A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 18 The Prenup

Linda was pissed. This guy was clearly awake for a long time, and yet he still pretended to be asleep.

What was he up to?

"This is my bed. Why can't I sleep in it?" Charles slowly opened his eyes and stared at Linda's pretty

face like he was trying to read into her soul.

"Shame on you!" Linda was obviously irritated.

"I will show you what is shame." As he was talking, Charles got up and pulled Linda to his arms with a

swing of his big hands.

Linda smelled a light fragrance.

It didn't smell like perfume so much as the smell given off by Charles himself.

Linda yelled in fury,"Let go of me! Why are you so horny?"

"Isn't this what you want? Isn't this why your family went to the trouble of sending you here? Can you

honestly say this is not what you want?" Linda was infuriated by the smirk on Charles's face.

Went to the trouble? What I want?

She wished she had never met this man in the first place!

Arrogant! Narcissist! A perverted man with persecutory delusion!

What deliberate encounter? What going to the trouble?

While thinking about that, Linda suddenly developed an interest in analyzing his mental issues and

asked,"Charles Mu, have you experienced some sort of emotional trauma? Why do you always

assume that people are there to hurt you?"

"..."

"Well, yes, indeed,"

Answered Charles while nodding his head. Linda became more excited and said,"Why don't you tell me

about it? I minored at psychology when I was in college. Maybe I can help!"

A teasing smile developed on Charles's lips as he looked at Linda with his sharp and deep eyes.

"Really?"

"Yes," nodded Linda like a little chicken pecking at the rice.

Charles Mu flipped over and pressed himself on top of Linda. A dangerous air permeated the entire

room.

Charles was irredeemably attracted to this girl underneath him as he felt his body started to heat up.

He had seen plenty of beautiful women, but no one could turn him on in the way Linda did.

Only this girl...

"I need love. Can you help me with that?"

Linda struggled to break free, for she found this position to be extremely dangerous.

Being a virgin, Linda's ears were burning with embarrassment for a moment.

Charles, on the other hand, was rather delighted to see her infuriated face.

"Get off me!" yelled Linda.

"Didn't you say you want to help me?"

"You..."

Suddenly, there was a sound of someone knocking on the door.

Only then did Charles got off Linda in a slow motion and calmly said,"Come in."

A few seconds later, Paul came in. When he caught the sight of Linda's rumpled clothes, he

immediately realized what had happened,"Well... Is this a bad time? Do you want me to come back

later?"

Linda was about to explain when Charles interrupted her and said,"Yes."

...

Linda was utterly speechless. This man was really... Shameless...

"There is no need, Paul! Say what you have to say!" Linda hurriedly stopped Paul from leaving. What if

Paul left and this guy continued his insanity? After all, this was his turf.

Paul gave Charles a look, and only opened his mouth after Charles had nodded his permission.

There was a subtle trace of smile on Charles's lips.

"Young Master, everything has been arranged as you ordered," answered Paul respectively.

"Well then, give it to her."

Paul handed a stack of papers to Linda.

The clueless Linda opened up the file, on which there was a title that read: Prenup.

"What is this? Charles Mu?"

"Can't you read for yourself? That is a Prenup."

Linda had grew immune to Charles's sarcastic remarks and went on reading the file without paying

much attention to what he just said.

Charles continued,"I know that for a new-found daughter, you would not have much love for the Xia

clan."

"Well? So what?"

"Then why would you agree to this engagement?" With a change of tone, he looked as if he was trying

to read into Linda's soul with his sharp eyes.

"Because you are rich." What is wrong with marrying a rich guy? I would have everything I want!"

answered Linda.

Charles certainly did not buy into this answer.

"Lady Linda. If we were to do this, the least you could do is to be honest with me."

The intelligent group of the Mu clan, known as the WSS, had already found out the fact that May Shen

had sent hit man to kill Linda on a bridge and made the whole thing look like an accident.

So naturally, Charles knew that Linda was not sent by the Xia clan.

It was just that he liked to look at her furious look. He found it very interesting.

Linda continued,"Then tell me this. Why do you want to marry me? Surely a Young Master of the Mu

clan can get whatever girl he desires. Why me?"

The Mu clan could just sit aside and turned its back at the financial crisis of the Xia clan. Why would it

agree to the engagement with the Xia clan?

Growing up, Linda had gotten used to people's indifference towards other people's suffering. In her

experience, people tended to strike you when you were down.

She did not expect someone offering help in situation like this.

"I suppose it wouldn't hurt to tell you the truth. First off, your biological mother grew up with my father.

They were very close. That's why he insist on honoring the engagement made when we were little,

because he had promised it to your mother."

"I do not take you for an obedient son."

"No, I am not."

"Then why?"

"I don't have to tell you why. You need my help, not the other way around. It is all in the prenup. Go see

for yourself. I will give you one day. Once you sign it, it becomes legally binding."

"You!" Linda's chest began to hurt out of anger.

"Your biological mother had treated me well, and for that I am eternally grateful. When the Xia clan

announce her sudden death, I found it very suspicious and I had been following up on that for years.

Evidences we managed to find tell me that perhaps aunt Sherry did not die at all. When we get

married, I become the son-in-law of the Xia clan, which will make it easy for me to further investigate

that issue,"

Said Charles with an indifferent tone.

However, it is obvious that when he mentioned his aunt Sherry, his eyebrows started to loosen up a

little.

Observing Charles's expressions, Linda knew that he was not lying for she had conducted exhaustive

research on micro-expressions and psychology. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

"Very well, I am following the same case. We might as well join hands. However I do have two

requirements."

Linda continued leafing through the file, which stipulated that Charles will help Linda with her

investigation into the death of her biological mother, Sherry Nalan, and he will also help to handle May

Shen. Once the truth was revealed, they would get a divorce.

Of course, when they did get divorced, Charles Mu would give CNY 10, 000, 000 in compensation to

Linda, which was more than enough for Linda to spend for the rest of her life.

Linda also did not want be tied up with someone she didn't love. The only reason she agreed to this

engagement was because she wanted to find more evidences and let those who had stirred up her

otherwise peaceful life and even tried to murder her pay for what they did!

"Name it."

"First, you shall not touch me! After we get married, you can not force yourself upon me. Secondly, I

don't want your money. I am a perfectly capable woman and I can feed myself."
