Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 911: Duke Moville

All of the guests in the banquet hall were waiting to see a good show.

Avrora was considered to be the most beautiful woman in Russia where lust and lechers were rampant. She had a ton of suitors and the reason why the Moville Duke’s Residence could still enjoy immense glory in the upper-class society. In Russia, it was common for families to arrange marriages for their children in order to reap greater benefits.

Everyone in the circle was well aware that Avrora had a crush on Rex and, in fact, she was not alone. All the bachelorettes of the upper-class society harbored designs on Rex and were bent on getting intimate with him.

However, to their disappointment, Rex had never been lustful.

Gradually, rumors of Rex being a homosexual began to spread in Russia, and everyone started believing the rumors. After all, Russia was heaven for men, and no man could resist the temptation of a Russian woman.

They did not expect that Rex would openly bring a woman donning the representative token belonging to the matriarch of Lucifer along to the duke’s banquet.

Everyone managed to find out how Rex would handle the matter after seeing how he reacted when Avrora got jealous.

“Avrora! Watch your manners! You’re not allowed to be disrespectful towards our guests,” a voice exclaimed sternly as the sounds of heavy footsteps filled the air.

Wen Xinya looked in the direction of the sound to see an old Russian man walking towards them with a stern expression on his face. He was dressed in a classic Russian costume and appeared to be in his sixties. However, there was not a single trace of old age on his face at all. Instead, he looked energetic with a commanding aura.

There was another man who appeared to be in his forties walking beside him, clad in an impeccable military uniform which made him look domineering. He resembled Duke Moville greatly, though he was much taller and buffer. Wen Xinya reckoned that he was the duke’s successor and Avrora’s father, Boris.

Duke Moville walked towards Si Yiyan and shot Avrora a glance of warning, after which Avrora had no choice but to bow to Si Yiyan and perform an aristocratic formality. She then stood beside her father while still keeping her eyes glued to the dangling earring on Wen Xinya’s ear.

Duke Moville guffawed and said, “It’s such a rare opportunity and a great honor to have you here, Rex!”

He scanned Wen Xinya from head to toe and paused for a moment as he saw the earring on her ear. However, he soon looked away, as if nothing had happened at all.

Si Yiyan answered calmly, “Don’t stand on ceremony, Duke Moville!”

He then glanced at Wen Xinya with a tender expression and gave her an introduction. “This is Duke Moville, and beside him is Lieutenant Colonel Boris, the successor of the Moville family.”

Wen Xinya bowed politely and said, “Nice to meet you, Duke Moville and Lieutenant Boris!”

Duke Moville smiled and asked, “Who’s this?”

Si Yiyan answered, “My fiancée, Bella. Duke Moville, you don’t mind that I’ve brought her along with me today, do you!?!”

He clearly did not plan to let the matter about Avrora slide.

Wen Xinya could not help but be appalled. Since when have I gotten myself a Russian name? However, I guess I can still accept it since Bella means wonderful in Russian.

Duke Moville was intelligent and he obviously understood what he meant. He shot Boris a glance, after which Boris soon caught the hint and stepped forward smilingly. “It’s my fault for failing to take my daughter in hand and allowing her to be disrespectful to the esteemed guests. I hereby apologize on Avrora’s behalf.”

Wen Xinya gasped in shock and thought to herself, This Duke Moville is indeed a sly old fox. Si Yiyan may be younger than him, but he’s on par with him in terms of wealth and authority. Avrora is the one who embarrassed herself by being rude first and by making her father Boris step in to apologize, making everything seem reasonable!

Not only did he show Si Yiyan due respect, but he also managed to defend his own pride and authority!

This Duke Moville is truly not a simple person.

Si Yiyan said calmly, “Lieutenant Boris, you’re making it more serious than it really is. Bella is a little timid, so she was scared soulless after hearing Miss Avrora’s threats. Hence, I’d like Miss Avrova to comfort Bella. As for the fact that she openly challenged my authority, I’ll just let the matter pass on the account that you’re her grandfather, Duke Moville.”

He would have let the matter slide if Duke Moville was the one who intervened and apologized. However, it was a different case now that Boris was the one who made the apology instead.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Wen Xinya thought to herself, Timid? Is he talking about me?

Why do I feel like I was substituted?

However, she was still glad to see how Si Yiyan had defended her and hence, pretended to be as meek as a lamb and huddled up beside Si Yiyan. It was as if she was really timid and terrified like what Si Yiyan had said!

Avrora turned pale and glowered at Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya shriveled up and said timidly in a vulnerable voice, “Yan, Miss Avrora looks so terrifying. She looks just like a ghost that’s going to eat me up. I’m so scared.”

She did not forget the snide remark that Avrora had made about her race and her skin color.

Everyone glanced at Avrora, who could not hide her grotesque expression in time!

Si Yiyan pursed his lips and said coldly, “Seems like Miss Avrora feels a strong animosity towards my fiancée. Is this how dukes educate their children? I’ve really gained an eyeopener today.”

As soon as he said those words, Duke Moville’s and Boris’ faces grew sullen. Avrora bit her lip and hung her head low to hide her feelings of jealousy and resentment.

However, Si Yiyan did not bother looking at their expressions and instead looked down to coax Wen Xinya. “Baby, don’t be afraid. She wouldn’t dare to eat you up with me around.”

Wen Xinya was shocked by the mushy way that he had just addressed her. To her knowledge, Si Yiyan would only address her that way in bed.

Wen Xinya clearly still had a sharp tongue just now and was berating Avrora because she knew she had the support of Si Yiyan. Yet, she was claiming to have been scared soulless, as if Avrora would believe her. Duke Moville thought to himself, They’re obviously trying to make Avrora apologize to Bella. He’s going overboard by making an esteemed heiress of an aristocratic family apologize to a woman who popped up out of nowhere.

Despite feeling extremely reluctant, there was clearly no way Duke Moville could turn down Si Yiyan’s request for an apology to be made, especially since he said that it was a challenge of his authority. He glared at Avrora sternly and ordered. “Avrora! What are you waiting for? Hurry and apologize to Miss Bella.”

Avrora turned pale but did so, anyway. She could not defy her grandfather’s strict orders. “Miss Bella, I’m really sorry. I was too disrespectful.”

Although Avrora was a little unreasonable and haughty, she knew the pros and cons, especially since she belonged to an aristocratic family.

A commotion broke out outside the venue just as they were speaking!
