The man’s urgent kisses were accompanied by the removal of clothing, making Ashley both flustered and embarrassed.

She hesitated for a moment before softening her body, cooperating with his movements and leaning into him.

Just as her clothes were wide open and she was completely naked, Brian suddenly stopped.

Ashley opened her eyes in confusion, seeing Brian still fully dressed, looking at her with clear eyes.

Only she stood naked by the window, her whole body enveloped in a blush.

Instinctively, Ashley raised her arms to cover her chest, with goosebumps rising on her skin. Her eyes were moist as she silently questioned him.

Brian’s gaze darkened as he scanned her body.

Her body were exquisite, her skin as white and smooth as always, covered in his marks.

Just like yesterday.

But he had never touched her face.

Her small face was noticeably swollen on the left side, with a bruise at the corner of her mouth.

“Did someone hit you?”

Ashley was stunned. He called her up not for sex but to check if she was hurt? And from his tone, it seemed Daniel hadn’t told him about Jack causing trouble at Quinn Group.

Ashley avoided his gaze, “No, I accidentally bumped into something.”

“Bumped into something?” Brian walked over, raising his hand to touch her cheek.

“Where did you get it?”

Ashley panicked a bit, quickly lowering her head to hide the injury. Her hurried movement caused her long hair to swing, releasing a subtle fragrance.

Brian, standing close, immediately smelled it.

His eagle eyes darkened.

His hand slid down to her waist, tracing her waistline. “Where were you at noon?”

Thinking about Jack causing trouble and her part-time job at Vee, Ashley felt even more guilty. “I was at school practicing dance.”

Brian’s hand moved lower, and Ashley let out a short gasp. He roughly stirred, “School, practicing dance? When did Huai University get so rich that they could use ’Rose of the Nile’ as air freshener?”

Ashley froze. Rose of the Nile was exclusive to Vee. Whenever important guests arrived, the club would use the perfume as an air freshener, spraying it from the ceiling.

So...the sweet scent was Rose of the Nile!

Brian saw she didn’t respond, and his fingers became more aggressive.

Ashley’s legs went weak, and she fell into his arms.

She could not let him know!

Ashley’s mind repeated this sentence.

“Ashley,” Brian’s voice was colder than ever, “you never learn.”

His face was calm, but his hands were rough.

Ashley thought, there’s no one more hateful than him.

Biting her tongue, Ashley looked at him with teary eyes, trying to appear sincere. “Mr. Quinn, I... I got it from a junior.”

“A junior?” Brian’s fingers became more vicious. “Just sent away Robert, and now there’s a junior?”

Ashley, disoriented by his actions, didn’t understand what he meant by “sent away.”

She hissed, tightly gripping his arm. “It’s indeed a junior. Her name is Anna. She’s... ah, a sophomore in Folk Dance.”

Brian silently stared at her for a while.

Ashley, driven to tears by him, biting her pink lips.

All her strength seemed to drain away, so she clung to his arms, barely standing.

Just when Ashley thought she was exposed, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her bruised lips.

His fingers also eased until they stopped.

He withdrew his fingers and gently caressed her face. “Since it’s a junior, introduce her to me.”

Ashley could only nod.

Brian slipped his arm under her knees and lifted her to the windowsill. Ashley, frightened, clung to his neck.

“Mr. Quinn!”

Brian spun her around, pressing her against the glass.

In the darkness, the whole yard came into view. Her chest pressed against the window. She felt the hard, and got totally nervous.

If someone passed by and looked up, they would see everything.

“Mr. Quinn, please!”

Brian covered her mouth with one hand and lifted her left leg with the other, pressing down on her.

His voice, with suppressed laughter, was like a devil’s whisper. “This is punishment.”

Without another word, he squeezed her harshly.

Ashley could say nothing but let out an, “Ah—”

...

This time, after returning from a business trip, Brian’s desires increased suddenly.

Ashley found it hard to handle, yet she couldn’t refuse.

When Brian finally stopped, Ashley was too exhausted to even move her fingers.

Half asleep, she felt the bed shake.

Ashley groggily opened her eyes, seeing Brian getting out of bed, drinking a glass of water at the table.

It seemed he also took some medicine.

In the silver moonlight, his figure looked as holy as an elf.

Who could imagine he would do such slutty things to her every night?

Unable to hold on any longer, Ashley fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, she realized she had spent the whole night on the second floor.

Seeing Brian still asleep beside her, she quickly dressed and tiptoed downstairs.

Back in her room, Ashley hurriedly washed up.

After ensuring there were no suspicious marks on her body, she put on a long dress and left the bedroom.

Crossing the hallway to the living room, she was about to head to the kitchen when she saw Brian sitting on the sofa, glancing at her.

Ashley paused, “Mr. Quinn, good morning.”

Brian continued reading the newspaper. Melissa gave Ashley a look, and Ashley quickly walked into the kitchen.

“Mr. Quinn just said he’s going to Huai University, so he can give you a ride to school.”

Ashley’s heart sank.

Going to Huai University? Was he really going to meet Anna?

Last night was too late; Ashley hadn’t had a chance to talk to Anna yet.

Ashley looked worried. “Why?”

Melissa gave her a puzzled look before continuing to prepare breakfast. “How would we, the servants, know the master’s business?”

She handed Ashley a breakfast tray. “Go, take this to Mr. Quinn.”

Ashley could only brace herself and take the tray to the dining room. After breakfast, Brian indeed proposed going to school with Ashley. She had no choice but to agree, nervously getting into the car.

Brian started the car and drove off.

From the mountain down to the main road, Brian didn’t say a word.

Ashley glanced at him a few times, clutching her phone, too afraid to send any messages.

She silently prayed that Anna would be clever enough to deal with whatever came.

At school, Brian didn’t immediately get out of the car. Turning to look at her, he said, “This is your last chance.”

Ashley’s heart raced, forcing a smile. “What?”

“I hope you and your little junior have rehearsed your story well,” Brian raised an eyebrow. “Or else...”

Ashley grabbed his hand. “Mr. Quinn, I’m not lying.” Brian looked into her eyes for a long moment before speaking. “You better not be.”

They got out of the car, and Ashley led Brian towards the Art Building.

Walking ahead, Ashley felt Brian following closely behind. After leaving the parking lot and turning right, they would reach their destination after walking straight for five hundred meters.

Ashley walked in silence, but as they approached a fork in the path, she noticed Brian veering left.

She frowned, watching him enter the Administration Building. The school principal came out, nodding and bowing to greet him.

Huh? Wasn’t he here to see Anna?
