In fact, her mother didn’t have any so-called savings at all. She was a very thrifty and honest woman
and after being by Brook’s side for so many years, it turned out that she had saved up nothing at all.
She didn’t even have any presentable jewellery. Every time she thought of that, Rylee would feel a
stabbing pain in her heart!
The reason her mother had ended up that way was that she believed in pure love!
She had loved Brook with all of her beings!
From the start to the end, she had nothing but love towards that evil businessman!
She didn’t care if she had an illegitimate daughter, and she didn’t care if she was branded a bitch by
her neighbours. She would work tirelessly so that she could protect her true, pure love!
Her mother was really foolish for loving a man who was so heartless and emotionless.
Rylee stared at the azure sky with a tinge of sorrow in her heart. She sniffed loudly.
Joseph took her words at face value as he let out a nonchalant chuckle, “I see, so that’s the reason. I
told you before, how could your mother end up without any savings? Hmm? Then how did you not
realize that before this? Why did you try to borrow money from me?”
Although Joseph was someone a little oblivious, he still found it strange that she initially wanted to
borrow money from him.
Rylee pouted and glanced at Joseph’s clear eyes. She said with ease, “Oh, at that time I was too
consumed with sadness that I have forgotten to check my mother’s safe. It’s just that.”
“Oh, luckily then. You can buy a brand new grave for your mother, and then you have enough to
renovate it too.”
Joseph said this cheerfully, and his face was a picture of innocence.
“Yes.” Rylee nodded.
Rylee suddenly thought of a problem as she began uncertainly, “About this…Joseph, listen to me… I’m
talking about that… that…”
Joseph was still shaking his legs as he admired the sky. He was completely relaxed, “Hey, what are
you trying to say? You’re the one who’s so babbling on now! What are you saying?”
“I’m talking about…” Rylee scratched her head, looking like she was in deep trouble. She was shy to
broach this topic.
“What are you saying?”
“It’s that… I want to ask about you… you and your girlfriend… You used to have that sort of relationship
with…”
“What? What relationship are you talking about?” Joseph’s eyes were wide as he stared at Rylee.
Was he seeing things? Why did he sense that this brat was mustering some courage to say something
while her face was blushing?
“Hey, you know what I’m talking about!”
“With how you are enunciating your words, how can I know what you are trying to tell me? I really don’t
know.”
“It’s, it’s…. that physical relationship I’m talking about! Damn it! You are really clueless!” Rylee was able
to force out those words with much difficulty, and her face was now as red as an apple.
“Oh? Since when are you that interested in a relationship between man and woman? Do you have a
guy you like now? Are you going to do it with him?” Joseph’s eyes were sparkling.
“Who told you that I have a crush on some men? I just want to learn some things, no, wait, it’s not
about that either. I just want to investigate, no, wait it’s not like that too. I am just asking, that’s all.”
“This is really suspicious, you know.”
“Are you going to answer me or not?”
“Alright, alright, alright. As your best friend, I have the responsibility to answer everything that you are
curious about! Say it, what do you want to know?”
…
Rylee stared wide-eyed and asked after some deliberation, “Let me ask you when you’re doing it with a
virgin, do you feel any guilt?”
What?
Joseph was caught off guard. He finally couldn’t hold back anymore as he laughed animatedly, “You
foolish brat, why would I have a sense of guilt? More like a sense of accomplishment.”
“B—but, it’s the girl’s first time. She would hurt and bleed, but you won’t even feel guilty and bad for
her?”
“To hell with feeling guilty! All men long for a virgin, and when a girl gives it to him the first time, it’s like
an honour to the man. All the emotion that the man can feel is excitement when they are going at it.
Why would he feel guilty? The man would only be excited, yes, he would be strangely excited!”
As Joseph reminisced about his past, his eyes narrowed and emotion came to his face. He even licked
his lips as he said that.
Rylee was fuming “Hmph, all men are perverted!”
“Oh? What did you say?” Joseph scratched his ears.
“Nothing! Move your face away from me as far as you can!” Rylee slappedJoseph across his beautiful
face and pushed him away disdainfully.
“Hey, hey, hey, this is so not appropriate! Rylee! My face is so godly and handsome, yet you have the
nerve to trample all over it! Don’t you know that my face is my bragging rights? Is there any woman
who is as violent as you? And you still call yourself a woman!”
Rylee burst into laughter as she kicked him repeatedly, “Get lost! I am not one of those mindless fans
of yours, and I am already tired of your face. Get lost!”
The pair of best friends bantered and messed around in a good mood.
As for how others viewed this pair of besties, they were lovers who couldn’t be separated from each
other.
The classes had ended.
