1 Chapter 1 Amanda Smith, how can you be so shameless!

Amanda Smith opened her eyes and saw the man sleeping beside her.

His soft black hair fell gently across his face, softening the usually sharp lines and making him appear much more gentle. He was still asleep, long eyelashes casting fan-shaped curves against his eyelids, and his lips were slightly pursed, giving his sleeping face a somewhat childlike look.

Remembering what had happened last night, a sweet smile spread across Amanda's delicate face. She turned to watch the man's face, feeling joy swell in her heart.

Samuel Johnson was the man she had loved for fifteen years. To be mutually in love and to have things progress this way made her very happy.

Suddenly, the man's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his eyes slowly opened.

"Samuel..." Amanda said shyly, but before her smile could fully bloom, it was interrupted by the man's voice.

"Why are you here?!" Samuel Johnson bolted up in the bed, looking at Amanda on the bed as if he had seen a ghost. He was not inexperienced; he could remember very well what had taken place last night in his drunken state.

He had slept with Amanda Smith...?

With this woman...?

While Samuel Johnson was in the midst of his frenzy, the sound of the door being opened with a "pop" rang out.

"Young Master, the lady asks you to come down for a meal... Ah!"

The maid, upon seeing Amanda Smith in Samuel Johnson's bed, let out a scream in shock. Before the two people in the room could react, the door was snapped shut again!

In an instant, Samuel's face turned dark.

The joy that Amanda Smith had been feeling slowly faded under his increasingly cold countenance. She looked at the man before her with a touch of unease,

"Samuel..." she began tentatively, only to be harshly cut off.

"Amanda Smith, how can you be so shameless!" The man raged, "You know I don't like you. How could you be so cheap as to crawl into my bed?!"

Amanda's face went pale instantly.

Crawl into his bed?

But last night, it was clearly him...

"Samuel, I didn't..."

"You know I have someone I like, and yet you still do such a despicable thing!" The man, who had always ignored her, exploded in fury as if his tail had been stepped on, berating Amanda as if he was not venting enough, and upon seeing her still on his bed, he forcefully pushed her off, "Such a shameless woman like you, I wouldn't touch you even if you were the last woman on earth! Do you think that by doing this, I would marry you? Dream on!"

Amanda was pushed to the ground, and because of the aching all over her body, she didn't get up for a long while. She looked up at Samuel Johnson, who seemed to find even a glance at her repulsive, turning his head away. He was quickly getting dressed at the moment.

She had thought that after their intimacy he would treat her with a bit of tenderness, but now it seemed like nothing had changed at all...

Amanda's lips moved, but she was at a loss for words. The man had already briskly dressed and, like avoiding the plague, he simply skirted around her and left the room.

Left alone in the room, Amanda collapsed on the ground, her fists slowly clenching.

It's fine. Since he had taken her purity, grandfather would surely make him take responsibility...

With that thought, she slowly bit her lower lip.
