"So you came so quickly. Made me wait."
The woman’s clothes were disheveled, her seductive wavy hair cascading over her chest, her allure faintly visible, shrouding her in an intoxicating charm.
Her gaze passed through Gao Yuyue and landed in the direction behind her.
"Ren Wensu is really something. She hides like a turtle but sends her underage daughter to face all this instead. What can I even say? Little girl, you’re still in high school, aren’t you? Go home early and sleep. Leave grown-up affairs alone."
Gao Yuyue stared coldly at her. "Did you hook him with that face of yours?"
The woman covered her mouth and laughed delicately, the shaking of her laughter making the three men present either tilt their heads up or down awkwardly. The rightful source is novel⦿fire.net
"Little girl, love is about mutual consent. You’re still young, you’ll understand when you grow up."
"Understand my foot." Gao Yuyue shouted explosively, pulling a gadget out of her backpack and spraying it onto the woman’s face.
Caught off guard, the woman was sprayed all over her head and face. She froze for a moment, then let out an exaggerated scream.
"What is this? What did you spray on me?"
The woman’s usually sweet, flirtatious voice cracked with rage and terror.
Gao Yuyue let out a sinister chuckle, resembling a soul-claiming demon. "Chili water mixed with garlic. It’s meant to kill bugs. Consider it a favor to you, you despicable wench."
The woman’s fair skin rapidly reddened and swelled under the effect of the chili extract, and her once-beautiful face turned into a swollen pig’s head.
In the blink of an eye, a captivating beauty had become a humiliating mess.
The three men present instinctively curled their lips, feeling like their own faces were burning.
There’s one person you definitely shouldn’t mess with: Gao Yuyue. Her methods are way too "ruthless."
The woman’s eyes stung too much to open, her entire face was burning and aching, and guttural cries of misery escaped her throat.
"You... You little brat, how can your heart be so cruel? I won’t let you get away with this."
"If you’re going to be a mistress, have the backbone of one. Stay in your place, and even if you play tricks with him, I won’t care. But if you dare stir things up in front of my mom, don’t blame me for crushing you."
"Aren’t you great at putting on a show?"
With a sweet smile, Gao Yuyue rummaged through her backpack. "Let’s see how we play next."
The woman sensed an impending doom and instinctively retreated. "You... What are you trying to do?"
"Wasn’t it you who called my house asking for my mom? What are you even? Do you think you’re worthy of my mother stooping down to deal with you? Today, I’ll teach you a lesson you’ll never forget."
Gao Yuyue decisively overturned her backpack, and everything inside spilled onto the ground.
Candles, lighters, ropes, a small whip, and several iron spiked balls...
These objects inevitably led people to think the worst.
Assistant Wen and Lin Meng, along with Lin Hu, exchanged glances filled with mixed, indescribable feelings at Gao Yuyue.
Preparing these items wouldn’t have been possible on the spot, which meant Gao Yuyue must have readied them in advance.
What was such a young girl doing with all these things?
Qing Hong suddenly shouted, "If anything happens to me tonight, Gao Dongting’s scandal will spread like wildfire by dawn. He’ll become a public disgrace, and the Gao family will be utterly ruined."
Gao Yuyue’s eyes darkened. She picked up the whip and lashed it at Qing Hong.
"Ruined? Let it be ruined. That’s what he deserves. I don’t care about being the Gao family’s heiress. In the end, every one of you will pay for your mistakes."
She had made her own mistakes, too—mistakes in failing to act earlier despite her doubts, allowing things to escalate into disaster.
Gao Yuyue poured all her bottled-up resentment and anguish into the whip, striking relentlessly at the woman without mercy, unbothered by Qing Hong’s blood-curdling screams.
Lin Meng and Lin Hu, who had faced countless battles, felt their scalps crawl. The Gao family’s young lady truly was a fearsome character.
Assistant Wen stayed in the corner, seemingly indifferent to the scene before him.
Exhausted, Gao Yuyue finally tossed the whip onto Qing Hong, spitting viciously at her.
"Bring me a bowl of water."
Qing Hong had already fainted from the pain.
Lin Meng nudged his brother Lin Hu with his elbow.
Lin Hu entered the bathroom and quickly returned with a basin of water.
Gao Yuyue added a few drops of chili extract into the water.
Lin Hu and Lin Meng instantly felt chills down their spines. Though the girl was strikingly beautiful, her personality was utterly venomous.
The world was full of mistresses, but few ended up as pitiful as Qing Hong.
Even the ever-expressionless Assistant Wen couldn’t help but frown slightly, lifting his gaze to take a look at Gao Yuyue.
Gao Yuyue ignored him entirely, lifting the basin of chili-laced water and pouring it right over the unconscious Qing Hong.
