Chapter 2243 Preparations
- Francesca suddenly remembered something. “If you put it that way, does that mean Hazel was only a pawn of theirs?”
- William nodded solemnly. “She must have been innocent. If it was only for love, she didn't need to sacrifice her father's life. If I'm not mistaken, she had always been a pawn, and the previous scandals might not have been her intention at all. The first lady instigated Gerard to help further her cause. Her purpose was to use Hazel as a diversion and have everybody think that Hazel created all the chaos just to marry into the Lindberg family, to mask the fact that the actual mastermind had been the first lady. In any case, judging by how things turned out, it's obvious that the one who was behind all this benefited the most.”
- So that's what happened.
