Chapter 1 Family? Personal Enemy

"Miss Anna is finally coming to our house. Soon we won't have to face that ugly monsters anymore."

Burritt's maids whispered under the wall, with excitement in their eyes.

"Miss Anna was supposed to be Lady Burritt. That ugly monster doesn't even deserve to carry shoes for the Duke of Burritt", a maid said resentfully. Everyone agreed with her and glanced at the window on the third floor in the upper left corner with hostile eyes. In their hearts, this ugly lady was the source of the Burritt family's disgrace.

At this time, the protagonist of the discussion, ugly lady Haley, was sitting in her wheelchair, facing the window and listening indifferently.

Three months ago, after Haley had a high fever, her eyes became blind and her muscles began to shrink.

Harry's blind life was very inconvenient, but she was used to not bothering others and tried her best to do everything by herself. Therefore, after refusing the faked flattery of many maids, the maids who could not get the reward from the hostess immediately changed their faces.

Emile walked from behind, closed the window, and pushed Haley into the room.

"Madam, it's cold near the window."

Emile put on the coat for Haley. Haley raised her head and showed her eyes, which were deathly white. The bulging scars crawled on her face like centipedes, and her hands and feet bent like chicken claws because of the muscle atrophy. Although having seen it many times, Emile was still shocked.

However, Emile was not afraid of Haley. Instead, she felt sorry for her. The lady was a good person. When she first entered the house, Haley had not been ill. She always remembered the hand that the lady stretched out when she was bullied by other maids.

"I want to go out for a walk."

"Do you want me to go for a walk with you?" Emile was willing to help Haley.

"No, I want to be alone." Haley refused. Emile knew Haley well, so she had no objection. After she took downstairs with the butler, she stood in the doorway and looked at Haley's back worriedly.

The maid's voice was like a knife, deeply stabbing into her heart. Even though she had long known that her husband, Burritt, loved Anna and that her marriage was just a deal to protect the Potter family, Haley couldn't help but feel sad when she heard that Anna was more suitable to be his wife than her.

In the eyes of outsiders, Haley's eyes were blind, her muscles were shrunk, and her whole body was covered with terrible scars. Such a woman could shamelessly marry the well-known, noble and elegant Duke Burritt, just because she was the sister of general Harry.

This sense of disparity has made many women jealous. They didn't know that she was not a waste lying in bed. She was the real general Harry.

Ten years ago, the Potter family, as the first security echelon to protect the Kingdom of Heatley, was betrayed by traitors. Overnight, the huge Potter family was massacred, and as a general, the Duke and Lady Potter died. The only legitimate children of the Potter family were Haley and her twin brother, Chris.

Every year, as the guard of the royal family, Potter's family needed a direct heir to the military camp. As the first heir in order, Chris should go to the military camp.

But Chris was in poor health and it was difficult for him to accept the training at the military camp.

But if he gave up on joining the army, he would be expelled from Potter's family by convention. Haley was Chris's twin sister, and the two were alike. In the end, Haley went to the military camp on behalf of Chris.

In the second year after she joined the military camp, there was a border conflict, and the short-term military service had become a long-term marching.

In this process, she had experienced a lot of life and death moments before she finally became general Harry who was praised by others.

But she joined the army on behalf of Chris. The war stopped. If she continued to receive the honor in the name of Chris, Chris would no longer be able to appear in front of everyone.

At the same time, Potter's family was not strong enough to make a deal with her marriage.

"My lady, you are in a good mood. You still have time to listen to the maids' gossip." Wearing a red one-piece dress, Anna was lying in a flower pavilion not far away. Seeing Haley coming, she talked with great interest.

Anna stroked her delicate face. It was as small as a goose egg, with long fluttering eyelashes and red lips that opened and closed. Looking at her thin waist and plump chest, she was indeed beautiful.

It was also because of this that she was particularly angry when she saw the ugly Haley.

Why did the ugly monster become Waverley's wife? Not the beautiful her.

Seeing that Haley ignored her words, Anna was not in a hurry. She shook the glass in her hand and looked at Haley's receding figure, with a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.

When she returned to her room, Emile carefully took off Haley's clothes. Haley's body was full of wounds, some of them even blood under the friction of her clothes.

"Madam, Young Master Chris has sent new medicine here." Emile cleaned the wounds and pointed at the well-packed box on the table.

"..." Haley touched the medicine on the table, but there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.

"Colonel Lucas also wrote you a letter," Emile said hesitantly.

"What did he say?" Haley asked. Unexpectedly, Lucas, who had always been against her in the army, also wrote to her.

"He... He said you deserved it." Emile thought for a long time before she spoke euphemistically.

"I see." Haley smiled with herself mockery. Lucas was the only one who knew her true identity and always thought she was hopeless.

The moon rose and the stars embellished the night sky.

Haley sat by the window, her face tilted to the side of the royal palace. A gust of cold wind blew in. Today was a big day. As long as her brother Chris accepted the honor of the emperor, the Potter family could regain its footing.

"You can leave now." The familiar voice of her husband came from behind. Hearing this, the servant Emile went out and closed the door considerately.

"Waverley?"

"It's me." the voice behind her was getting closer and closer, but he didn't immediately hold her in his arms as usual. Instead, it sounded a little different.

"How's the honor ceremony for Chris today?" Haley turned her head and asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, my dear wife." Waverley closed the window, pushed the wheelchair from the window to the table, took the medicine bowl from the other side, and stirred it. He skillfully put the spoon beside her mouth and said, "Take the medicine first."

"This medicine..." Haley sniffed and frowned slightly. Before Waverley could finish her words, she held Haley's chin and put the medicine into her mouth.

"What's wrong with the medicine?" Waverley's voice was gentle, but she didn't stop feeding.

Haley couldn't move, so she had to take the medicine passively until the medicine was finished.

"The medicine doesn't taste right." Haley coughed and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Of course, it's different from before." Waverley picked her up from the wheelchair and gently put her on the bed, stroking her hair. "This medicine can set you free."

"Did you poison me?" Haley asked Waverley in disbelief, her voice trembling.

"It's just that General Chris cares about his sister and brings some medicine." Waverley's sharp tone was not as gentle as usual, but his words were freezing to the bone. "After all, only the dead can keep the secret better. After all... No one wants to see the real General Chris."

Haley felt like her internal organs were burning like a fire. What made her desperate was what Waverley said. The person who wanted to take her life was her family that she wanted to protect most?

"Bastard! If there is a chance, I will kill you." Haley said through gritted teeth.

After thinking for a while, Waverley bent over again and whispered in her ear, "It's not my fault. How could a person change from a normal person to you in a few days?"

Before Waverley could finish his words, there was a sudden noise from the bookshelf.

Haley heard Anna's voice, which sounded lazy and teasing. "Waverley, have you finished her work?" with a series of light steps, Haley heard an unpleasant voice.

"Anna baby." Waverley hugged Anna and began to kiss her. As the two of them gradually took off their clothes, the room was filled with hot gasps of men and women.

Haley endured the tearing pain in her body, listening to the sound of her husband making love with other women, and thinking of what the Potter family had done to her, the hatred overwhelmed the pain. If there was another chance, she must let them pay with their blood!

When she returned to her room, Emile carefully took off Haley's clothes. Haley's body was full of wounds, some of them even blood under the friction of her clothes.

"Madam, Young Master Chris has sent new medicine here." Emile cleaned the wounds and pointed at the well-packed box on the table.

"..." Haley touched the medicine on the table, but there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
