A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 5] Chapter 40

[Vol. 5] Chapter 40: Wanting to Explode!

“You still dare to show your face!!!”

Jessica was fierce like an enraged mother tiger, gritting her teeth and swinging her handbag mercilessly to strike.

Austin, who hurriedly arrived, bore a few blows forcefully.

Then, seizing the opportunity, she quickly reached out and snatched the handbag, tightly gripping Jessica’s arm.

Austin’s face showed a sense of urgency, with a hint of panic in his eyes as she hastily spoke, “Jessica, I can explain. Just calm down for a moment.”

“Calm down!!!”

However, Austin’s words were like adding fuel to the fire, making Jessica even angrier. It was the kind of anger that felt like flames could burst from her mouth.

Although she still wanted to continue beating Austin, Jessica’s rationality quickly returned under the circumstances of her hands being restrained, calming down as Austin had hoped. Yet, in her state of calmness, Jessica let out a cold laugh.

She no longer struggled but instead looked up at Austin, her former lover, with indifference, and spoke coldly, “Austin, I am calm now, and we’re done!”

“Jess…”

Before Austin could utter a word to plead with her, Jessica struggled again, this time breaking free effortlessly. Stepping back a few paces, she distanced herself from Austin.

Her expression was no longer sweet as before, but rather as ruthless as icy coldness, as she continued, “You must know by now, we just met with Lady Merlin, and everything you didn’t want to say, she said it all.”

The moment Lady Merlin, that detestable woman, crossed Jessica’s mind, she felt the flames that had just been extinguished suddenly reigniting, ready to blaze once more.

She was so enraged that she felt like exploding!!!

So, growing angrier the more she thought about it, Jessica began to speak harshly!

“Miss Barlen cannot be possessed by a demon. Whatever you want to do, I won’t stop you. There’s no longer any relationship between you and me from now on…”

“Jessica, I never said that Amelia Barlen was possessed by a demon!”

Seeing Jessica speak recklessly, Austin’s subordinate instinctively clenched her fists, then spoke up to interrupt, anxiously trying to defend herself, not wanting to hear heartbreaking words from Jessica’s mouth.

Her love for Jessica was not just perfunctory. She wanted a lifelong intimate partner!

So, she couldn’t let Jessica misunderstand. She needed to explain everything clearly.

Initially, Austin didn’t want to involve Jessica… After all, if they failed, the worst-case scenario was their deaths, and Jessica, being friends with Ifia, would surely survive. But…

Austin felt she had overestimated herself. She couldn’t bear the pain of her beloved hating her!

Therefore, now regretful, she decided to be selfish.

Moreover, if her speculation was correct, even if Jessica wasn’t implicated, she would eventually die with the fall of the Sith Empire…

Thinking of this, Austin immediately looked towards Ifia not far away. Seeing her expression cold and indifferent, she hesitated for a moment, but still decided to involve Ifia as well.

Besides wanting Ifia’s support, Ifia herself had the right to know the truth!

So, Austin grabbed Jessica’s wrist again and quickly walked towards where Ifia was.

Jessica, being forcibly dragged along, felt extremely annoyed, continuously saying, “Austin, you’re crazy. Let go of me and go away. I don’t want to see you again! Is it even useful to regret now? Clearly, you and Lady Merlin are in cahoots…”

Ignoring Jessica’s accusations, Austin, upon reaching Ifia, didn’t keep her lips tightly sealed anymore. Instead, she spoke out at this moment, “She isn’t possessed by a demon, but a demon disguised as a human! The real Amelia Barlen should already have died in her childhood!”

“……”

As soon as Austin’s words came out, Jessica, who had been struggling and cursing, froze for a moment, then widened her eyes in disbelief.

Ifia also furrowed her brows, her black eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

Austin’s words were different from Lady Merlin’s!

In that case, what was Austin’s reason for wanting to confront Amelia?

“Austin, stop spouting nonsense here. Beware of imprisonment. As the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, you dare to spread false rumors! Why did you create such a baseless foolish conspiracy like this?”

Before Ifia could speak, Jessica reacted and immediately exploded in anger!

Austin just sighed, a hint of helplessness appearing on her delicate face. Then she shook her head and said, “I am ready to bear the risk. If it’s false, even if I’m thrown into prison, I would be very happy… But, Jessica, I am not lying.”

“The real Duke’s daughter died long ago, and everything can be traced back. Before Amelia Barlen became famous, she was unknown and even stayed in her room for rest due to her young age and frailty.”

“It was only when Amelia Barlen emerged from her room that her father swiftly rose to become the Duke of Barlen. Since then, the Barlen family quickly solidified its position and became one of the top families.”

Austin slowly recounted some of the recent information she had investigated.

As for why Austin was able to keenly perceive that Amelia Barlen was a demon…

It was because several years ago, she was forced into a contract with a demon, compelled to provide humans as offerings for the demon to extract their souls and consume their bodies.

Only when she finally completed the contract and freed herself did she return to a normal life.

Therefore, Austin had encountered demons quite a lot and naturally knew some of their peculiarities… At first, she thought she might be mistaken, but after multiple observations, she discovered that maybe Amelia Barlen was indeed a demon!

It wasn’t until she had frequent contact with her recently that she began to suspect. Actually, none of that proved her speculation that Amelia Barlen was a demon. But she took a risk by asking Saint Tiffany directly. As a result, Saint Tiffany confirmed it. She immediately determined the truth of the matter!

Still, she could have been wrong, but Amelia Barlen’s intention to destroy the Sith Empire wasn’t wrong.

She had gathered evidence that Amelia Barlen did intend to destroy the Sith Empire.

While speaking these words, Austin deliberately observed Ifia’s expression.

She noticed that even after saying that Amelia Barlen was a demon, Ifia remained calm.

After a moment of thought, Austin immediately guessed that Ifia knew the truth about the other being a demon and her speculation was indeed correct!

Ifia hadn’t been deceived.

But even so, she should definitely be unaware of that matter!

“Even if what you’re saying is true, so what? She hasn’t harmed any humans.”

Facing Austin’s scrutiny, Ifia steadied her own anxious heart, then calmly spoke up.

This statement caused Jessica, who was still recovering from the shock of realizing that her admired Miss Barlen was a demon, to be stunned again.

Meanwhile, Austin’s expression turned serious as she said, “Hasn’t harmed any humans? Her goal is to destroy the Sith Empire, even to destroy the entire world!”

“To make all humans perish.”
