490 Delarosa Marquisate (3)

Originally, Adeline wasn't after the Delarosa's territory and authority; she desired Chalmers' affection.

Unfortunately, she couldn't obtain it. Thus, her mentality became increasingly twisted with jealousy and envy as she watched Chalmers and Belline together.

Chalmers and Belline being able to have two daughters spanning a few years apart also made Chalmers all the more desirable in Adeline's eyes. After all, it proved Chalmers had great seeds.

Arabelle was shocked when she found out Adeline had been trying to seduce her son for years, even after his marriage.

And when Adeline couldn't get what she wanted, she secretly captured Chalmers and locked him in her hidden chamber, where she forcefully tortured and made love to him day after day, year after year. This did not stop even after Chalmers turned into a corpse.

Arabelle became livid with rage as she listened to Adeline's mind-controlled confession.
