Chapter 546: Warm-Up Before the Meal

Damn it, her barely naked body was only wrapped in a towel. There was nothing else covering her
flesh, and her movements were restricted.

“From how you are looking now, you look better than before.” He continued to tease her.

“I have told you, stop coming close to me!”

…

Suddenly, she launched into action and scooped up a huge vase from behind her to hurl at that man.
The important thing here was that she was aiming for his temples. Since she was going to do it, she
needed to damage him where it hurt the most. She couldn’t be blamed for being ruthless, it all began
when he was too selfish and self-assertive.

The huge vase flew across the air.

She was about to shut her eyes and waited for the sound of the vase connecting on that bastard’s
head.

With a loud bang, never did she expect that the man was able to catch the vase with ease as if
performing a magic trick. He frowned slightly and commented, “You’re destroying priceless things here.
This vase is a relic from the Ming dynasty.”

She was so shocked that her mouth was wide open.

How could this be? She made sure to use a lot of force! Her strength was huge, and the speed of the
vase flying was high too. How could he catch it with just one hand? And it seemed that it was too easy
for him.



She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and without putting in any more thought, she began to launch her
second attack.

She got off the bed in a flash and grabbed something to hurl at that man. She didn’t expect that she
would get her hands on a long rifle!

What the! He was secretly stashing away some military weapons!

If she were to report him, jail-time would be impending for him!

“Don’t come here! Tell someone to send me my clothes!”

She raised the rifle and aimed the muzzle at the man.

Only then did she realize that everything that she had thrown at him was placed neatly and orderly on
the table by that man.

It was obvious that he was able to catch everything that she had thrown without breaking a sweat.

“There’s live bullets in there. Aren’t you afraid that you will hurt yourself?”

The man seemed unconcerned as he commented lazily.

She bit her lips and cursed silently: Damn it, I don’t know how to use a gun…

“Don’t you dare come any closer to me! I will shoot you and kill you! If you don’t believe me, you can try
your luck!”

She leaned against the wall and cried out with heavy breathing.

“That’s fine. You can pull the trigger. I am curious to see your skills in handling a gun. Go ahead.”



The man smiled dismissively and his face which was wearing a mask looked dominant and mighty.

She was at a loss for a moment.

Then, she gritted her teeth and said vehemently, “You’re the one forcing my hand here!”

The man slowly approached her.

Just when it was only three meters separating them and she was at the brink of breaking down, she
pulled the trigger while screaming.

With a consecutive loud shooting sound, several bullets sprayed out from the muzzle…

The recoil of the rifle was massive, and if she wasn’t lying against a wall, she would have been blown
to the floor.

The moment the gun sounded, the man shifted his body with an unbelievable speed to dodge the spray
of bullets, and with a blinding speed, he was already by the girl’s side. He grabbed the muzzle with one
hand and with some force exerted on it, the long muzzle was bent into a U-shape by him!

“Ah! You!”

You’re not a human! You’re a ghost!

She was completely shocked out of her wits.

Bang! The door flung open, and Armand was raising a gun at the door. He asked anxiously, “Timothy,
are you alright?”

At that moment, the towel which was covering the girl’s chest loosened. The man was fast on his hands
as he grabbed the towel with one hand and hugged the girl with his other hand. He also snatched away



the bent rifle and tossed it to the floor. He then said indifferently, “You can dismiss yourself now. We are
just at the height of our fun.”

Armand was startled for a moment before lowering his head and taking a leave. He closed the door.

“You…”

She didn’t even know what to say at this point.

With a sudden movement, he pressed her onto the bed, and an evil smile played around his lips, “You
little girl, you have invoked my lust.”

“You can’t force me!” She screamed.

The man curled up his lips as if he had heard a joke, “Oh? Is that so?”

…

His slim and long fingers lightly descended on her face. He was caressing her cheeks.

As if mild electricity had passed by, she felt her body jolted in shock.

Damn it, why did this man look like he was toying with a pet dog? Could it be that he was seeing her
like a dog?

Her two tiny arms were pushing against his shoulders in an attempt to prevent him from pressing
himself on her. Her red lips were calling out warily, “Hey! It’s ungentlemanly of you to bully a girl! You’re
not a real man! If you are that amazing, you should attract me with your charisma!”

“Hmm, in my opinion, being able to tame a wild cat is even more amazing. You little brat.”

With a sudden flicker, her towel disappeared out of sight as he pulled it away and threw it randomly.



“Hey! You sick bastard! You barbarian!”

She suddenly lost her tenacity, since, after all, she was only eighteen, and she was not all that in the
know about these kinds of things between a man and a woman. She was faced with a male creature
without anything to hide behind.

Every part of her was exposed…

She hastily tried to cover her chest, and upon hearing that man’s whistle that indicated his admiration,
she followed his line of sight and met his eyes.

Damn it! He was looking at her private part with interest!

With a loud slapping sound, she moved her hand at the speed of light to where her private parts were.

Her upper and lower body couldn’t be covered at any one time, and as she tried to cover both by
shifting her hand upwards and downwards, she was on the brink of losing herself.

