The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

However, when his wife had him cornered like this, he couldn\'t escape without spitting anything out either. So, in his desperation, Mr. White could only admit half truth and make up half lie to cover his ass.

"W-Wifey, you know I would never hide anything from you unless it was really shameful…"

His wife frowned. "Well, maybe you shouldn\'t do shameful things in the first place?"

Mr. White felt his lips twitch. "A-Ahem, anyway, I didn\'t do it! Well, I mean, no wait—"

After all, although the ones doing \'shameful things\' were his two daughters, the blame of \'making it happen\' did actually lie on his shoulders. He couldn\'t deny that. But he couldn\'t bear to accept it either.

Mrs. White sighed. "What the hell are you even saying? I don\'t understand at all. Just stop hiding and spit it out, that\'s all I want."

Having been together for so many years, they already knew each other well enough. And Mrs. White also knew that, despite their individual flaws, the one thing they most definitely had in common was their love for their daughters.

At this point in their life, even if her husband really made a major mistake, Mrs. White wouldn\'t divorce him simply to avoid harming her daughters emotionally. Of course, he would have to suffer a little still, to make up for his mistakes.

Mr. White flinched, feeling a little cold all of a sudden. "O-Okay, so b-basically… y-you know how our youngest daughter has recently changed h-herself a l-lot?"

Seeing his wife nod, Mr. White felt his confidence increase slightly. "A-And, with all her changes, she seems to have d-discovered a new part of herself, which happens to really like her sister…"

Mrs. White tilted her head in confusion, wondering what kind of convoluted loop her husband was taking this conversation in.

"A-And, so, basically Emilia really likes Sam now, a-and you know Sam, she thinks Emilia is cute. S-So…"

"So?"

Mr. White gulped. "S-So basically… they play kissy-kissy games with each other sometimes, and I happened to know. T-That\'s it. Un, that\'s the secret."

After a short moment of awkward silence, the man nodded, as if convincing himself instead of his wife. "T-There\'s definitely nothing more."

Unfortunately, it ended up backfiring instead.

Having been married for so long, how could Mrs. White not have known the telltale signs of her husband trying to lie? Well, even if they hadn\'t been married, she wouldn\'t have to be a genius to know when this guy was telling a lie.

The only feature he really lacked was a red light over his head blinking whenever he lied.

Mrs. White shook her head at that thought. \'It would be a redundant feature anyway, since it\'s already so easy to tell.\'

This was why she handled most of their negotiations, after all. And the rest were carried out by either Noelle or Sam.

But Mrs. White didn\'t reveal it right away, and nodded instead, looking a little surprised and intrigued. "Interesting… so you\'re telling me that Emilia has a huge crush on our dear Sam, and they often like to kiss each other, right? Is that it? Is that what you were trying to hide so hard?"

Mr. White gulped. "Y-Yea—"

His wife sneered. "Do you think I\'m so easy to fool?! Hah, I knew right away that you were lying! Hmph, now tell me the truth, before I assume the worst."

Mr. White didn\'t even dare to imagine what the \'worst\' his wife could imagine would be. After all, in his mind, she was practically devil incarnate. So, with his legs shaking in fright, he finally admitted the truth. "A-Actually, Emilia and Sam… t-they— er, well, they do m-more than just k-kiss—"

Of course, he didn\'t tell her that it was all his fault. Just the end result. That should be enough, right?

Mrs. White sighed. "To think it\'s like this…"

Just as her husband was about to breathe a sigh of relief…

"To think you\'ve learned to lie to me so well now!!!"

\'GODDAMN!\'

And so, Mr. White, who had been so adamant in trying to hide it from his wife earlier, tried to convince her of the very same thing for almost half an hour before Mrs. White finally \'relented\'.

"Alright, I\'ll believe you for now. I\'ll trust that you\'re not keeping a side chick, even though I should definitely know better… And our daughters definitely didn\'t discover it, even though this would explain their strange behavior…"

If the sarcasm in her voice could drip any further, it would be all over the floor.

Mr. White felt his vision going dark. \'I regret… everything…\'

Mrs. White flicked her hair with a sneer. "To think you\'ve somehow managed to convince even Sam to not tell on you… wait a minute! I see now… no wonder you kept favoring her so much recently! This is how you bribe her, huh? But what about Emilia… Did you give her some toy?"

Her husband almost cried. "T-They\'re not little kids! I\'m really not cheating on you!"

Much to his mortification, once she was convinced of his guilt, Mrs. White immediately started dialing up a few \'acquaintances\' to check whom he was cheating on her with.

At first, it seemed to go well. It almost made him believe that maybe this would finally convince his wife of his innocence.

"Oh, he really didn\'t call or meet with you recently? Ah no, that\'s fine…"

But to his horror… the third number she dialed, was exactly that of an artisan chocolatier Sam had recently asked him to contact…

"Oh, he asked you for some \'candies\', did he?"

\'FUCK!\'
