After Sophia Hamilton finished speaking, Evander Lancaster sneered coldly, "She brought it on herself."

Sophia Hamilton looked at him incredulously, "How can you be like this? She’s your sister! She’s not a bad person!"

Listening to Sophia Hamilton’s righteous scolding, Evander Lancaster turned his gaze and looked over, his slightly raised phoenix eyes full of sarcasm. He smirked and retorted, "Sister? Do you think that’s something a sister should say to her brother?"

Sophia Hamilton...

Licked her lips, speechless. If she didn’t know she was Evander Lancaster’s cousin, she might have misunderstood too.

Evander Lancaster turned back, frowning as he drove, showing his displeasure. Seeing his demeanor, Sophia Hamilton suddenly felt like teasing.

Her eyes turned sly, she leaned in closer and deliberately whispered, "Hey, does your cousin have a thing for you?"

Evander Lancaster suddenly turned around, gritting his teeth in a threatening tone, "Little firecracker! Are you looking for a fight too?"

Sophia Hamilton shook her head playfully, "Fight, go ahead, if you have the guts, hit me like you hit your sister... see if I’ll obediently take it..."

Evander Lancaster was so amused and annoyed by her mischievousness that he turned back, chuckled lightly while he drove, biting his teeth, saying, "How could I bear to hit you."

Sophia Hamilton just proudly lifted her face, and then Evander Lancaster added, "Even if I wanted to hit you, I’d use other methods!"

Sophia Hamilton immediately became alert, curbing her pride and blurting out, "What methods?"

"Hmph!" Evander Lancaster scoffed coldly once more, then suddenly leaned closer to Sophia Hamilton, squinting his phoenix-like eyes, deliberately lowering his voice as he said word for word, "I would use a whip to smack your butt, making it sound, until you’re begging for mercy..."

Sophia Hamilton...

She smacked her lips, was she misunderstanding or was this guy just talking dirty?

Seemingly worried that the innocent Sophia Hamilton didn’t grasp the "profound" meaning behind his words, Evander Lancaster took another moment to explain, "My own personal whip!"

This time Sophia Hamilton finally understood, ah... so that’s really what he meant.

She raised her hand and punched him, hitting Evander Lancaster on the shoulder with considerable force, causing him to jerk, the steering wheel nearly turned half circle. Fortunately, the driveway was spacious preventing any danger.

At the same time, Sophia Hamilton’s roar echoed beside him.

"Bastard! If you talk dirty again I’ll cut off your whip!"

"Would you dare?" Evander Lancaster turned back, blinking his phoenix-like eyes flirtatiously, "With no whip, how could I make you feel good?"

Sophia Hamilton...

She bit her lip and pounced over, slapping Evander Lancaster a few times, only to have her wrist caught by him, his helpless tone revealing a trace of indulgence.

"Okay, okay, stop messing around, I’m driving."

"See if you dare speak again." Sophia Hamilton withdrew her wrist, pretended to be fierce, shaking her fist.

"Mm, I won’t say," Evander Lancaster agreed good-naturedly, just as Sophia Hamilton was about to feel smug, he added, "I’ll show through actions rather than words."

Sophia Hamilton...

In exasperation, she gave Evander Lancaster a glare, simply impossible to have a pleasant conversation, every couple of sentences tied to that matter.

The car drove out the "community" gates back the way it came, behind them in the big courtyard, Willow Lancaster hid in her room crying.

Her mother, Catherine Taylor, pushed the door open, stood at the entrance disapprovingly, sighed before going inside.

After closing the door, she reproached, "You child, really, why joke like that in front of so many people? There are so many good men on earth, why’ve you set your sights on that guy?"

"Mom, I just like second brother! I’ll marry no one but him!"
