Chapter 52 Ca Is My Priceless Treasure!
"No. I''m sorry for disappointing you but no!"
Ca answered without giving it much thought. She took his hand off her chin and went back to eating
melon seeds and watching TV.
"I don''t believe you," Terence frowned. He had seen her say yes but mean no, so he didn''t think she
was too dense to feel his love. But he wanted to confirm his spection as soon as possible so he
decided to test it.
Just then, some rattling sounds were heard from outside the door.
"Mr. Terence? Are you there, Mr. Terence?" a woman asked.
Taking a quick look at Ca who hadn''t moved, Terence stood up and walked towards the door.
The moment he opened the door, the woman who was calling him walked towards his direction. She
then held his hand and pouted like a spoiled child. "Terence, you''re the host, so you can''t hide your
face in here. Otherwise, people will not think that I am wee here," the woman''s voice irritated
Ca.
Ca watched as Terence left with the beautiful woman from the door that they forgot to close. She
threw the seed shells at the door and murmured, "All men are trash!"
From the faint noise that could reach the room, Ca thought that the people outside must be enjoying
themselves.
After some time, Ca noticed that it was gettingte.
She decided to leave Sean''s room. In contrast to the quiet corridor, it was very noisy on the second
floor, so that was where she headed.
There was a Karaoke room on the second floor which she never saw Terence visit. But with how loud
the people in the room were being, it was hard to miss the ce.
Opening the door, the first thing Ca saw was entangled bodies of men and women under the
twinkling lights.
Terence was holding a woman''s waist while dancing in the center of the floor. His ecstatic look made
him more attractive yet dissolute.
Ca was stunned for a while. Having known him for a long time, it was the first time for her to see him
like this.
It seemed reasonable for him to act in that way because as a youth of a rich family, it was expected of
him to throw himself into the most exclusive and most high-end of parties where he would be
surrounded by all kinds of beauty while drinking the most expensive drinks. After all, he had everything.
Why shouldn''t he just enjoy life?
The Terence in front of Ca looked totally different. It was hard to imagine that he was still the same
Terence that could only see Ca, the Terence that couldn''t bear to hurt Ca in any other way.
A rich, handsome young master of noble birth should enjoy life and its privileges, rather than be stuck
with someone like her.
Ca felt the distance of their differences grow farther and farther by the second.
Perhaps, a gap that was dictated since their births should not be trifled with.
Ca had a strong foundation of confidence. Like other girls, she had sometimes daydreamed of
marrying a rich man at an early age. But the fact was that she was too realistic to indulge herself in
those silly fantasies.
There were times when she couldn''t afford any new clothes for half a year in order to save money to
support her little brother. Even though she kept on wearing her uniform all the time, she was still a
happy girl in front of other people.
Because she had to learn how to be independent and only rely on herself, she never allowed herself to
indulge in another person''s care. Hence, she had never fully let herself loosen up with Terence.
Reason would never allow her to deceive herself. Because they were not from the same world, the
care that Terence had been showing her could easily turn into indifference or even disgust someday.
No matter how much they wanted to ignore it, their differences existed forever.
"Ca? Come on in. Don''t just stand there. Come and have fun with us!" Megan saw Ca standing at
the door so she pulled her to the dancing floor.
Ignoring Ca''s embarrassment, Megan pushed her in a spot where she could clearly see Terence
being surrounded by beautiful women. With Ca''s gaze locked on Terence, Megan turned to her and
stated, "Look, Ca, Terence is so happy to be with so many pretty girls. It''s every man''s dream. Don''t
you think so?"
Ca wasn''t used to a dim and cramped ce coupled with shing colorful lights and the smell of
alcohol so she felt a little dizzy. That was why, when Megan gave her a little push, she slid and took a
step back.
Unfortunately, she stepped on someone''s foot.
A woman''s squeal was heard from her back and before Ca could react, she heard a loud p. The
next thing she felt was sharp pain on her right cheek.
"Are you blind? Look at what you did to my foot! I can''t even feel my toes!" the woman shouted.
It happened so fast that Ca was still bewildered. She covered her face in an attempt to relieve the
pain.
"Ouch, it''s killing me! Terence, please help me check my foot. Is it broken?" The woman lifted her foot
painfully. At this moment, someone opened the lights.
The room was then brightly lit and everyone''s focus was directed to the two women.
Terence who drank a little turned to Ca with blurry eyes. When he saw her swollen cheek, he was
immediately consumed with rage.
The woman named Vi didn''t notice the change in Terence''s mood and continued seductively rubbing
herself against Terence''s side. She pointed at her shoe which was smeared with a little dust and
pettishly said, "Terence, please help me take a look because I can''t bear the pain..."
"Does it hurt?"
Terence asked in a low voice masked with concern.
"Yes, it really hurts. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have pped that woman. I''m a kind-hearted person,
Terence... You..."
Vi wasn''t able to finish her sentence because Terence pushed her away to the side and walked

straight to Ca. He bent over and touched her face, stating with genuine concern, "Tell me whether it
hurts."
Stepping back, Ca kneaded her face and answered, "I''m fine. Go and check whether her foot is
broken or not. If she wants to go to the hospital for an examination, I''ll take charge of the medical
expenses."
With each step she took backward, Terence took a step forward. He wouldn''t allow her to avoid him.
With one hand holding her waist, he checked her face with the other hand, and then yelled, "Nathan!"
Hardly had his voice faded away when Nathan came in.
"p that woman on both cheeks. Make sure her face is swollen and then throw her into the bog
outside the vi. I don''t ever want to see her again. Also, from now on, everyone is not allowed toe
here without my permission. Megan is not an exception," Terence ordered.
Then, he held Ca by the waist and they walked out of the Karaoke Room.
"Terence! What are you saying, Terence? Did I do anything wrong?
Why are you treating me like this? I didn''t make any trouble! For God''s sake, answer me!"
Megan shouted at his back but all she could do was watch him leave.
Unfortunately, Terence simply ignored her.
Megan thought she could hide her secret, but it turned out she was wrong.
How smart Terence was! He was aware that Megan called all of the people to irritate Ca and force
her to leave. For Terence, however, he just wanted to make Ca a little jealous and maybe make her
confess that she had affections for him.
Although, he didn''t expect things could turn bad so suddenly. Ca was pped by an awful woman
which made him really angry
and crazy!
In his bedroom on the third floor, Terence grabbed the First Aid Kit and put some discutient on Ca''s
swollen face. He gently said, "Ca, I''m so sorry. It''s all my fault! I shouldn''t have let them stay here!"
Watching Terence frown nervously and me himself, Ca grabbed his wrist and consoled him,
"Don''t say sorry, Terence. It''s just a p. It won''t kill me..."
Besides, the punishment that he gave Vi was enough.
"What do you mean by ''just a p''? Of course, it''s not just a p. I will never allow anyone in the world
to hurt you, myself included," Terence earnestly said.
Ca was his priceless treasure and his only love who he cherished the most. He couldn''t even bear to
hurt her, let alone if it was other people doing it.
