Chapter 400 Ha! He really disgusts me!
He slowly emerged from the shadows, his gaze sweeping coldly over Michele. "I'm afraid that won't work. Lord Raneta doesn't want to see you."
“Don’t you want to see me?” Michele frowned in disbelief, then looked at Timothy.
He didn't believe that idiot Ranetta would suddenly refuse to meet him, but if Timothy had instigated it, then it was hard to say.
Michelle's gaze involuntarily drifted to Timothy. "It was you? You're the one who wouldn't let Father see me, aren't you?"
As he said this, he still harbored a glimmer of hope, wishing that things weren't as he imagined.
Although Michele has only been reborn for a short time, the changes between Timothy in his previous life and Timothy in this life have had a great impact on him.
He refused to believe that the male insect before him, who looked at him with disgust, was the same male lord who had loved him so dearly in his previous life.
Timothy chuckled upon hearing this, "That's right, congratulations on getting it right, but there's no reward."
Michele: "..."
He was so angry he almost laughed.
He never imagined that Timothy was actually behind it!
He suppressed his anger. "Timothy, I advise you to let me in quickly. Don't you know how complicated the Lanetta family's business is now? Only I can get through so many connections! The Lanetta family can't do without me!"
He tried to persuade the other party with his usual reasons, even with a hint of unspoken arrogance.
Timothy's lips curled slightly, and his gaze toward Michele grew even colder. "Oh, you mean those businesses?"
His tone was indifferent. "His Excellency Lanetta has entrusted me with the handover. From now on, I will take over all your work. So, there's no need to say things like 'I can't live without you' anymore."
"What?!" Michele was struck dumb, her eyes fixed on Timothy.
A wave of absurdity and panic washed over him, making his voice tremble: "Handover? To you? Timothy! How...how dare you?! What right do you have to treat me like this?!"
Timothy finally raised his eyelids, his once gentle eyes now filled with only coldness. "How did I treat you? Ha! Michele, you should think about how you treated me back then!"
Whether in his previous life or this one, he could have had a good outcome.
But it was all because of Michele that he paid a heavy price!
Michele was taken aback, a flicker of panic crossing her mind, but it was quickly overwhelmed by anger.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about! Timothy, listen to me, this is not the time to throw a tantrum! Only I, as the Lanetta family, can lead the family to continued prosperity! You simply don’t understand the stakes!”
In his previous life, he successfully led them to the highest position in the empire.
His claim might be somewhat credible for other insects.
But for Timothy, this was ironic.
He was once Eli's chosen male insect, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he was destined to marry the future insect queen of the empire.
In his previous life, he married and even became the eldest prince's powerful ruler.
What did Comiket do?
He helped him ascend to the position of insect king, but he made him share one of his sub-female insects with four other male insects.
Ha! He really disgusts me!
Timothy let out a short, cold laugh, his eyes full of mockery. "Are you going to lead the Lanetta family to prosperity, or are you going to use the Lanetta family's resources to pave your own way and curry favor with Acosta and Had?"
"You!" Michele's face turned deathly pale instantly, as if Timothy had struck a nerve.
His connection with Hader had always been kept secret, so how did Timothy know?
Could it be that he saw something before, or is he just guessing?
Michele forced herself to remain calm and sternly rebuked Timothy, "You're talking nonsense! Timothy, you're spreading rumors! You're slandering me! Lord Harder and I are completely innocent!"
Timothy looked at his blustering but cowardly demeanor, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes, as if he felt it was a waste not to even say another word to him.
He turned around and waved his hand. "Say what you will, but don't ever show your face here again. The Lanetta family doesn't welcome you!"
Seeing that Timothy was really leaving, Michele's pent-up anger finally erupted.
He screamed at the resolute figure, "Timothy! Are you content with this?! Content to be kept like this, a plaything by a male insect?! Where is your former pride?!"
Timothy stopped in his tracks instantly.
He slowly turned around, and at that moment, his face was no longer indifferent.
Instead, it was a long-suppressed hatred, a hatred that wished nothing more than to kill Michele.
Who is responsible for his current state?
Timothy stared at Michele and said, word by word, "Arrogance? Ha! If it weren't for you, I would still be His Highness the Crown Prince, a powerful ruler with a bright future! You ruined everything for me! You've brought me to this point!"
His voice was extremely suppressed, yet exceptionally clear.
"So I'm telling you, Michele. If I'm not having a good time, you'll never have one! This is what you owe me!"
After saying that, Timothy didn't linger and turned to leave.
As Michele watched his figure disappear into the deep shadows of the courtyard, she couldn't help but roar, "Timothy! Come back! Come back here, you bastard!!"
He pounded futilely on the courtyard enclosed by the fence gate, his roars echoing in front of the empty gate.
But not a single insect cared.
Seeing that he had been struggling for so long without being able to get into Lanetta's house, Michele kicked a decorative pillar next to him hard. "No, this can't be left like this!"
He belatedly pulled out his personal terminal, his fingertips becoming somewhat unresponsive due to anger.
[Lord Acosta, I... I've been kicked out of my family. My father, I don't know who he listened to, is now refusing to let me in. Waaah, Lord Acosta, I need you.]
After sending the message to Acosta, he thought for a moment and then opened the interface where Had was.
Then he sent a similar message to Hader in a more dependent tone.
[Lord Hard! Help me! My father's new scoundrel is bullying me in the Lanetta family, waaaaah, Lord Hard, I need you...]
Michele deliberately obscured Timothy's gender, only emphasizing that he was bullied by "the male father's new vicious guy".
After the message was sent, every second of waiting felt like torture.
The computer screen went dark and then he turned it back on, repeating the cycle.
Finally, the quantum computer vibrated once—only once.
It's Hader's reply!
Acosta's profile picture remained grayed out, offering no response whatsoever.
This stark contrast made Michele's heart sink, but it also strengthened her resolve to grasp at Hader as her lifeline.
