Chapter 220 I’ll Give You Ten Seconds to Get Ready

The room itself was indeed spacious, but when Hunter was inching closer to her by the second, Emily
suddenly felt that her room was shrinking in size.

She tried to escape this confined space by circling around him and exited through the door.

But somehow, she would always end up getting caught by Hunter no matter where she tried to escape
to although his pace was pretty leisurely and slow.

In the end, she was being held motionless against the study table.

“I am very angry today.” Hunter’s tone was devoid of anger as he declared this.

“Woman, shouldn’t you accept some form of punishment for your previous actions?”

“Aren’t you holding the view that I’ve done nothing wrong?” They just had this conversation a moment
ago. Was his memory somehow failing him?

“Do you think you’ve done nothing wrong at all in the afternoon?”

“I’ve done nothing…”

“In my personal opinion, you’re utterly wrong about something.” And he had promised her to talk to her
about this behind closed doors at night. He was delivering his promise at the moment.

“But, that was when we were still out there. We were… talking about some formal matters.”

Emily squeezed her eyebrows hard as she came to a realization after catching a hint of disdain
underneath his very eyes. For this guy, his words were absolute!

As long as he saw fit, it didn’t matter whether something was really just formal or personal matter.
Nobody could refute his position once he had settle on one!



This man was too domineering!

“Then, what do you want to do now?” Emily immediately regretted herself for asking such a question.
She was digging her own grave by asking this question.

As expected, a flash of smile appeared at Hunter’s lips. It was a rare smile even for someone like him.

“I’m not going to do anything, I just think you need to be punished slightly.”

“What kind… of punishment are you talking about?” Her voice was slightly hoarse now. She felt her
throat rapidly drying up as she asked this.

His smile was really… captivating. If she was not being careful, her entire existence would be sucked
into that charming vortex.

Emily was frozen on the spot until Hunter suddenly picked her up and marched towards the bathroom.
Only then did her senses return. She subconsciously grabbed his half-undone shirt and stammered,
“Young Master Hunter, what are you doing now?”

“Didn’t I say that we should enjoy ourselves as much as we can since life is short?” Hunter lowered his
head and there was a flash of brilliance hidden within his eyes. His gaze had the power to enchant
others, yet it was somehow intimidating.

“Since I haven’t tried some things yet, I think I should give it a try.” He kicked open the door to the
bathroom and marched into the bathroom with wide strides.

“No… no way! Wait a minute, Young Master Hunter!”

He put her down, and at the moment she wanted to flee, she felt a force pulling her into his embrace.

He was pinning her in between the sink and his body as he started to remove her flimsy T-shirt.



“No… you can’t do this, Young Master Hunter. Don’t do this to me, I’m- I’m not ready for this, I…”

“Alright, I’ll give you ten seconds to get ready.”

He was grinning at the moment at her flustered look. He was really amused by her.

“Now, I’ll remove your clothes which are in the way.”

“Didn’t you say that I have ten seconds to prepare?” She thought that she would have ten seconds of
solitude in the bathroom to mull things over.

Perhaps, she would have a slim chance to escape his grasp that way.

“That’s right, I’ll get into the bath with you after ten seconds.” It was only natural for him to remove her
clothes during this extremely short interval.

“That’s not what I mean…” Emily was on the brink of tears when she discovered that his understanding
of these ten seconds was very different compared to her understanding!

“Wait a minute, wait- wait a minute…”

Suddenly, Liam’s voice came from outside the room as he knocked on the door, “Young Master Hunter,
something bad has happened.”

Hunter was planning to ignore him. Was Liam getting more and more useless nowadays? Couldn’t he
handle things himself even if something bad had happened?

“Liam is looking for you now.” Emily tried to push him to get some separation from her body, but to her
dismay, he wouldn’t budge.

“He will be able to deal with it fine.” Hunter’s huge palms were now clasped on her waist. He was trying
to uplift her T-shirt through the gap of her clothes near her waist.



