As a villain, he could do whatever he wanted.

Looking at Lilith, Leah displayed a magnanimous demeanor, pondering the future as she smiled and said to Lilith:

"In terms of age... Miss Lilith should be a bit older than Lia, right? When she's by my brother's side, we'll have to call each other sisters. After Lia becomes my brother's wife, she'll take good care of you, sister. Let's work hard together for my brother."

"Well……"

Lilith was driven to near madness by Leah's earnest yet gentle words.

Despite her efforts to refute, Lilith couldn't convince the white-haired girl in front of her, and fearing that Diana's affair would be exposed, she could only grit her teeth, lower her head, and accept Lia's statement with a tacit agreement...

Chapter Forty-Five: Please forgive me!

Let's shift our focus from the two girls with differing mindsets at the dining table and continue looking at the rooms on the third floor.

"Bang bang bang!"

At this moment, standing at the door of Diana's room, Lius gently knocked on the door, and before the person inside could respond, he pushed the door open and entered.

"Excuse me, is Ms. Diana awake?"

"call……"

On the bed, the blonde beauty lay naked in the bedding, covered by a thin blanket, still fast asleep.

The soft, silky blanket covered every inch of Diana's skin, delicate and close-fitting, especially highlighting her high, firm breasts, which fully showcased her alluring mature charm.

"Ha, Ms. Diana's figure is truly captivating..."

With a keen interest, Leus glanced over Diana's curvaceous body, then smiled and moved closer to her. Gazing at the young woman's alluring face, he gently reached out and kneaded her cheek while whispering in her ear:

"Wake up, Ms. Diana, it's already morning."

"Well……"

Feeling the kneading sensation on her face, Diana, who had been fast asleep, frowned slightly, her eyelids trembled a few times, and then she slowly opened her eyes with a soft hum, looking around sleepily.

"Hoo... I'm..."

As the sunlight streamed in through the window, Diana was momentarily stunned in her hazy state before snapping back to reality. She blinked sharply, seemingly realizing her naked body under the covers. A look of panic flashed in her eyes, and she let out a scream.

"Oh! My clothes...why..."

Instinctively, Diana pulled the blankets tighter over herself, revealing a terrified and flustered expression. Her eyes widened as she clutched her chest, shrinking back as if trying to understand what was happening. Lius, seizing the opportunity, stepped forward and smiled at the frightened young woman, saying:

"Ms. Diana is awake. How did you sleep last night?"

"you……"

Upon noticing the blond-haired boy sitting beside her, looking at her with a meaningful smile, Diana felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and a flood of memories rushed into her mind.

Hypnotized by Leus in some way, she fell in love with this boy she originally looked down upon, offering him her body, losing what is most precious to a woman, and even recognizing him as her husband, telling him about her family secrets...

All of these things swirled in Diana's mind, causing her to cover her lips in disbelief.

"How could I... how could I..."

Dina muttered unconscious words, her face trembling.

Hatred, humiliation, resentment, injustice...

Countless emotions swirled between the blonde woman's brows, causing two clear tears to stream from her sapphire-like eyes. She then gritted her teeth and looked at Leus, her trembling lips uttering a series of almost collapsing and resentful sounds:

"Why! Why did you... Waaah... You scum! You pervert! You've done all this to me..."

"Hehe, why do you ask me? Isn't this exactly what you wanted, Ms. Diana? Otherwise, why would you have been tempting me all this time? I must say, Ms. Diana's voice is truly delightful..."

Leaning close to Diana's face, Leus gently stroked her tear-streaked, fair cheek, deliberately revealing a slightly arrogant and wicked smile. Then, with an air of entitlement, he shrugged and helped Diana recall her past "deeds."

“She deliberately exposed her chest to me, asking for a magical mineral vein in a territory; she invited me to Ms. Diana’s mansion, rubbing her toes, clad in black stockings, close to me, trying to seduce me into signing a family contract; and once Ms. Diana even directly said that she wanted me to be her husband in the future, asking me to give her a territory as a dowry. I remember all of these things very well!”

As Lius recounted the series of benefits he had once given to Diana, he placed his hand on her cheek, smiling as he stroked her skin downwards, enjoying the smooth skin of the blonde beauty's neck and the expression on her face that was gradually sinking into despair.

"Oh? Judging from the expression on Ms. Diana's face, did you think I wouldn't dare to make a move? Did you think I would keep being taken advantage of like a sucker? Ha, I'm so sorry! I couldn't help but have some fun with Ms. Diana last night, and I will continue to enjoy your body in the days to come, and make up for all my previous losses!"

"you……"

"Hehe, since you want to seduce me with your body, you should be prepared for things to go wrong, especially a beauty like Ms. Diana. From the first day I met Ms. Diana, I have been hoping to make her my partner. I never expected that Ms. Diana would take the initiative to seduce me like this. I am really grateful to Ms. Diana for fulfilling my wish!"

"Bastard...pervert..."

Trembling, Diana blushed and pushed the boy away through gritted teeth, struggling to stay wrapped tightly in the blanket, using this thin "defense" to try to maintain her almost non-existent dignity.

