章節 68: Why?

[Trinity's POV]

"The real reason why you wanted Nadia out of your life is because of her inheritance," I said. "Her mother is filthy rich, but you couldn't touch her money because all of it was given to Nadia as her dowry once she's married off.

"You couldn't kill her either. The blame will automatically fall onto you because of the money you will get from her death. Then the only way is to keep her alive until she's married off.

"But there's one problem. You still can't have her money because it would go to Earl Perlington's estate. So here comes a devious idea. What if you cursed your own daughter and have her die in the Perlington's manor? Not only will you get her dowry's money, but you'll also receive compensation for your loss.

"Since there is that law that if your daughter is mistreated or abused and died in the hands of her husband's family, the family of the bride had the right to ask for compensation and retrieved the full dowry in return."
