The Villainess is Tired of Everything

Chapter 49

The Letty standing before me was a completely different person from the one I remembered.

Gone was the sweet, naive smile I once thought was genuine. Her appearance now, in a knee-length dress and boots, placed her somewhere between a noble and a commoner.

Her hair was tied back, and she wore glasses—she looked nothing like the maid she used to be.

No one would suspect her of being the head of a trading company. It seemed this was her true identity.

…Or perhaps not. Maybe Ryan had her infiltrate the back alleys to monitor me. He was petty enough for that.

I narrowed my eyes.

"Did Ryan order you to do this too?"

I deliberately omitted the title of "prince." If she objected, I was ready to confront her.

"No, he did not."

Letty didn’t react to my provocation.

"I won’t deny that this place operates with the help of Prince Ryan. However, our dealings with you began long before his involvement."

‘She doesn’t seem to be lying,’ I thought as I scrutinized her expression. But then again, Letty herself had been a lie, so why was I even considering this?@@novelbin@@

Even if she hadn’t been my maid for long, she would have known plenty about me.

"I suppose I fired you well, then. Must’ve been tough for the head of a trading company to work as a maid."

I didn’t see the point in being polite. I decided to say everything I’d been holding back.

"Is your name even Letty?"

"The name is real. It’s short for Leticia."
