Jason Lockwood hadn’t expected that to happen, either. An unnatural flush crept up his handsome face. He awkwardly pulled his hand away and ordered in a cold voice, "Get down!"

"..." Blushing, Jasmine Warren got down from his back.

Never having experienced anything like this, her eyes grew red-rimmed, and she felt so wronged she was on the verge of tears.

’That bastard... How dare he...’

The more she thought about it, the angrier and more wronged she felt. Finally, she threw all caution to the wind and plopped right down onto the floor.

And began to wail...

Jason Lockwood had still been feeling awkward and uncomfortable, but her next move left him completely baffled.

He turned to look at the woman sitting on the floor, a pitiful, sobbing mess. His handsome brows furrowed in displeasure. "What are you crying for?"

"Waaah... You bastard! You took advantage of me, and you have the nerve to act so righteous! Why don’t you just drop dead!"

"I took advantage of you? With your looks, is there even any advantage to take?" Jason Lockwood was so furious he could have strangled her.

"P-pervert! You big pervert! You... you did *that* to me, and you still won’t admit it!"

"With those elephant legs of yours? If I *did*... that to you, I’d be disgusted with myself." Jason Lockwood’s handsome face flushed unnaturally once more as he tilted his head back arrogantly and sneered.

"You son of a bitch! You and your plastic surgery face! I’m going to kill you if it’s the last thing I do!!!" Jasmine Warren shouted, scrambling up from the floor. She grabbed a nearby stool and hurled it at him.

The man dodged it smoothly. Undeterred, the woman grabbed a vase and prepared to hurl that at him, too.

Seeing this, Jason Lockwood strode over and seized her arm, barking coldly, "Have you caused enough of a scene?!"

"You bastard! You took advantage of me! Give it back! Give it back!" ’If anyone was going to take advantage of me, it was only supposed to be Avery!’

"Then what do you want me to do? How am I supposed to ’give it back’?" ’It already happened. What does she expect me to do about it?’

’This woman is making such a scene, you’d think I was desperate to take advantage of her.’

"I don’t care! You just have to give it back! Otherwise, I’ll smash this entire place to pieces! Worst case, we’ll just take each other down!"

"You’re being ridiculous! How about this? Why don’t you take advantage of me in return?"

Jasmine Warren was so flustered her heart pounded and her face went red. "I would never be as shameless as you!"

"Then what do you propose? Surely you don’t expect me to... do it again... to ’give it back’ to you?" As he spoke, Jason Lockwood was already doing just that.

Jasmine Warren froze as if she’d been petrified, not daring to move a single muscle.

A shudder wracked her body. "AAAAH! Are you insane?! Let me go!"

Jason Lockwood released her. He covered his mouth and let out two deliberately casual coughs before saying in a deep voice, "You’re the one who said you didn’t want it back." ’She asked me to return it, so I did.’

"Ahhh! Pervert! You absolute pervert! I’m going to report you for indecent assault!"

Jason Lockwood gave Jasmine Warren a wicked look, his eyes raking over her. "Hmph. Go ahead and report me. But I’m quite sure that with a face like yours, no one would believe I’d sexually assault you."

"You despicable man!"

"Why, thank you for the compliment." ’I’ve never been a ’great man.’ ’Despicable’ seems to fit me much better.’

"AAAAH! I’m going crazy! Crazy! How can any man be so shameless!" ’How could anyone possibly be this shameless?’
