Without anyone excluded, starstruck expressions and gasps spread through the room. Few in the room had difficulty believing what they heard; Clayton was the prime example of that.

Due to the immense shock, he let out of her cheeks and blinked his eyes multiple times before her, unable to understand the situation.

Once the shock was gone from their faces, the maids were in awe with their young lady. Seeing her stand up for herself and say those mature words for the first time managed to strike them at their heartstrings.

Everyone present wanted to see this continue further.

"Yah! Why are you acting—"

"Don't put your hand on my shoulder," she voiced out, "Since you abused me until this age, I am still shaken up in your presence."

The earlier words were somewhat acceptable, but this time around, they couldn't believe it further. How did a docile child learn to say something as sharp and mature as this?

Their young lady did not hang around with anyone suspicious, and her education was overseen by all of them personally. Could it be that this was the natural personality of their Young Lady?

"What? What? What? Why are you looking at me like this? If you keep on crossing this line, I will teach you a lesson you will regret," he threatened, pointing his finger at her.

The corner of her lips curved to form a smirk while mock was visible in her eyes before she voiced out, "Pathetic."

Although this situation was quite interesting, Betty knew that this could be bad for the Young Lady's reputation if it got out. Not all of the maids here trustworthy, and she did not want the Young Lady to be the target of malicious gossips.

With that intent in her mind, Betty took a step forward, but before she was able to say anything, Lyle interrupted. As the most mature one, he had a clear understanding of how the situation might unravel.

"Leave us alone," he ordered— his voice loud and clear.

Although couple of the maids were reluctant, with a bow, they obediently left the room, closing the door. Betty was included in the bunch as well.

Unfortunately, before Seraphine was able to go too— for being in the room with this two made her feel suffocated— the door was closed. Seeing the huge door before her made her feel baffled.

Shouldn't they put her into consideration and make it smaller?

Standing on her toes, she tried to reach the handle, but that effort wasn't enough. She was still couple of centimetres away from that golden handle.

Knowing that she might seem like a joke to the other two, a frustrated sigh escaped from her parted lips.

Despite of the moans that left her mouth and how much she tried to stretch her hand, it didn't seem possible for her. 

"Midget, give up! You can't do it!" Clayton commented.

Certainly, she wanted to ignore the idiot, but the thing was that if she did that, the idiot— who easily can't get things through his head— might believe that she is subservient to him.

"Can't you just keep your mouth shut? One would think that you are smart for once," she voiced out.

Her words infuriated the man to no end. Taking in a deep breath, his cheeks started to redden, and he made his steps towards her— his eyes glaring at her. 

With her hands folded over her chest, she stared at him mock, and the corner of her lips were curved upwards. Dealing with him was a piece of cake.

"You! You! You! What would a midget like you know? I have been called genius multiple number of times! So, shut your mouth if you don't want to get beaten up," he voiced out.

Bringing her face closer to her, she scoffed and said, "Don't you think that those are just empty words. Even if you looked like a pig, they would call you handsome. I can't believe that you were stupid enough to believe that."

Before Clayton was able to retort, Lyle, wearing a immaculate smile on his face, pushed his glass upwards slightly and said, "Now, that's not a way to speak to your older brother, Seraphine, is it?"

Although the younger was easy to deal with, the same couldn't be said for Clayton— who was the smarter on. 

Being in charge of Seraphine's education, he basically controlled all aspects of her life. Not only had he restrained the girl, he also was quite strict to her from a young age.

Due to it, 'Seraphine' was better in most aspects that those of her age. When the kids should be playing, she was put in a room by her brother and was made to study. 

Although this made her be known as one of the talented girls in the country, giving up a childhood for it wasn't fair. Moreover, it didn't seem that 'Seraphine' wasn't exactly excited for it.

It was just that her masochistic and obedient personality that made owe persist through it.

Seraphine was aware of how Lyle's words contained a threat; that glint in his eyes confirmed it. Everytime she did anything wrong, Lyle would punish her, and in no way did she consider those punishments to be humane for a young child.

Staring at Lyle with her innocence filled eyes, Seraphine bowed at Clayton and then Lyle before saying, "I am sorry."

Then, standing up straight, she added, "I am really sorry for being honest. Brother Lyle is right. I shouldn't be rude and bring up something you lack. It's not good to make fun of other's weakness like this."

During the entire time, her eyes seemed to read, 'Now, try to go against that! Assholes!'

While Lyle remained speechless, Clayton, on the other hand, spoke out, "It's good as long as you understand— Did you just insult me right now, You Midget!?"

Blinking her eyes multiple number of times, Seraphine confusedly said, "What do you mean? Did I do something wrong again?"

Going over to her, Clayton placed his hand on her shoulder and stated, "It seems that we need to work on your manners more. 

Now, return to your room, Seraphine, and don't go outside. An important person will be coming tomorrow, and you need to take care of yourself properly before that."

