Chapter 449


    “Yes. I have a scheduled lecture at University T tomorrow.” Ashlyn was determined to uphold her


    promise since she had a deal with the Chancellor of University T.


    Suddenly, Lucas approached Ashlyn with his attractive face and sexy lips.


    As soon as Ashlyn detected the man’s wless face, she felt a strong urge to bite his crimson lips.


    Unable to pull herself together anymore, she gave in to her urge. She leaned over and bit the man’s


    lips.


    All of a sudden, both were taken aback as they felted a tingling sensationing from their lips.


    Evidently, Lucas was surprised.


    Then, he grinned. He couldn’t believe Ashlyn had taken the initiative to kiss him on the lips. After all,


    never had she taken the initiative to kiss him.


    He wasn’t irritated at all; instead, he was indulging himself in the pleasurable session.


    Lucas couldn’t resist the urge to return the favor. He gently pursed Ashlyn’s lips with his own lips.


    Ashlyn, surprised by the man’s sudden move, abruptly pushed Lucas away.


    Immediately, she rushed out of the dining hall in irritation. Meanwhile, Lucas burst intoughter,


    chuckling in the dining hall all by himself.


    Oh, goodness! What on earth is wrong with me? Have I lost my mind? Why did I kiss Lucas on the


    lips?


    Something must be wrong with me somewhere because it feels as though I’m turning into an entirely


    different person. Ashlyn clenched her fist as she thought to herself. At the same time, she was


    reminded of the steamy scenes of her intimacy with Lucasst night.


    Her body temperature increased involuntarily once more. She was on the verge of losing control of


    herself again.


    Forget about it, Ashlyn! Pull yourself together!


    She gritted her teeth and pped herself in the face in an attempt to keep herself sane. She warning


    herself not to be deceived by the man’s stunning visual.


    In the meantime, the butler joined Lucas in the dining hall and informed him about the incident that had


    urredst night.


    “Are you serious? What happened?” Lucas’s expression turned grim all of a sudden.

    The butler replied while avoiding Lucas’s gaze, “Ms. Berry almost fell down the stairsst night.


    Thankfully, she managed to respond ordingly in the nick of time and somersaulted twice in the


    air…”


    Lucas couldn’t suppress his emotions anymore upon knowing what happened. He started to give off a


    menacing vibe——he was about to go berserk.


    Ashlyn would never stagger and fall down the stairs because she’s a skilled martial arts practitioner. I’m


    sure something is going on behind the scene!


    “I want you to figure out what has gone wrong!” Lucas instructed in a callous tone.


    “Yes, Mr. Nn.” The butler took note of Lucas’s instruction and dove right in immediately.


    In the bedroom.


    Lilian approached Ashlyn with a gentle smile. “Ms. Berry, I have handpicked some flowers from the


    garden for you.”


    Before Ashlyn could respond to Lilian, thetter had already entered the bedroom. Lilian went over to


    the window and ced the vase she was carrying on the windowsill.


    Ashlyn turned around and took a peek at the yellow flowers.


    Since it seemed like a great addition to the bedroom, Ashlyn expressed her gratitude. “Thanks.”


    “Ms. Berry, you haven’t dropped by the garden since you came to the manor, have you? Do you want


    me to bring you around and show you the way to the garden?” Lilian suggested enthusiastically.


    Ashlyn smirked upon hearing Lilian’s words, staring at Lilian in the eyes with a prating gaze. She


    was aware of what Lilian was up to.


    Once again, a shiver ran down Lilian’s spine as she thought Ashlyn had seen right through her evil


    scheme.


    She can’t possibly figure out what I’m up to, could she?


    Just as Lilian was lost in her own thought process and was expecting Ashlyn to turn down her


    suggestion, Ashlyn replied, “Sure!”


    It was a sunny day, perfect for a day out in the garden.


    Since Ashlyn wasn’t familiar with the way, she followed Lilian. The two walked through a rugged road


    and came to a remote location.


    asionally, Lilian would turn around to check on Ashlyn. “Ms. Berry, I’m quite surprised that you’re


    able to follow through these nasty trails at ease.”


    “Actually, I’m quite surprised that there are so many precipitous routes behind Lucas’s manor,” Ashlyn


    replied nonchntly.


    Ashlyn had her gaze fixated on the cliff ahead of them. She asked with a smirk, “Why don’t you tell me


    what exactly you are up to? It seems like you have gone to great lengths to bring me here.”


    Instead of the initial bright smile, Lilian now had a vicious grin as she asked rhetorically, “Oh? Aren’t


    you a smart one? Since when have you figured out we’re not here for a walk?”


    ring at Ashlyn in the eyes, Lilian frowned and yelled hysterically, “You’re but a pretentious w****!


    How dare you get full of yourself?”


    Ashlyn tucked her arms and raised her eyebrows. Looking at the infuriated woman in front of her, she


    replied nonchntly, “Oh? Who are you to question me when you’re but a nobody to Lucas?”
