Chapter 1225 Malicious Woman
Erm stood at the doorway, a cold smile playing on her lips “Lizbeth, even though you’re clever, you’re still too late. I’ve inverted a sewing needle into Flynn’s navel, and it will make him suffer a slow and painful death. Soon enough, he’ll meet his end’
Hahaha, and no one will suspect a thing
Leaving Flynn’s room, Lizbeth descended to the second floor and entered her parents master bedroom.
“Knock, knock, she tapped on the door
Paul and Mrs. Murphy were still awake, discussing matters related to Lizbeth’s dowry.
With a knock on the door. Lizbeth’s voice came from outside, Dad, Mom, are you asleep?”
“Not yet.” Mrs. Murphy answered from within the room, crossing through the living room to open the door. “What’s the matter, Liz? It’s quite late, and you’re still awake?”
“Adrien suddenly came over, Lizbeth said, “He seemed in a hurry, so I thought I’d let you know.”
“Your father and I will come down right away,” Mrs. Murphy said, “You can inform your elder brother.” “Sure,” Lizbeth nodded, a hint of apology in her expression. “Sorry to disturb you both this late.”
“Why worry about that?” Mrs. Murphy’s demeanor softened. “Adrien wouldn’t come at this hour without a
reason.”
“Indeed, Paul had already put on his casual attire, Tm heading downstairs.”
Lizbeth then proceeded to the third floor and knocked on the door of Edmond’s bedroom.
Edmond was in conversation with Erin
Erin looked somber, her gaze downeast as she whispered. “I can tell, Mrs. Murphy and Liz don’t like me.”
“Don’t take it to heart, Edmond reassured her, his arm around her shoulder. “My mother is serious but has a good heart, and Liz has a sharp tongue but a tender heart. Once you get to know them better, things will improve.”
“Is it because of my humble background! Mrs. Murphy and Liz look down on me, don’t they?” Erin’s eyes reddened at the corners
“Don’t think that way,” Edmond said. “I won’t care about your background. I like you, and what’s more. you’re carrying my child.”
“Edmond, you’re good to me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to dream of being a part of the Murphy family.”
Erin nestled into Edmond’s embrace, her eyes gleaming with a sinister smirk.
Murphy family. I’ll bring every one of you down!
Paul, how you treat me, that’s how I’ll treat you!
When I marry Edmond, I’ll kick you out of the Murphy family just like a dog!

Begging me?
Hmph! Even if you beg on your knees!
I won’t show any mercy. I’ll slap you awake if I have to!
“Knock, knock,” the door interrupted her thoughts.
Shattering Edmond’s thoughts of intimacy with Erin.
“Big brother,” Lizbeth’s voice came from outside, “Are you asleep?”
“About to sleep.” Edmond impatiently asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Adrien suddenly arrived. He might have something urgent. Mom and Dad asked me to let you know.”
Adrien came all of a sudden?
Didn’t they agree that Lizbeth would discuss their marriage plans with her family? Wasn’t Adrien supposed to stay out of this?
He was busy preparing for the wedding in Struyria.
Why did he rush over like this?
It seemed there was indeed something important..
“I understand,” Edmond said, “Let me change and then I’ll come down.”
“Adrien’s here?” Erin was surprised, “Why is he coming over so late?”
“Looks like something’s up,” Edmond said, “Don’t worry about it. You go ahead and sleep, I’ll just greet him and come back up.”
Erin stretched her arm to hug Edmond’s neck, tiptoed, and gave him a kiss, her eyes full of allure. “I’ll be waiting for you.”
“Good girl,” Edmond kissed her back and changed his bathrobe into casual clothing before heading downstairs.
Not long after, Adrien did indeed arrive.
He wore a gray-blue suit and a white shirt, exuding an air of nobility.
After greeting Paul and Mrs. Murphy, Adrien offered an apologetic smile. I’m sorry for disturbing you at this late hour.”
“Take a seat and tell us, Paul beckoned Adrien with a hand gesture, “There must be something urgent for you to rush here like this.”
Adrien held Lizbeth’s hand and awkwardly smiled. “I just wanted to see Liz.”
Upon hearing this, Paul and his wife’s expressions turned cold, and even Edmond’s face fell.
They say Adrien of the Ryker family is a playboy, doing things according to his whims. This is indeed something!

Coming over at such an ungodly hour, isn’t this a bit too much trouble?
Can they rest assured with their daughter marrying into such a family?