"Get out...get out of here! I will never...I will never become your wife! If you really force me, after I leave here, I will expose your affair. Even if my reputation is ruined, you won't get away with it..."

"Oh? Is that so? Before you say that, Ms. Diana, would you like to take a look at this first?"

Looking at the blonde beauty threatening him, Lius maintained his previous composed smile, took out an exquisitely wrapped document from his pocket, and slowly unfolded it in front of Diana.

Meanwhile, Diana stared at the words on the document, her eyes widening in shock.

As if struck by a heavy hammer, she collapsed onto the bed in disbelief, a look of despair in her eyes.

"This...why...how could you have..."

"Hehe, when I was making love with Ms. Diana yesterday, I also checked your clothes a little. I didn't expect to actually find Ms. Diana's family seal inside. In order to prevent Ms. Diana from breaking the contract like just now, I used it a little to leave a certificate of our marriage!"

As he spoke with a smile, Lius pointed to the seals bearing the two family crests on the document. The words "marriage contract" at the top, bearing the names of Diana and Lius, seemed to pierce the young woman's heart like a series of knives and needles, causing her face to contort in pain.

"So, now you should understand your situation, shouldn't you, Ms. Diana?"

"..."

With her chin gently lifted by Lius, Diana stared blankly at the boy in front of her, who was almost old enough to be her son, and nearly fainted in an instant.

Lius spoke in a very gentle tone and always addressed Diana with respect, as if he were truly treating a respected elder. However, with the marriage contract bearing their fingerprints beside her, this respect only deepened the humiliation in Diana's heart.

Especially when she thought about how she would forever dedicate herself to this lecherous young master, becoming his wife like a slave, Diana let her arms hang limply. Her thin defenses completely collapsed in this breakdown, revealing the "prize" that attracted Lius under the covers like a trophy.

"Now, it's Ms. Diana's turn to give a formal answer. Come on, please call me 'My dear husband' as we did last night."

As if giving a command, Leus smiled and spoke to Diana, who blinked sharply, snapping out of her dizziness. She grabbed Leus's arm anxiously and shook her head repeatedly.

"No...please, this is the only thing you can't do, young master Lius...Lord Lius, please spare me! If you spare me, I'll agree to any conditions. We're willing to forgo any benefits in the cooperation between our families, and you can take back our previous territories whenever you wish. Please, I beg you..."

Finally, Dina collapsed from the bed onto the floor, her body trembling. She knelt before Lius in a dogeza (a traditional Thai bowing gesture) and pleaded repeatedly.

Diana's fair skin and high-raised buttocks gave her an alluring and voluptuous appearance. Coupled with her hysterical pleas for mercy, this completely shattered the noblewoman's original pride and dignity.

At this moment, Diana, in the posture of a loser, knelt down before the enemy she hated, begging only for Lius to spare her.

Of course, as for Leus, he naturally didn't want to let go of the blonde beauty in front of him. Instead, he felt a bit playful at Diana's near-collapse.

"I never expected this scheming wicked woman to kneel down and beg for mercy. She really is a high-attack, low-defense old devil..."

Recalling the scene of Diana calmly seducing him earlier, and comparing it with the blonde beauty who was now bowing down to him, the contrast between the two images intensified Lius's desire for conquest and sense of accomplishment.

Driven by this ever-growing desire, Leus's fingers touched another marriage contract in his arms, the one bearing Lilith's name, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Ha, but even though Ms. Diana has ulterior motives, she does have some redeeming qualities, especially her care for Lilith, which is something worth making good use of..."

As he pondered this, gazing at the blonde beauty kneeling before him, Leus smiled with interest and then softly spoke:

"If I cancel the engagement, Ms. Diana, are you really willing to agree to any conditions? Any 'conditions'?"

Lius deliberately feigned deep thought, his words acting like forbidden fruit, endlessly alluring to Diana. At the same time, his gaze lightly swept over the kneeling young woman, revealing a subtle, almost imperceptible, calculation…

Chapter Forty-Six: Recognizing a Thief as a Husband

"If I let Ms. Diana go, are you really willing to pay any price, Ms. Diana?"

"Gu..."

Hearing Lius's initially firm tone soften, Diana blinked, as if grasping at a lifeline, swallowed hard, and quickly nodded in reply:

"Yes...yes! As long as that marriage contract is destroyed, I promise to offer the Furen family's territory. I also have some very beautiful maids at home, and if Young Master Lius wishes...they can all be used at will. I also promise to keep what happened last night a secret and never let it be exposed. Please, Young Master Lius, agree..."

"Is that so? Haha, alright then, I'll agree to Ms. Diana's request."

After nodding slightly, Lius held the engagement contract with Diana in his hand, making a gesture as if he was about to tear it up. Diana, on the other hand, blinked in surprise, seemingly not expecting Lius to agree so readily.

"Young Master Leus, you...you just agreed like that?"

"Of course, would I lie? Ms. Diana, you've offered such a generous reward, so I'm naturally happy to accept it."

