## Chapter

- release_date: 2025-03-09

### Summary
The narrative has reached the long-awaited confrontation between Verta and Marquess Carter, with the villain finally set to reveal his motives for destroying her family. Reader anticipation is high, though many expect a "sorry excuse" from a character they find both "disgusting" and frustratingly handsome. This pivotal moment is undercut by a persistent sentiment that the plot is being rushed to its conclusion, leaving fans of Verta's intricate schemes feeling unsatisfied. The accelerated pacing has also created confusion around a key subplot involving Princess Helena; the royal family's cover story—claiming she was murdered and that they have adopted a look-alike—has left readers questioning its purpose and feeling unsettled. The chapter ends on a significant cliffhanger just as Carter begins to speak, amplifying audience frustration and leaving them in suspense for his justification.
