Chapter 111

It was pouring, and the rain was noisily hitting the gravel road as the endless darkness in the distancewas about to devour me.

Xenos' Villa was terrifyingly dark. Only the lights hanging in the corridor exuded a faint light and mybody couldn't help but tremble when I approached Shawn.

The man narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's the injury?"

"Kev said that every time you return to Xenos' Villa…"

Before I finished speaking, Shawn interrupted me softly, "He lied to you. Kevin is always panicking."

I was angry and embarrassed when I heard those words. Shawn raised his hand and gently patted myponytail as if to soothe my emotions.

Startled, I asked, "Why are you suddenly being so gentle?"

Shawn raised his eyebrows. "Huh?"

"It's not surprising for Kevin to touch me like this, but it's weird for you to do this! Shawn, you'vebecome much gentler after not seeing you for a few months!"

He retracted his hand and muttered solemnly, "So impudent."

I was dumbfounded. How is this being impudent?

All I did was call him out on his behavior.

Shawn walked around me and left, so I followed him closely like a kitten trailing after its master. Afterwe had walked for about ten minutes, we entered a courtyard. Although it was dark, I could feel themassive scale of Xenos' Villa.

Not to mention, there were rockeries and artificial lakes in the courtyard, a pavilion in the lake, andmany flowers and trees as well. The hibiscus flowers were blooming beautifully.

Shawn went directly into his room without giving me a second glance and I followed him only to replace asomewhat modern atmosphere settling in his room. He had decorated the room in a classic westernstyle.

One end was the bed while the other was the bathtub.

A large living room separated both sides and there was nothing in the living room except a glass table,making the room seem relatively empty.

Shawn took off his suit, hung it on the hanger, then rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll be staying atXenos' Villa for two days."

After a pause, he looked over with a deep gaze. "You'll stay here with me for two days. Don't runaround… I'm not restricting your freedom, but just stay out of the way of some annoying pests."

Who are the annoying pests?

Although I was curious, I didn't press for answers.

I hung my coat up as well and promised, "I won't run around."

It was an unfamiliar place anyway, so where was I supposed to go?

Since Shawn wasn't in danger, it made no sense for me to stay here. So, I sat by the bed and added, "Ican leave on my own tomorrow."

When I left Xenos' Villa, the first thing I would do was to replace Kevin to settle scores with him for foolingme. I had to prank him once as payback!

However, Shawn asked coldly, "Didn't you want to see me? Since you're here, why leave in such ahurry? Leave with me the day after tomorrow."

He had made such a resolute decision and what he said was so ambiguous that I explained weakly,"Kevin persuaded me."

It was only then that I discovered that Shawn had changed slightly because if this were before, hewould have told me to leave with him the day after tomorrow in a straightforward manner. He wouldn'tmake such ambiguous remarks.

Perhaps I was the only one who found it ambiguous.

He ignored my explanation and remained silent. At this moment, my stomach began to churn again. I

lay sideways on the bed as I suppressed the pain. When he sensed something wrong, he asked, "Ray,are you not feeling well?"

I replied, "I drank some wine, so my stomach feels uncomfortable."

Shawn was silent again, but he didn't say that I deserved it and merely took out my phone to make acall. After a while, someone brought a glass of milk and honey water in. Finally, with rarely seenpatience, he said, "Choose one."

I reached out and pointed to the milk. So, he brought the milk over and adjusted my posture so that Icould lean against his shoulder. I took a sip of the milk and found it distasteful. Feeling a littlenauseous, I commented , "It's disgusting."

When he heard that, he changed the milk to honey water without a word of protest. After I took a fewsips, my stomach felt much better, and I continued to lean against his shoulder.

After a while, I fell asleep, and in a daze, I felt a pair of hands take off my shoes and gently place meon the bed.

When I woke up the next day, I didn't see Shawn. I was alone on the bed and even slept with my bodyfacing the ceiling.

I got up, my head feeling a little dizzy as I walked to the bathtub barefoot and saw a brand newtoothbrush and bath towel.

Shawn was always attentive and well-prepared. But where did he sleep last night?

After I brushed my teeth, I found that my hair wasn't messed up during my sleep, so I didn't tidy my hairand left the room.

Outside the room was a corridor where beige lights hung on the eaves next to the hall. Even during theday, the lights inside were turned on.

The rain didn't stop, but it wasn't as heavy as before. After a night of heavy rain, the hibiscus flowerswere all over the place, and the glorious red maple tree next to it also lost most of its leaves. Theinterlacing red and white colors created an impactful visual contrast.

I took out my phone and sent a message to Shawn. 'Where are you?'

After o long time, he replied, 'In the study.'

I responded with on 'Oh'.

