The Silent Heir Heard Every Secret I Hid Chapter 01

The Silent Heir Heard Every Secret I Hid Chapter 01

My sister had married into the wealthy Halcroft family.

At our first family dinner, I took one look at Leith Halcroft—my brother-in-law’s younger brother—and decided I wanted him.

He couldn’t speak, so I figured he couldn’t rat me out.

After that, I slipped into his room every night and teased him until his ears burned red.

One night, just as I had him blushing all the way to his ears, comments suddenly flashed across my vision.

[The villainess is DISGUSTING. She won’t stop sexually harassing the male lead!]

[Relax. She’s about to get what’s coming to her. The obsessive male lead is almost out of patience, and he’ll soon destroy both her and her sister.]

[Their ending is SO satisfying. He kicks them out, makes sure they have nowhere left to go, and drives them both to their deaths.]

I didn’t believe a word of it.

Then, in the very next second, I heard Leith’s thoughts.

[I CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!]

***

Couldn’t take what?

Me flirting with him?

I hadn’t believed the comments at first. Whenever I teased Leith, he always looked reluctant, but he never actually stopped me.

He let me flirt with him every single time.

I was convinced he liked me too. He was just too shy to show it.

But after hearing that thought, I wasn’t so sure anymore.

After a moment of hesitation, I decided to test him.

I leaned in without warning and kissed the corner of his mouth.

Leith’s face went scarlet.

He shoved me away and rushed into the bathroom.

More comments appeared.

[Is the villainess INSANE? She just stole the male lead’s first kiss!]

[One kiss made him run to the bathroom to throw up. That’s not dislike. That’s a full-body rejection.]

[No wonder he doesn’t even look at her when she begs for mercy later. He just has his men beat her and throw her out.]

I walked to the bathroom door.

Then I heard Leith’s thoughts again.

[This is driving me crazy! I seriously CAN’T TAKE IT anymore!]

I froze.

That was when I finally believed the comments.

Leith Halcroft hated me.
