Chapter 233 Claire, I wish you happiness
Thinking about that huge amount of gold coins and elemental stones, he felt that his future was starting to become brighter.
Now, as long as Malina's fear of men disappears... she will also become his woman.
Thus, everything about her, from her title and property to her body, will become his.
"Master…" Suddenly, Claire spoke, interrupting Alec's thoughts.
He looked at Claire and smiled friendly: "Claire, from now on we will have a very comfortable life; there is no need to live in worry like when you were in that damn family."
Hearing that, Claire looked at Alec with a bit of worry on her face, then she looked back at Malina.
"Claire, it's thanks to you that I have these things; you have made me very satisfied." Malina laughed as she spoke, her voice carrying a hint of mockery.
"But…" Claire wanted to say something, but Malina frowned at her.
"What's wrong? Do you want to continue following me? That's fine." Malina smiled and said: "But… I can't let you continue to be my servant."
"Anyway, Captain Sivir and the Queen asked me to release you."
"I feel that the decision to save you that day was right, so that now I can enjoy the life I have always dreamed of."
"Awww!! It's great, I don't have to stay in that damn family while enduring torture and humiliation."
"I don't need to envy other people's feelings, I don't need to bow my head; best of all, I have truly become a noble."
"But… it's not enough…"
"That's right." Alec spoke up: "We must take revenge, destroy the Montague and Andamio families, and convert their assets into nutrients for us."
"By then, Malina, you will be a Marquis. Even if you don't get that title, the assets you will have will be equal to those of a Marquis."
Malina smiled when she heard that and said: "Alec, will you help me?"
"Of course, I am your knight; I will always be by your side." Alec smiled as he spoke, of course, he also had his own thoughts.
If Malina becomes his woman, her property will also be his property.
Besides, Alec also knows that Malina is a smart girl and that she is capable of helping him manage and develop his assets.
Therefore, at that time, he would not need to do anything but focus on cultivating, and the resources would be provided to him by Malina.
"Besides…" Alec glanced at Claire and said: "Claire, you will follow us and join us in taking revenge on them, right?"
"I know you have suffered a lot and endured humiliation from those bastards for many years."
"But now we are in a different position. In just one year, with the wealth that Captain Sivir and the Queen have rewarded Malina with, I will definitely become strong enough to protect Malina and you."
Hearing that, Malina frowned, glanced at Alec, and silently cursed him in her heart.
She hadn't even mentioned liking him or wanting to share the reward with him, but he had completely thought that he would definitely get his hands on the reward the Queen gave her.
However, Malina could only clench her fists to restrain herself, as she really needed Alec's help. Otherwise, no matter how much wealth she has, she will not be able to resist the power of Mardian and those two giant families.
Besides, Malina also knows that her talent is not good, and she may not be able to advance a level within a year.
That's why, even though Malina was angry and upset, she still had to offer all her assets for Alec to use.
Claire looked at Alec, then looked back at Malina, her eyes carrying a bit of gloom and sadness.
"Master… Perhaps this is the last time I will call you master."
"Hmm?!" Malina was startled.
Alec shouted: "Claire, what the hell are you talking about? Ah! I see, you are a free person now, so you really don't need to call Malina master anymore."
"Now we are all equal, no one is the master of anyone else. Claire, thanks to your talent, we will definitely be a perfect team."
Hearing that, Claire shook her head and said: "Sorry, I... I have my own plans."
"Sorry… Malina." She looked at Malina, her face filled with guilt.
After all, Malina was the one who saved her when she was at her lowest. At first, Claire really didn't want to say this, but when she saw Malina without hesitation bringing her up to exchange more benefits, it hurt her.
Even just now, listening to Malina's words, Claire knew that she only had interests in her eyes and basically had no feelings for Claire.
Besides, Claire also doesn't want to be with Alec, as he makes her uncomfortable.
Now, her mind is always on Lathel, so being around someone who always causes trouble for Lathel makes her uncomfortable.
Not only was she upset, Claire also felt nauseous when she heard Alec's lies.
"You…" Alec was about to say something when Malina spoke up.