  • Help! I don't want to be the female lead   The end

    Both Jiyeon and Taeyang was on the cleaning duty for the class. As Jiyeon was arranging the table, she noticed that Taeyang was staring at her with a mildly amused smile on his face.That aggravated her, and she expressed, “What? What are you looking at?”Without saying anything, he made his way over to her. Then, extending his hand, he touched her face and stroked it before voicing out, “You don’t have to do anything to make me jealous.”Her eyes widened at his words, and she stepped back, feeling totally exposed under that gaze of his.She then stuttered, “W-What do you mean?”Clearing her throat, she spoke with more confidence: “What sort of nonsense are you uttering now? Me making you jealous? Why would I do something so absurd?”She scoffed.He chuckled and stated, “Is that so? I know you well, Seraphine. You can’t hide from me.”“What? How can y

    “Hold on, hold on, he actually said that to you!?” Aera exclaimed in disbelief. “Whoa! He is seriously a player.”Sitting on her bed, Jiyeon took a sip from her strawberry milk and stared down. The events of the other day still heated up her cheeks. Taeyang simply looked too dashing.“How did he know I was there though?” Jiyeon questioned. “Could it be a coincidence?”“About that,” Aera voiced out, “I might have spilled out your location to him.”Jiyeon raised an eyebrow.“Well, he called me, asking where you are as your phone was shut off, and I told him you’re on a date. Then, he questioned me about the location, and he is too scary. I wasn’t able to hide it.”Jiyeon could see where Aera was coming from. After the confrontation she had with Taeyang the other day, he really had a fierce side to him. Maybe because she w

    Just as she was about to hug Yejoon, Jiyeon felt herself being dragged back by a large force, and this caused her eyes to widen. She turned her head to look at the one behind it and was shocked to see Taeyang standing there.What was he doing here?His eyes fiercely stared at her, causing her to be shaken up, and it appeared that he was only slightly away from bursting off at her. This was the first time she had faced this side of hers, making her wonder on how she had possibly offended him.“Who are you? It’s too impolite to pull someone this way,” Yejoon voiced out.Jiyeon smiled at him and expressed, “It’s fine. I know him. You can leave now.”Yejoon seemed a little hesitant. Nonetheless, he nodded before leaving. Before she could wave her hand at him, her face was gripped by Taeyang, and he forced her to meet his eyes.“Who is he?” Taeyang questioned, and his tone held immense intensity&mda

  • Help! I don't want to be the female lead   Amusement park

    Jiyeon totally erased from her mind about asking Taeyang about why he stayed with her that night. This was surely done out of friendship, and there was no need to make the matters awkward by probing into this topic. This is how Jiyeon managed to convince herself.But when Taeyang came for the tutoring session on the next day, Jiyeon felt pained upon seeing him, and it was hard for her to keep on behaving normally as if nothing had happened. Taeyang surely had noticed something due to how silent she had been. That’s why, she appreciated him not asking anything about it.As Jiyeon was going through the book in her hand, Taeyang’s phone rang, and a picture popped up on the screen. It was the image of the woman she had seen with him yesterday; she was called Jihye.“Excuse me for a second.”With that said, he stood up and received the call. Jiyeon observed his expressions. His eyes widened for a second— probably shocked by what h

  • Help! I don't want to be the female lead   Heartbroken

    Jiyeon’s breathing for that instant stopped, and her heart clenched painfully. A nauseating feeling arose in her stomach. That’s why, holding her mouth, she stood up and rushed towards the washroom. At the same time, her eyes were flooded with tears.Seeing Jiyeon’s reaction caused a frown to form upon Taeyang’s features, and he did call after her. But she paid no mind to his words. He wanted to go after her, but that’s when his attention fell on her phone. It seemed that she saw something on the device.Picking the device up, his eyes fell on the screen, and that’s when he understood why she had shown such an intense reaction. This was due to a certain name she had seen— Kayden.He shut her phone and let out a sigh.°°°After washing her face, Jiyeon came out of the washroom and then said, “I am sorry. I suddenly felt sick.”Taeyang stood up and made his way over to Jiyeon. H

    Taeyang shot her a quizzical look, not clearly expecting her to mention this right now, before that changed to amusement, and he voiced out, “Why are you so curious about that?”Jiyeon believed that she had decent acting skills when she smiled and said, “Am I not your friend? This simply is an enough reason for me to know about it. Now, quick, quick, tell me who is it that managed to steal that heart of yours.”“Because you are my friend?” The boy stated.There was a certain amount of amusement present in his tone, and this caused her to feel nervous. Certainly, he didn’t notice her intentions, right? Although she did feel very much exposed under his gaze, she tried to convince herself that the boy wasn’t capable of reading minds.Jiyeon nodded.“Can I not ask as your friend about the girl you like?”“Of course, you can ask,” Taeyang said, “And as for who the perso