The man was chuckling evilly, “You’re practically screaming out loud that you’re a virgin… are you
really one?”

It was a suspicion on his part, and it was also a provocation towards her!

She replied vehemently out of habit, “It’s as real as it gets!”

After answering him, she realized to her shock that she was in such a precarious position where she
was going to get gobbled up by this man any time soon. There was no point in arguing with him now.
She should try to think of a way to get out of here!

She glanced at this man’s waist and saw a towel wrapped around it. She wasn’t afraid, and she could
guess where his important part was. After taking in a deep breath, she used all of her strength and



kicked up her knees!

She was going to destroy his private parts!

Who was he to force himself onto her?

With a loud slap, that man had grabbed her swiftly advancing knee without her realizing, and his other
hand was supporting his weight on the bed. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, “Oh? You little
brat, you learned taekwondo before?”

The girl’s attack fell through, and a faint disappointment rose in her heart. Without dwelling on this too
much, she launched her attack again! Her fist went towards the man’s face, and she had already
thought of what to follow through too. If he dodged her fist by moving his body sideways, she would
then lash out with her leg at his private parts again!

“I am a master at taekwondo!”

Actually, she only learned a few moves before which only scraped the surface of this martial art. She
was just too impatient to go through the training.

“Is that so? This makes it even more interesting…”

The man said lazily and with a tilt of his face, he was able to dodge the girl’s attack with ease, and after
that, he used his knees to lock the girl’s legs into place on the bed so that she couldn’t move anymore.
He then grabbed her two hands and locked them in a position above her head. She was pinned in
place!

His muscular chest was now rubbing against her tender and soft breasts.

“You bastard! Let go of me!”



She suddenly felt the first wave of fear.

Her so-called attack was nothing in his eyes. Every one of her moves was repelled by him easily.

Was she that useless, or was he too strong?

“Brat, are you done with the warm-up before our meal?”

…

Warm-up before the meal?

What was he talking about?

She froze for a second before coming to understand what he meant by a “meal”. The next second, her
face was flushed with bright red.

“If you dare to lay your fingers on me, if you dare to force me, you just wait, I will resent you for my
whole life! I, Rylee Carroll, sweat on my name!”

“Rylee? Is that your name?”

“As long as I can still breathe, I will get my revenge on you no matter what!”

“Hmm, is that so?” His lips closed in on her cheeks, and a warm air appeared near her face. He wasn’t
kissing her, he was just lying very close to her, and his breath was sweeping at her, “You’re going to
hate me your whole life… that sounds like a great idea too.”

“Ah, your hand!”

Where was his hand touching her…



She bit her lips hard, and her whole body was now flashing a reddish colour. She was even trembling
slightly.

His hand… was stroking her skin lightly.

The towel that was on him fell too…

…

A year ago.

Rylee had a backpack on her back as she made her way into the ward with an incredulous expression.
Her footsteps were light as a feather.

“Mum… My mum…” Rylee’s eyes widened and a few beads of tears had broken free of her eyes.

A piece of white fabric was covering a frail body. Her mother had passed away at a very young age,
and once upon a time, she was at the peak of her life.

“Rylee, your mother has gone to heaven. She is at peace when she was going there… Rylee…”

Rylee’s father, Brook Carroll, was sobbing with his eyes reddened. He was patting Rylee’s shoulders
with his huge hands.

From what he was seeing at that time, Rylee was a really thin and fragile child. At most, she was one
hundred and sixty meters tall, and her figure was frail too. Her shoulders were shuddering
uncontrollably.

“No!” Rylee cried out exasperatedly, “No! My mother won’t be gone just like that! She is going to
accompany me! How can she abandon me and go by herself? How could she do that? She won’t leave
me alone! Mummy! Mum! I beg you, please wake up now. I promise you that I will be a good girl and I



will never make you angry again. I promise you to do that. Mum, I beg you to wake up, I beg you…
Please be by my side… Mum…”

Rylee broke free from her father and sprawled onto the bed. She was crying her guts out.

Brook was standing a meter away, and he was wiping away his tears.

“My daughter, let your mum be in peace. She’s very tired, and from now on, I will take care of you.
From now on, you will follow me to live in the Carrolls' Manor.”

The Carrolls' Manor?

Rylee let out a cold snicker.

That so-called manor belonging to the Carroll family was not a place that an illegitimate daughter with
impure blood like her could set foot on.

Some time ago, her mother used to dream of entering the Carroll family with an official title. She used
to dream of being part of the Carroll family by holding Rylee’s hand… However, it was nothing but a
dream!

It was her mother’s naive dream!

This dream had stolen her mother’s eighteen years of her best life on earth!

She had been waiting for eighteen years, and she had been weeping by herself for that amount of time.
In the end, she couldn’t wait until the moment her father would marry her!

Now…

Her mother was gone, and her father suggested bringing her to the Carrolls' Manor?



“It’s still early, you know.” Rylee suddenly blurted out these words.

“What?” Brook couldn’t comprehend her.
