The Devil Who Devoured Snow White Chapter 5

Ah… now she understood. He was forced to be here. No wonder he looked so surprised back then when the old man introduced him as her fiancé. It was an arranged marriage. An arrangement that she has no knowledge of… or maybe she had? She really didn't know with her head empty of the memories of her past.
"E-even if that's the case…" she stammered. She gazed at him for a few seconds, hesitantly.
This beautiful man in front of her should at least treat her kindly even if they were not lovers.
"Aren't we supposed to be… childhood friends?"
Bai Jingye stared down at her in contempt. Even if he didn't say a word, she could see how much he belittled her. He turned and left her there without saying anything else.
The iciness and the suffocating atmosphere coming from him disappeared, making her finally gasp for air. She didn't realize that she was actually holding her breath when she had the staring contest with him.
What should she do? She has nothing. Did she do something wrong to him before the accident took her memories? Has she sinned against him? Was that the reason he always looked mad?
Well now that she knew where her room was, it should be alright to look around, right? But the thought of meeting her mother-in-law made her change her mind. What if she got lost in this huge place? Even most of the servants eyed her with disdain so they might ignore her instead of helping her if she got lost.
She finally looked at the room and was surprised at the grandeur of it. Thick velvet curtains hung in front of the windows. A gilt wardrobe stood next to the beautiful canopied bed.
That's rich people for you. Wherever her eyes landed, it always spelled expensive. Flaunting their money was their specialty even without saying a word.

She should go back downstairs. She needed to learn the truth from Bai Keran. She wanted to check if there are photos or any kind of evidence that proved her connection with the family. If she asked him, maybe he would have no choice but to tell the truth about her relationship with his grandson.
"But father! How can you let someone like her, a peasant! Why did you allow her to enter this house?!"
Upon hearing the loud voice of a woman coming from downstairs, Mengmeng hurriedly hid at the corner of the stairs.
They were talking about her, right? No one else was new in the manor but her so it was easy to guess that.
"Even if she saved you, you can't just give my son's hand in marriage! This is too much!"
From the corner, Mengmeng saw the frosty glare that the old man was aiming at the woman complaining at him.
"My decision is final."
The iciness of the voice sent chills in her body. A sudden fear entered Mengmeng's body when she heard the change in the old man's voice.
He sounded so different... Was he really the same gentle and kind old man who accepted her in this family? He looked like he changed into another person!
Just… what has she gotten into? Doubts began to fill her mind but at the same time, she didn't have a choice but to trust the old man. He was the only person who was thinking of her. He never treated her badly. During her stay at the hospital, he was fun and easy to get along with whenever he visited her. She was his adoptive granddaughter… adoptive.
The woman said that she saved him… could it be possible that… he was repaying her for saving his life?

He was protecting her right now. The only reason why his mother didn't lash out at her was because of the old man's presence. She only needed to continue getting on the elder's good side just so she could have his protection.
The poor girl was clueless about her background and, in the end, all she could do was trust the only person who was kind to her, Bai Keran. She gave up on the idea of finding a proof of her connection to their family. Somewhere in her mind, she thought that it was better not to know.
During her stay at the old man's place, she was easily getting along with him. Acting like his filial granddaughter. She never complained about being engaged to his grandson since she liked him despite how indifferent he was to her. At the same time, her wedding was being prepared in the same week. Her help was unnecessary so they never included her in the preparation of the wedding nor did they ask about her opinions. At first, she found it strange but at the same time she couldn't complain. She shouldn't, especially when she has already received so much kindness from Bai Keran.

Ruining Happily Ever After
Laia is pissed. When she kills off a fan favorite from her successful novel series, she elicits the anger of some chuunibyou god-child. As her ‘divine punishment’, she gets thrown into a world of her own making– literally. Waking up as the villain of a shitty CEO romance novel she wrote long ago, Laia has to satisfy the life wishes that character has. If she does, she can get out of this world and return to her own. If she doesn’t, she dies. Armed with a talking fox-cat-thing to navigate the system mechanics of her punishment, she’s ready to turn the place upside to get what she wants. She's also not opposed to having a little bit of fun in the process. The original protagonist is in love with her, the original love interest is thoroughly destroyed, and– if it wasn’t already obvious– the original storyline is up in flames. ⋅ ⋆ ⋅ ⋆ ⋅ One crappy romance novel was enough, but another? “I fucking completed everything that stupid system asked of me, so tell your idiot brother to bring me back to my world.” The handsome man languidly sitting on the throne sighed dramatically, “Unfortunately, father and mother heard about what he did to you. He’s currently under guard and won’t be able to get you out of here.” “Why didn’t your parents get me removed from here first before locking your brother up?" "They forgot,” he simply said. He showed a regretful expression. She knew it was bullshit. Her temples throbbed, “So what are you doing here?” A beautiful smile bloomed on his lips. It was enchanting, bewitching, and made her want to bash his face in. “I’m here to keep you company,” he winked, “My Empress.”God.