Emily struggled to stop his advancing hands but his other hand was removing her T-shirt from another
direction. She couldn’t stop him from achieving his goals at all, so she was in an utter mess and she
was going to go crazy!

Her shirt was really going to be uplifted in no time, and her tight undergarments was going to come into
exposure!

She couldn’t help screaming at this stage but this bastard was savoring this joyous moment endlessly.

No, she couldn’t let him go all the way! She couldn’t lose her ground completely!

She really didn’t want to get into a bath with Hunter. She couldn’t bring herself to do something so
embarrassing!

They might really just take a bath together, but what would the future hold for them afterwards? This
naughty bastard would only continue to come to her with outrageous requests after outrageous
requests!

“Young Master Hunter, our relationship is one constructed on paper. We are being tied together
according to an arrangement, so please stop doing this to me.”

“While the contract is still in effect, at the very least we are still fiancé and fiancée.” Hunter didn’t faze at
her attempt to stop him. The smile continued to linger on his lips ever so slightly.

“Is there any unmarried couple who won’t do this kind of thing? Hm?”

“No…”

“Young Master Hunter!” Liam’s voice interrupted them abruptly again as it bombarded them from
outside the room. “Young Master Hunter, Wendy is… missing now.”



…Wendy was missing? If Liam had come to Hunter with this news, then it must be true. And her
disappearance might be one veiled in danger.

Although Emily really hated this woman, and she loathed Wendy’s despicable means, but the news of
Wendy’s disappearance couldn’t arrive at a better timing for her right now. It was her saving grace.

“Young Master Hunter, she is grandma’s savior.” She didn’t waste any time to remind him.

Hunter’s face immediately blackened after hearing this.

He had almost got what he had wanted, yet a news of Wendy’s disappearance had arrived at such
precise timing and called for his speedy response.

Liam’s method of handling such matters had rendered him possible for a change of personnel very
soon!

Despite being separated by a massive bathroom door, Liam could still feel Young Master Hunter’s
disdainful gaze piercing through him. After all, he had no other way. Otherwise, he wouldn’t want to
intervene in his joyful endeavor too.

Liam drooped pitifully while continued to report, “EwanHall had somehow taken his eyes off her and
she was gone just like that. He is asking for your permission to mobilize some men in order to start the
search immediately.”

“One more thing, Ewan Hall has mentioned that Wendy has some inclination towards committing
suicide. He said that she had been calling you over and over again but you’re not giving her any
response.”

“Wendy had attempted to jump into the sea but Ewan Hall was able to save her that time. After that,
she claimed that she wanted to calm her nerves alone by the sea, and Ewan Hall didn’t reject her



request.”

“He was just away for one moment to fetch her a bottle of water from the car, but she was nowhere to
be seen when he returned to the beach.”

It seemed like she had really jumped into the sea by the look of things.

Emily was sure that this woman would never kill herself like this, but she decided to keep her opinion to
herself at the time being.

She gently pushed Hunter while saying in a low voice, “You should… look for her now. Or else, it will be
hard to face grandma in the future.”

Hunter was unperturbed by her words. Emily continued to press, “Didn’t you promise grandma that you
will protect her?”

If this was not the case, why would he arrange EwanHall who was a formidable person to look after
Wendy?

Hunter was a man who always kept his words. He would always honor his promises. Once he had
promised to carry out something, he wouldn’t just sit by idly and turn a blind eye to things.

Hunter shut his eyes momentarily as he sucked in a deep breath. All of a sudden, he shifted all of his
weight towards her body.

“Ah! You…” Emily’s pretty eyebrows were befuddled hard as she thought that this guy… was so uptight
now! He had put all of his weight on her. His steeliness was intimidating her!

She bit her lips as a sense of guilt slowly rose from within her heart.



He was being interrupted so suddenly when things were going well, so of course he would be unhappy.
If such interferences repeated a few more times, it would even impair his bodily functions.

Hunter suddenly removed the force he exerted on her after being on top of her for some time.

He casually buttoned up his shirt while taking long strides to exit the room…
