Chapter 96 Am I supposed to push him from behind?
"What? You're not convinced? You want to tell Rhodes that I bullied you?" Felicity's eyes were slightly closed as she suppressed her emotions. "Don't forget, Rhodes always understands that I'm doing this for his sake, so no matter what, he'll only like me more because of what you said."
"Wasn't it the same last time? With your help, he allowed me to have the gift I wanted."
"—You." Lilith bit her thin lips, her small chest rising and falling with her rapid breathing.
Lilith's defeated attitude was undeniable, but Felicity's blatant humiliation of her was something that Lilith, as a goddess, could not tolerate.
She was willing to share Rhodes equally with Felicity, which was one thing, but Felicity wanted to ride on her head? What a joke!
If she doesn't resist at all now, she'll only be able to become a loser and help push Rhodes from behind later on—ugh, what a damn way of thinking!
Lilith snapped out of her reverie: "Wait until you really have the courage to entrust everything to him before you talk about it. Otherwise, you might not even qualify to be his lover. What's the point of talking to me about whether he's the rightful wife or not?"
"I don't need to rely on that kind of thing to get close to Luo."
"But at least, when the emotions are just right, I will definitely make that choice."
"I will do it, at least before we return to the capital, before Natalie shows up," Felicity replied firmly. "And I've learned a lot recently."
"That's enough. I've already been patient and restrained enough. Stop talking." Lilith dug her fingers into the flesh of her palm.
"I want to see how long you can endure, because only when you can't hold back will you truly drop the pretense."
Tensions were high—
Felicity showed no intention of backing down, as the hatred in her mind could never be easily let go.
The threat Lilith posed to Rhodes was infinite in her eyes.
Although Rhode was willing to forgive Lilith for the time being, so she couldn't really continue to tear Lilith apart and fight her, she could at least verbally harass her.
Suddenly, Rhodes' voice came from between them, interrupting their increasingly intense emotions. At that moment, Rhodes, holding Ivina's hand, stood in front of the table between them and softly called out, "Feed."
"Hmm." Felicity snapped out of her reverie and looked at the muscular figure in front of her, blinking her amber eyes. "What's wrong, Luo?"
"No, it's just to give Ivina some time to rest, so I came over to hear what you guys are talking about." Rhodes shook his head.
"Ah—" Felicity touched her lips with her finger and said as if pondering, "It's just catching up. After all, we've replayed everything in the past, so of course we need to have a good chat."
That's what she said, but her eyes were fixed intently on Rhodes, making it difficult for him to speak—
There was no way around it; once that resentful aura rose, even if Rhodes got close to Felicity, he would feel immense pressure, as if she were deliberately avoiding him and walking away to ignore him.
But how could Rod really not care at all?
Rhodes sniffed slightly and reached out to pinch Felicity's cheek: "Don't make yourself unhappy."
Upon hearing this, Felicity, who had been in a flustered and irritated state, softened her expression and, after a moment of silence, uttered a sweet voice: "Yes, I know."
Rhodes nodded and said to Lilith, "You too."

He then led Ivina to sit on two other chairs and poured her a glass of water.
"I'm tired, let's drink."
"Hmph." Ivina turned her head away, but still quickly snatched the glass of water and gulped it down.
"Bad Rod, he only knows how to seduce girls with such meticulous methods," she thought to herself, her mind in turmoil.
"How's your dance training with Miss Ivina going, Luo?" Felicity asked with a smile, her elbows propped on the table and her palms supporting her head.
"After all, we're all ascendants, so the dancing went relatively smoothly." With that, Rhodes turned his gaze to Ivina. "Ivina, we'll dance for another hour or two until the afternoon, then the dance training will be over."
"Oh." Ivina nodded, but when she heard the word "end," she seemed slightly dazed.
Even though I don't like dancing, and I don't like constantly stepping on Rod's feet, the word "end" still feels empty to me.
At 3:40 PM, there were only 27 hours left until the coming-of-age ceremony the following day.
Twenty-seven hours—it may be the last time, or it may not be.
It all depends on how Cecilia ignites her truth.
tired.
The cup in his hand felt increasingly heavy, so he placed it on the table.
"Rhode, if you had the chance to kill that Cecilia, would you kill her?"
"How did you know—did you hear it before?"
"Yes, I already asked Felicity."
Rhodes remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.
But their gazes only briefly left Ivina before returning to her—
"Speaking of which, did you know? Your red eyes are almost exactly the same as those of that so-called Cecilia."
Ivina's heart pounded as if it were being bound by threads, and she forced a stiff smile: "Is...is that so?"
"Yes, when I first saw you, I actually had a very strong sense of déjà vu. Scarlet eyes, almost the same outline—so I even asked the Duchess if you had an older sister, or rather—you were an alter ego of her."
"After all, Cecilia's demonic skill is [Truthlessness]. She can continuously create clones at various points to make herself immortal, so it's quite common for her to have a strange clone."
"However, this speculation was ultimately dismissed, because after getting to know you, I realized that your personalities are very different from hers, so you are definitely not the same person."
"But all in all, it's quite a coincidence, isn't it?" Rhodes said calmly with a smile. "If Cecilia causes trouble tomorrow, then you can also see what she looks like, and you'll definitely be surprised."
"————" Ivina lowered her head and stroked the water glass.
Of course I know what she looks like; in fact, I practically sculpted her like a figment of my imagination!
"But if you ask me whether I would kill Cecilia—" Rhodes paused only briefly before speaking without hesitation, "that's obviously not the case."
"----ha?"
Ivina raised her eyes.
