Capítulo 499: Chapter 499 Are You Seeking Death?

Fu Xing could tell from one look that Theresa hadn’t taken his words to heart, and immediately lost his patience. He turned to leave when Mina suddenly charged at him, attempting to throw herself into his arms.

Theresa’s eyes widened in shock, disbelieving, and she covered her mouth.

In her mind, she could already see what would happen next.

Indeed—

Bang!

Though Mina’s action was abrupt and her figure agile, she didn’t need Fu Xing to do anything, as someone nearby neatly blocked her.

Had they not known Mina’s identity and judged her harmless, they certainly wouldn’t have shown mercy.

Even so, Mina ended up falling on her bottom.

Sitting on the ground, her eyes brimming with tears, she looked at Fu Xing and stubbornly bit her lip.

Fu Xing furrowed his brow, a flash of impatience crossing his eyes.

“Are you alright?” Monger asked politely, “Let me help you up.”

“I don’t need your help.” Mina shook off Monger’s hand and boldly shouted at Fu Xing, “I heard what you just accused my aunt of. How can you be so impolite? You’ve disappointed me greatly, you don’t deserve to be the Guardian Duke.”

The young girl stood up from the ground, harshly rebuking him.

Everyone around was stunned.

Theresa wanted to speak but was subtly tugged by the maid beside her.

Despite her stubborn and tough attitude, Mina was incredibly nervous inside, continually regarding Fu Xing with eyes as pure and bewildered as a deer’s. When her gaze fell upon Fu Xing, she immediately blushed, turning away like a frightened rabbit.

“Is this a tactic inherited by your family? I’ve heard it’s how Ingrid first encountered Clive.” Fu Xing was truly gifted at berating others, able to shame them into wishing they could burrow underground.

“What nonsense? I don’t understand what you’re talking about at all.” Mina was both angry and anxious, and she broke down crying, “I cannot stand you slandering my aunt. My aunt devotedly protected Clive’s biological mother for nearly one hundred years. Do you know how she spent those years? Someone cold-hearted like you, who knows nothing of love, cannot comprehend her sacrifices and her greatness.”

“I truly pity you. You’re so realistic, selfish, cruel, and heartless, and you will never have anyone wait for you.”

“Are you seeking death?” Fu Xing’s gaze suddenly became fierce, his presence utterly chilling.

“I…” Mina was indeed frightened, but whenever she remembered the cutting words Fu Xing had said to her aunt, she couldn’t hold back. “Kill me if you want, I’m not afraid of you. After all, you Great Nobles never care about our lives.”

“Put a suppression ring on her, let her also taste the torture Ah Foo has endured.”

Fu Xing felt unbearable revulsion, convinced that Clive must have been brainwashed to have fallen for someone like this.

“Wait, what is a suppression ring?” Mina asked persistently, following behind, but someone forcefully stopped her. By then, she still didn’t understand what a suppression ring was until someone brought out a silver, collar-like metal ring, which she mistook for a necklace.

However, she suddenly felt the collar looked familiar, recalling that it was similar to what Lin Fu and Xia Huangyu wore, who were said by Clive’s people to be prisoners.

“I don’t want to be a prisoner; Duke Fuxing, you can’t imprison me. No, I don’t want this, let me go. I am free, even if you can imprison my body, you cannot imprison my soul.”

Mina cried out resolutely, unyielding.
