Captive Hearts: The Tycoon's Ugly Bride

Chapter 57 Pretending to be Ugly

Chapter 57 Pretending to be Ugly

The next morning, the Kent family.

Nicole looked at the newspaper and suddenly screamed.

"Ah, why is it like this? Blanche didn't actually disfigure herself. The scar on her face was fake. She deceived us."

Dany, who was drinking tea next to Nicole, almost spilled the tea on the floor.

Setting down her cup, Dany snatched the newspaper from Nicole's hand and started reading it. After that, Dany was so mad that her fingertips trembled.

"This despicable b*tch has been pretending to be ugly all along."

At last night's banquet hosted by Doris, all the major media was invited, and Blanche's true appearance was revealed in the newspaper, along with a detailed account of what happened. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Every word on this newspaper was unpleasant to Dany's eye, and she forcefully tore the newspaper into pieces.

"So this b*tch has been deceiving us. It seems she has been guarding against us since she was young, I really underestimated her."

"I'm so unlucky. Louis is not disabled, and Blanche is not disfigured. I've become a laughingstock." Nicole grabbed her hair and mocked herself.

After a moment, Nicole's expression changed again.

"No, we can't let Uncle perform surgery on Blanche's grandmother. Blanche is really lucky. Why did I believe the rumors that Louis is disabled? Clearly, I should have become his wife. I'm so mad."

After finding out that Louis wasn't disabled, Nicole regretted it so much for days.

Now she found out that the ugly woman she had always looked down upon hadn't gotten disfigured and had even become more beautiful over time.

She hated this feeling intensely.

"Don't worry about that. Of course, I won't let your Uncle perform surgery on that old woman. The despicable b*tch and the old hag should die, yet they still want to live. What a wishful thinking." Dany clenched her fist and said fiercely.

......

Blanche arrived at the hospital early.

In the ward, Angela closed her eyes with an agonized face. Clearly, she felt uncomfortable as she slept.

"Who are you?" Gloria was having breakfast when she saw Blanche come in and was momentarily stunned. She put down her lunchbox and stood up.

Blanche raised her hand, gesturing for Gloria to sit back down.

"Gloria, I am Blanche, Angela's granddaughter."

Gloria couldn't believe it and asked for confirmation.

"You really are Miss Kent. My goodness, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful. I heard that..." Gloria hesitated to continue, but Blanche already guessed and smiled.

"The scar on my face has healed, so I don't need to wear a mask anymore. You can continue eating. I'll go see Grandma."

"So you really are Miss Kent. I was confused. This voice is Miss Kent's. I should have recognized it."

Blanche walked to the bed and tucked Angela in.

"Angela was in pain all night and couldn't sleep. The doctor prescribed new medicine this morning, and she fell asleep after taking it." Gloria brought a chair for Blanche and said.

"Miss Kent, please sit."

Hearing that, Blanche felt a pang in her heart, knowing that Grandma must have been in great pain during the long night.

"Thank you. Finish your meal and get some rest. I'll stay here with Grandma." Blanche sat down and noticed that Gloria also had dark circles under her eyes.

Seeing Blanche place her hands on her knees and quietly gaze at Angela's face, Gloria reminded her in a low voice before leaving.

"You should hurry with the surgery. The sooner Angela has it, the less suffering she will endure."

Blanche nodded. "I will make arrangements for the surgery as soon as possible."

After sitting for a while, Blanche took out her phone and made an appointment to meet Dany in the afternoon.

In the cafe, Blanche waited for an hour before Dany finally arrived.

Looking at Blanche's fair face, Dany became furious.

Even when Blanche was young, she knew that Blanche would become more eye-catching than Nicole. So she had planned to destroy Blanche's face and actually went through with it.

However, now it seemed that something went wrong in the process and Blanche's face was not scarred at all.

"Blanche, all these years, you had been pretending to be ugly to deceive me." Dany sat down and her anger was visible.

Blanche tilted her head slightly. "Dany, that's a strange statement. I pretended to be ugly, but why would it be to deceive you? Could it be that you were the one who sent people to scar my face?"

Dany was caught off guard, but she couldn't admit it and looked wary.

"Of course not. Don't try to frame me."

Blanche smiled. "That's good. You should be happy for me now that you know I haven't been disfigured. After all, in name, I am your daughter too."

"I can't accept that. I could never have such an ungrateful daughter like you. You wouldn't even send a couple of wedding invitations to the Kent family. Who would want such a daughter like you?"

Blanche wasn't angry. "That's great then. With a mother like you who has so many issues, I wouldn't dare to be your daughter."

"Do I have issues? Blanche, are you criticizing me?"

Blanche chuckled.

"Are you saying you don't have any issues? We made an appointment for one o'clock, but you were an hour late. Is there something wrong with your hearing or vision? Procrastination is also an issue

that needs to be treated."

"You brat, are you mocking me with your words? Don't think I don't know why you invited me. You want to save that wretched old woman. No way! I wish she would die immediately."

Blanche spoke in a deep voice.

"Having the surgery for my Grandma was the condition I agreed to marry Louis. Are you going back on your word?"

"Blanche, how dare you bring that up to me! You've gained a huge advantage and now you're acting innocent. You've profited greatly from this marriage, while Nicole has suffered. I won't manage to swallow my anger until your Grandma dies."

Dany gritted her teeth and picked up the cup on the table, slamming it onto the ground.

Coldly looking at the shattered pieces on the floor, Blanche spoke calmly.

"If I remember correctly, one month after I married into the Herbart family, they will send a generous gift to the Kent family. It seems that you don't need that gift anymore."

"What do you mean?"
