Chapter 459 Justified Reasoning

"I don't mean to be like this, you know! But you said you liked when I'm cheeky, so I'm cheeky justfor you!" Daniel carried on with his shameless antics.

"Get lost!"

...

In the deep silence of the night, as everyone else seemed to be at rest, Beauty was not. She tossedand turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, and finally decided to get up and head to Jessica's room.

Knock!

Knock knock!

Inside her room, a sleep-groggy Jessica was rudely awakened by the noise. She irritatinglyassumed it was Daniel and barked, "Idiot, why aren't you sleeping at this hour? Stop knocking! Thedoor isn't locked; just roll yourself in!"

Outside, Beauty was shocked by what she heard. Although she knew Jessica and Daniel weremarried, she always believed it was a marriage of convenience. But Jessica's words implied thatDaniel must have not only knocked like that before but that he also took the invitation to 'roll in.'

This suggested that something more had happened between them after he rolled in!

Beauty, without even realizing, began to let her imagination run wild, and she could feel a peculiartwinge in her heart—as if she were jealous.

No, that couldn't be right. How could she possibly be jealous over a country boy? She wasn'tjealous; she was just feeling sorry for Jessica. Why should some country boy have the chance to

take advantage of her? If he really did take advantage of Jessica, Beauty wouldn't let it slide. She'dgrab a pair of scissors and, well, he'd get what he deserved!

Pushing the door open, Beauty stepped into the bedroom. There, she found Jessica lying on theside in a strappy nightgown that left much of her chest exposed, and the bedside lamp was still on.The scene was filled with an aura of intimacy.

Jessica was stunned to see that it was Beauty who entered.

"Why is it you?"

She instinctively pulled the covers up to hide her chest.

"Jessica, something's off with you! You thought it was that country boy at the door, so you purposelyturned on the bedside lamp and even pulled down your covers. Then when you saw it was me, youquickly covered up. What, it's fine for the country boy to see, but I can't?"

"Just stop it! What do you want, coming to my room in the middle of the night?"

"Nevermind that for now." Beauty gave Jessica a serious look and asked, "Tell me, have you andthat country boy... you know?"

"Why should I tell you? That's a private matter between him and me!"

Jessica deliberately said this to fuel Beauty's misunderstandings. She wanted Beauty to carry thisfalse impression back to her mother and convey that Jessica had already slept with Daniel.

"A private matter, huh?" Beauty suddenly reached under the covers and gave Jessica a quick feel.

"Ah!" Jessica screamed instantly.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Jessica's panicked reaction, Beauty couldn't help but laugh.

"Looks like nothing's happened between you and that country boy."

"How did you know?"

"If you’d been with a man, you wouldn't be scared of a man's touch, so why would my hand scareyou? You said that just now to make me tell your mom that you've been to bed with that country boy,didn't you?"

With just a little probing, Beauty swiftly unraveled Jessica's lies.