Rylee and Joseph both rode a mountain bike and wore their headphones. They chewed on some gums
and was slowly walking on the road.
Rylee pulled off Joseph’s headphones and said, “Joseph, want to grab some mixed rice tonight?”
“You are not planning to eat at home? Why are you eating that messy food out there?”
Rylee pouted.
In truth, whenever she thought of the Carrolls' Manor, her so-called “home”, she was really reluctant to
return to that place.
It was torture to eat at the same table as the three siblings of the Carroll family.
Rylee said with pity, “I am just craving for something spicy… Isn’t it weird if I just eat alone? You have
to keep me company.”
Before Joseph could answer, a call came and he picked it up, “Yes, it’s me talking… really? Asking me
out? Tonight? Alright, babe, I will see you at that time! See you later!”
Rylee rolled her eyes.
Joseph shrugged and said, “You heard it, I have a date tonight. Brat, you shouldn’t eat outside every
day. It’s not very hygienic and healthy, do you hear me? Get back home soon! I will come with you on
Saturday to choose a grave for your mum. Bye for now!”
“Hey! Joseph! You should drop dead! You only see pretty girls and you forget about your friend! I hate
you so much!”
Rylee complained while fuming but Joseph was already disappearing from her sight.
When he was far away, he even waved merrily at her.
…
“Joseph! You have abandoned your friend as long as you have a woman to keep you company! You
are a bad person! So bad!” Rylee continued to complain as she rode on her bike helplessly.
Where should she go now?
The Carroll family home?
She wouldn’t be able to avoid eating dinner with the three sisters. For her, it was no different from
getting tortured.
“How about… I will eat some fried rice noodles?”
Rylee asked herself.
With her eating all alone at the food stall, she would appear lonely and weird.
…
“Timothy, your car really stands out. It’s especially thrilling when you accelerate! How about lending it to
me for a few days?”
Kenneth was driving recklessly as he said noisily.
Timothy Wheeler, who was sitting beside him flashed an impatient expression at him, “Why are you
driving so fast? We are not on a highway.”
“Timothy, isn’t Armand opening a way for us in front? It would be a waste if we don’t drive this beauty
fast! This is a Bugatti! It’s different from my Lamborghini!”
“Look in front of you! You’re so noisy!” Timothy rubbed his brows helplessly.
“Oh, you’ve tossed me around like I am a sack of something. With the way you tossed me around, I
thought my body was falling apart! I thought I am going to be incapacitated. Is it so wrong to vent my
frustrations on your new car? Tell me, Timothy, your body is made of steel, and you wouldn’t have any
problem if you were to fight with one hundred of those special forces. You shouldn’t be all too worked
up when you’re just practising with your brothers, you know? Can’t you just go through the motions?
Armand and I thought that we are on our way to see God himself! You are too ruthless, Timothy!”
AS expected, Kenneth Keith was getting very good at complaining and babbling nonsense. He could
ramble on without stopping for an hour.
“I have just used a hundredth of my strength, so you have only your mediocrity to blame. You don’t
even pose a threat.”
“Damn it! Are you saying that our attacks tickle? With my strength, I can fend off a dozen people, you
know. It’s just that you’re a monster, and I am still a normal human being. I am not like you, you crazy
Ultraman.”
Timothy shook her head helplessly, but suddenly he shouted, “Focus on the road! There’s an old lady
in the front!”
“Ah!” Kenneth also discovered a very slow old lady in front, and he cried out while stomping the brakes.
However, the car was moving too fast, and the old lady was moving too slowly.
“Change the direction!” Timothy ordered as he moved ahead and steered the steering wheel abruptly in
another direction.
Rylee suddenly saw a car careening at her!
It felt like that car had a rocket booster behind it!
And that car seemed to be just seconds away from crashing into an old lady!
Damn it!
Without even thinking, Rylee darted towards the car with all of her strength while yelling, “Look out,
granny! There’s a car coming at you!”
Rylee jumped off her bike which was blown away, and she stood aside from the old lady while making
a pose to block the car.
Bang! A loud bang ensued.
Rylee’s mountain bike had crashed into the windscreen of that car, which dented it.
As for that car, because it suddenly shifted right at the last moment, it banged into a wall on the right. It
was now billowing with white smoke.
Everything happened in a split second.
If that car didn’t crash into a wall, it probably would have crashed into that old lady and ran over her.
…
Rylee was still shaking with fear and after being frozen for a few seconds, she remembered to check
on the old lady, “Granny, are you okay? You’re fine, right?”
The old lady seemed to be deaf as she didn’t reply to Rylee. With her turtle-like speed, she continued
to inch towards the opposite of the road.
Rylee scratched her head in confusion.
This old lady really was on another level with her deafness.
