Chapter 1788

Willing To Sacrifice Herself

If Micah dared to lay a finger on her, she was willing to die to preserve her sanctity. As for Micah, it was
the first time he had encountered a woman like her. Although she was of similar age to his daughter, he
felt the urge to bed her the first time he laid eyes on her.

Over the past few days, he was fantasizing about Arielle during his idle time instead of his own wife.
Nevertheless, his health remained the priority still.

By the time she cures me, I will make her mine regardless of her protests. Both of us will go on to have
an exceptional son who will become my heir.

“Don’t worry. I won’t touch you again. In fact, I was just testing you.” Micah gave Arielle a gentle and
down-to-earth look. “There are just too many women on this island who desire to be mine. Thus, I
wanted to check if you were just playing hard to get.”

Although Arielle had no idea what Micah’s true intention was, the incident had increased her vigilance
toward him.

Previously, she had assumed that he would stop coveting her for the sake of his own health.
Unfortunately, she now realized how wrong she was and that she had underestimated human nature.

“I sure hope it’s just a test. If you dare lay a finger on me, you can forget about walking out of this
mansion in one piece.” Throwing Micah a threatening glare, Arielle gradually warned, “I’m not the kind
of woman who can’t defend myself.”

Her words caused Micah’s heart to skip a bit.

Obviously, I underestimated her. However, so what if she’s someone capable? She’s still all alone here
on my territory. Moreover, every woman I set my sights on will eventually become mine.



Nonetheless, Micah dropped the idea for the time being and decided to continue pursuing the matter
after his body had been cured.

“Don’t worry. I won’t bother you. Just let me know once you have received all the herbs you need,”
Micah reassured her before turning to leave.

At the same time, Arielle watched his leaving silhouette with a frosty glint in her eyes. Truth be told, the
herbs she had asked for could be used for other purposes other than treating his body. In fact, she was
capable of turning them into something lethal.

I hope my words are enough to warn him off. Otherwise, I have no qualms about taking his life.

“I heard Ms. Anna bought a slave and wants him to become her man. However, when he refused, she
sent him to the slave camp where he has to labor at the plantation.”

“He should be grateful that Ms. Anna has taken an interest in him. For having the gall to reject her, he
truly deserves to be sent to do hard labor at the plantation.”

“I heard that the slave is exceptionally handsome.”

“I heard the same too. Also, rumor has it that he was heading home on a cruise ship when an explosion
occurred, causing him to be shipwrecked on the island. Upon being rescued, he ended up being sold
instead. It’s a real shame that he—considering how distinguished he looks—is stuck on this island for
the rest of his life.”

Arielle had barely stepped out when she overheard the housekeepers’ conversation which caused her
heart to race.

Can the handsome man they’re talking about be Vinson? I must head over to the plantation to take a
look.



Holding that thought, she returned to the mansion and had the scheming housekeeper lead her to the
plantation.

Upon her arrival, Arielle scanned the surroundings in hope of finding Vinson. All of a sudden, she was
stunned.