"Alec, can you let me talk to her privately for a moment?" Malina said.
Hearing that, Alec frowned. He looked at Malina, then at Claire, and finally left, giving them a private space.
"It seems… you're starting to get arrogant, Claire." Malina said as she looked at Claire with contempt: "You make me extremely uncomfortable."
"Sorry, Malina."
"Oh! You really won't call me master anymore." Malina said contemptuously: "However… After all, the Queen has purchased your freedom, so you are no longer my servant."
"At least… hahahaha… hahahaha… At least, the wealth the Queen gave me is enough to make up for the past 15 years you've been by my side, hahahaha…"
Looking at Malina laughing crazily, Claire bit her lip until it bled, feeling extremely confused.
The Malina she knew seems to have disappeared, replaced by a completely different Malina. She was crazy, full of hatred, and she put profit above everything.
"Malina, you have really changed. I… I don't understand why you've changed to this extent."
Hearing Claire talk, Malina frowned: "So how do you want me to live?" Do you want me to become a poor girl who is humiliated by others?"
"Huh! Claire, from now on, if you don't continue to accompany me, in the future, even if you want to return, it will be impossible."
Claire raised her head to look at Malina with tears in her eyes. Then, she bowed her head 90 degrees and clasped her hands in front of her stomach.
"Thank you for saving me that day."
"No need to thank me, after all… Thanks to that, I have a huge fortune, and I was even able to escape that family and become a true noble." Malina said mockingly.
"Okay, if you've made up your mind, then go, I won't cause you any more trouble."
"You should remember, in the future... even if you beg me to accept you, I won't accept it, do you understand?"
"I… I know." Claire raised her head and said.
SLAP!
Malina walked in front of Claire, waved her hand, and slapped her in the face: "Tch! Damn it, you really make me uncomfortable, don't be arrogant with me!"
"You are just an ordinary maid, why… Why do you have such good talent?"
Malina grabbed Claire's collar and scolded her frantically.
"Why don't I have a good talent like you? Why don't I have a good future like you?"
"Why?! What you have should have been mine!"
"AAA!!!"
SLAP!
Malina angrily slapped Claire's face again. However, Claire did not resist.
SLAP!
SLAP!
SLAP!
The continuous slaps on Claire's cheeks made her face turn red and her nose bleed, but she still did not resist.
Malina stopped, as her hands hurt from slapping Claire's face.
Claire pursed her lips, her voice suddenly became cold and emotionless: "Are you comfortable?"
"You…" Malina gritted her teeth and raised her hand. But when she saw Claire's eyes that no longer had any emotions, she was startled.
"If you feel comfortable, then… I will go first."
Claire bowed her head again, her expression still extremely respectful. Malina suddenly recalled the little girl on a snowy day 15 years ago.
The girl was clothed in a torn piece of cloth, and her body was dirty and smelly. The girl stood straight, bowed her head and said to Malina: "Thank you for saving me."
Claire turned to leave, Malina angrily shouted: "Stop!"
However, Claire didn't seem to hear what Malina said, as she continued walking without turning back.
"Stop! Are you deaf?!" Malina screamed: "If you continue to go, from now on, we will be enemies, I will definitely not leave you in peace..."
Claire suddenly stopped walking, her cold voice, without any emotion, rang out: "Sorry, Malina. The Queen has given me freedom, I... have the right to do whatever I want. You cannot continue to hold me back."
"You… but before, you clearly said that you would forever be loyal to me." Malina gritted her teeth and said: "Are you going to leave me now that you've achieved a little?"
"Claire, I hope you won't regret it. If you come back and apologise to me, I will pretend that nothing happened. We can also continue to be together; you don't have to be my servant."
Hearing that, Claire's body trembled a bit, but then she continued walking.
Malina was startled as she watched Claire's back slowly disappear in the distance, unable to control herself anymore. Tears flowed out like two streams.
She clenched her hands so tightly that her nails dug into her palms; the red colour of blood flowing out was extremely dazzling on her white skin.
Malina gritted her teeth and mumbled chokingly: "Claire, I wish you happiness. The path we take… will definitely not have good results."
