It was dawn at the developmental area. The sound of footsteps came closer and closer. Manfred woke up from his dream and opened his hawk-like eyes. “It’s me!” Lawrence Lester scurried there. “You’ve had me searching everywhere. Thank god you’re still alive.” Manfred’s dark eyes slightly faded.
“You’re badly injured, are you alright?” Lawrence asked while pulling up his disheveled shirt. There were several extremely deep wounds, all landed at the vital spots. Luckily Manfred had brought some miracle drugs with him, or else he would have lost his life. With a gloomy look, Lawrence rumbled, “They’ve really tried their very best to take your life!”
“Yeah, now you know it.” Manfred pushed his hand away and wanted to button his shirt up. A mark was unintentionally exposed and Lawrence seized his hand.
“What is this?” As he realized it was the mark of love-making, he instantly jumped to his feet. “Damn, can those from the Gordon family be more inhumane? Not only they’ve stabbed you, they’ve even sent woman to humiliate you when you can’t move. They must have known you dislike women and they did that on purpose, just to disgust you! Where had that woman touched you?”
Manfred tossed him a profound look. Disgust him? If they really wanted to disgust him, they would not send such a person over. The woman last night was a virgin, and…As he remembered the fear and the irresistible feeling he had, his eyes grew deeper. Seeing him falling into silence, Lawrence was horrified. “Could it be she’s succeeded? You…mated…with her?”
That was as serious as the end of the world. He remembered last time, the moment a daring woman touched Manfred’s one finger, rashes appeared everywhere on Manfred’s body and it could not be cured after a long time. “Are you really alright? Did you get rashes? Damn, I forgot to bring the drug from last time. Anyways, we’ll definitely take revenge on this!”
“Shut up!” Manfred shot him a glare in grievance. “Take me to the hospital!” Lawrence only then remembered Manfred’s wounds were way more important than getting rashes. “I’ll take you to the hospital now!”

Selina dragged her feet along her way home with her ached body. The man last night had done it again and again and the dawn almost broke when it ended.
The moment she pushed the door open, she saw Lindsay walking straight towards her. “And you still know how to come back. As the daughter-in-law of the Keith family, you’ve not come back for the whole night. Where on earth have you been?” Selina was slightly tired and she ignored her.
Yet Lindsay seized her sleeve and said, “How dare you ignore me? Have you forgotten how your family begged Horace to marry you back then?” Selina snorted and pushed her away. “They begged you, and then ask them yourself!”
That was unexpected and Lindsay accidentally tore her collar apart, the bruises after making love were all exposed before her. “You!” Lindsay widened her eyes. “How dare you cheat on my son! Somebody, tie this woman up and execute the family punishment.”
At the ancestral hall, Lindsay was holding the Keith family’s rulebook and she pointed at Selina with a contorted face. “Are you gonna spill the bean or not?”
“I don’t know what you are saying!” Selina stared at Lindsay’s face and finally got a taste of joy of revenge. “So you’re not gonna say it, are you? I’m so beating you up!” The cane landed on Selina over and over again and the pain made Selina curled up.
Her hair was drenched with cold sweats, yet she still maintained her smile. “Your son can play with other women outside, so why can’t I find a lover? If he can’t control himself, I’ll cuckold him. It is a tit for tat! And it’s extremely fair!”
Lindsay was so mad that she leaned back. She was so hysterical that she kept on whipping Selina. “Are you still thinking you’re the mistress of the Jones family? The Jones family is already doomed. If not because of Horace pitied you, you’re even less than a beggar now. Fair or not, I’ll beat you up to death today!” The cane landed on her once more, and Selina passed out straight away.
