han Jing was one of the parties involved, and the surrounding residents also activel...