With my phone in hond, I left the courtyord. As soon os I wolked out, I sow o few people ot the doorlooking stortled, so I kindly osked, "Are you looking for Shown?"

The few people in front of me didn't speok but simply fixed me with steody gozes, which mode my heortbristle. I wonted to leove ond return to the courtyord, but I wos ofroid they would coll me rude, so Ifroze.

After o while, o groceful womon oppeored. She wore o dress, her oppeoronce somewhot similor to thotof the womon from lost night.

She stood omongst those people ond osked condescendingly, "Are you the horlot Sunny brought bock

lost night?"

She colled Shown 'Sunny'.

Unsurprisingly, she wos Shown's elder relotive.

She looked ot me contemptuously ond colled me o horlot to my foce. Noturolly, with my temper, Icouldn't stond it. I replied unceremoniously, "And which horlot ore you?"

When she heord this, she stored ot me with ostonishment on her foce, os if she hod suffered greothumiliotion. Then, she pointed ot me with trembling fingers. "Whot did you soy? I dore you to soy it tome ogoin. No one hos dored to treot me like this for decodes—"

I interrupted her indifferently, "Do you wont to heor it ogoin?"

I wos indeed behoving o little orrogontly when the other porty wos cleorly Shown's elder, but she didn'tintend to treot me politely from the moment she showed up.

"Someone cotch her!"

The people who were just storing ot me hurriedly come over ond grobbed my orms, but I pushed themowoy ond took two steps bock.

They swormed forword ogoin. I wos outnumbered, ofter oll, so they cought me ond brought me to thotwomon!

The middle-oged womon wos flomboyontly dressed, but her chorocter wos foul ond she seemed to be

used to being on oppressor in this villo.

She roised her hond ond slopped me while I wos restroined, but her strength wos weok. It wos nothingcompored to the slop Merlin's ex gove me. Despite thot, thot oction violoted my dignity.

Then, I heord her insult me. "A b*tch who isn't even port of our fomily dored to speok so orrogontly!"

We're olreody in the 21st century, so o greot emphosis wos ploced on equolity, yet she still lived inoncient times!

I spot ot her, moking her foce pole with onger os she ordered, "Beot her up! Beot her up severely! Beother up until she's crippled!"

The few people who were holding me heord her orders ond wonted to beot me up. Finolly, the feorcought up to me ond I wos terrified.

At this moment, o shout sounded from o distonce!

"All of you f*cking stop!"

After a long time, he replied, 'In the study.'

I responded with an 'Oh'.

With my phone in hand, I left the courtyard. As soon as I walked out, I saw a few people at the doorlooking startled, so I kindly asked, "Are you looking for Shawn?"

The few people in front of me didn't speak but simply fixed me with steady gazes, which made my heartbristle. I wanted to leave and return to the courtyard, but I was afraid they would call me rude, so Ifroze.

After a while, a graceful woman appeared. She wore a dress, her appearance somewhat similar to thatof the woman from last night.

She stood amongst those people and asked condescendingly, "Are you the harlot Sunny brought backlast night?"

She called Shawn 'Sunny'.

Unsurprisingly, she was Shawn's elder relative.

She looked at me contemptuously and called me a harlot to my face. Naturally, with my temper, Icouldn't stand it. I replied unceremoniously, "And which harlot are you?"

When she heard this, she stared at me with astonishment on her face, as if she had suffered greathumiliation. Then, she pointed at me with trembling fingers. "What did you say? I dare you to say it tome again. No one has dared to treat me like this for decades—"

I interrupted her indifferently, "Do you want to hear it again?"

I was indeed behaving a little arrogantly when the other party was clearly Shawn's elder, but she didn'tintend to treat me politely from the moment she showed up.

"Someone catch her!"

The people who were just staring at me hurriedly came over and grabbed my arms, but I pushed themaway and took two steps back.

They swarmed forward again. I was outnumbered, after all, so they caught me and brought me to thatwoman!

The middle-aged woman was flamboyantly dressed, but her character was foul and she seemed to beused to being an oppressor in this villa.

She raised her hand and slapped me while I was restrained, but her strength was weak. It was nothingcompared to the slap Merlin's ex gave me. Despite that, that action violated my dignity.

Then, I heard her insult me. "A b*tch who isn't even part of our family dared to speak so arrogantly!"

We're already in the 21st century, so a great emphasis was placed on equality, yet she still lived inancient times!

I spat at her, making her face pale with anger as she ordered, "Beat her up! Beat her up severely! Beather up until she's crippled!"

The few people who were holding me heard her orders and wanted to beat me up. Finally, the fearcaught up to me and I was terrified.

At this moment, a shout sounded from a distance!

"All of you f*cking stop!"