As if stating something perfectly natural, Lius smiled and nodded, while Diana, still seemingly uneasy, raised her head while remaining kneeling and continued to question the boy above her:

"If that's really the case, then Young Master Lius... what kind of reward do you want? Is it the mines treasured by my family, or that newly opened business line? Or perhaps some other treasures? You wouldn't be thinking of taking this opportunity to seize all of my family's territory, would you...?"

"Ha, Ms. Dinah, you're quite the joker. Although I've played many tricks on you before, I'm not that shameless!"

In response to Diana's words, Lius simply smiled, shook his head, and gently swung the marriage contract in his hand.

"I will not ask for a single thing from Ms. Diana's territory and treasures. As long as you, Ms. Diana, are willing to give me your blessing, that will be more than enough. I will also tear up the engagement in my hand immediately."

“A…blessing?” Diana repeated, puzzled.

"Yes, as long as you, Ms. Diana, are willing to wish Lilith and me a smooth married life, then I am willing to let you go as well."

"Huh? Wh...what!?"

Upon hearing Lius's words, Diana abruptly raised her head and looked at the boy's face with a shocked expression.

Under Diana's astonished gaze, Lius smiled and pulled out another marriage contract from his pocket, the very same document that Lilith and he had secretly signed the previous night.

On the document, Lilith's fingerprint and family seal shimmered slightly, paired with the marriage contract next to it bearing Diana's name, symbolizing the absurd fact that Diana and Lilith, mother and daughter, were about to marry the same man.

"How...how could this happen..."

Staring at the two contracts above her head, Diana looked like a frightened child, her lifeless pupils showing a dazed expression as she tried to convince herself to escape reality.

"It can't be like this... It's impossible... This must be my dream..."

"Ha, I must say, they really are mother and daughter. Last night, when Lilith was in despair, she kept muttering the same thing!"

Leaning down gently, Lius whispered in Diana's ear, his soft voice shattering the young woman's last psychological defenses.

"Then, please give me a mother's blessing. Don't worry, I will take good care of your daughter, and I will love Lilith with several times more passion than I do for you. Please bless us, Mother-in-law."

"..."

After saying this, Leus smiled and moved a little closer, intending to carefully observe the sorrowful expression that Diana might show next.

However, what the blonde woman did next took Leus somewhat by surprise.

"boom!"

"Oh?"

After blinking, Lius blinked again in surprise as he looked at Diana, who suddenly jumped up in front of him and pinned him against the wall in a "wall slam" position.

After realizing what was happening, he noticed Diana's slightly trembling arm and her expressionless face as she looked down, and he couldn't help but show a look of interest.

"Oh? What is Mother-in-law trying to do by suddenly doing something like this?"

With a soft laugh, Leus deliberately asked in a questioning tone, while Diana, trembling, bit her lip and pressed her translucent body against the wall. In this wanton and shameful scene, she lowered her head and forced out dry, weak sounds:

"Only in private..."

"Oh? Only in private?"

"Only in private... will you be my husband. As long as you stop caring about Lilith's engagement, I'm willing to treat you like a husband in private... I'll do anything you ask..."

Taking a deep breath, Diana seemed to have made up her mind. With a sorrowful expression, she wiped away her tearful eyes, then slowly raised her head in front of Lius, withdrawing her original expression of resentment and grief, and replacing it with a forced, tender smile.

“Young Master Lius, my body… is far more comfortable than Lilith’s. How could a little girl like my daughter possibly satisfy your desires? So… so… please destroy that marriage contract and let me be your companion… don’t worry about Lilith…”

"Hmm... Hearing these words from Ms. Diana is quite exciting, to say the least. To actually make a move on her own daughter's fiancé, Ms. Diana is truly insatiable."

"Yes...yes, I am a sexually frustrated young woman. Please, Young Master Lius, have some fun with me, I beg you..."

Seeing Diana's almost hysterical, broken smile, Leus nodded in satisfaction. He was quite pleased with the outcome of his interaction with the blonde beauty that day. After stroking Diana's soft face, he decided to end their morning conversation.

"Alright, since you put it that way, Ms. Diana, I have no choice but to reluctantly agree. The engagement with Lilith will remain a secret for now. As for you, Ms. Diana... you must remember your previous agreement and take on the responsibilities of a wife in private. Otherwise, I'm willing to repay Lilith's debts at any time!"

"Yes...yes, I understand. Thank you...thank you for your consideration, Lord Lius. I am deeply grateful..."

"Will you still call me young master? At this time, Ms. Diana, how should you address me?"

Approaching Diana, Leus smiled and wrapped his arm around the young woman's delicate waist, pulling her arm, which had been pressed against the wall, closer as well. He gently tasted the smooth, fleshy arm with his lips, while Diana's lips twitched slightly at Leus's actions, then, maintaining a forced smile, she opened her lips tremblingly:

"Haha... Look how anxious I am, I actually forgot how to address my husband. Guh, my... my dear husband, please forgive my rudeness. I will make it up to you later. Please calm down, my dear husband, and don't take your anger out on Lilith."
