{Yuna Burgert’s perspective.]

After finishing the dessert, I struggled to get up, making sure I really could not eat another bite.

The butler and his men packed up everything and left, leaving only Andrew and me in the huge room. I felt my scalp tingle at the thought of sleeping with him at night. Perhaps I could really sleep in the living room. I used my eyes to glance at the sofa in the living room. It looked quite spacious, so I
definitely could sleep.

“Let’s talk.”

I did not know when, but Andrew had already sat in the living room. He put down the computer in his hand and waved at me.

I remembered what had happened at the elevator in the afternoon. I cautiously maintained a distance between us and sat down.
“What do you want to talk about?”

“Are you aware of the current situation, Miss Yuna?”

Andrew stared at me with his sharp eyes and used a rare respectful title toward me.

I thought about the information that I had received from different people over the past two days and replied, “You want the Burgert villa, but you’re also afraid of the influence of other families. Hence, you need Burgert’s only Young Lady to be your fiancée to protect you from all of this. You even need her
to inherit the position of the head of the Burgert family to stabilize the situation. You need my help.”

It was silent for a moment.

I tried to guess whether I was right or not from Andrew’s expression, but I got nothing.

“Clap, clap, clap. Crisp applause suddenly sounded. It was precisely Andrew who was clapping. I looked at him inexplicably. I did not know what this young and promising head of the Alex family was thinking.
“You’re really smart and bold.” Andrew smiled playfully. “Sweetheart, you’re more interesting than I thought.”

1 knew that I was right. Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, I heard him continue, “According to what you said, I need your help. Are you willing to help me?”

“Ican help you, bu
“But…” Andrew stood up and walked over. He suddenly closed the distance between us. He propped his hand on the sofa behind me and looked down at me. “What right do you have to negotiate with me?”
Iwas shocked. At this moment, although Andrew still had the smile from before, there was not a trace of happiness on his face.

“L.. I’m useful to you!”

“That’s right. You’re indeed useful to me because you’re the Young Lady of the Burgert family. Since you have analyzed the situation so clearly, then the Young Lady of the Burgert family can naturally be used by anyone. After I kill you, wouldn’t it be better to find someone who won’t lie to me on our first
meeting and try to play tricks on me?” He asked aggressively.

I did not know how to answer him.

Suddenly, Andrew retracted the aura around him and sat on the side as if nothing had happened. He poured himself a glass of red wine.

“Do you still want to negotiate with me with such little thoughts?” He sneered. “You don’t even know your own bargaining chips, and you want to negotiate with me? My dear, you’re too anxious.”

I tried to calm my breathing when he spoke again. “But I can agree to your terms. Tell me, what do you want?”

I looked at this fickle man with a strange gaze. I was not sure if I should speak.

“Or do you have no conditions at all and are willing to cooperate with me obediently?” Andrew took a sip of his wine and smiled ambiguously. “That’s good too…”

“No! I do have!” I quickly said.

“As long as you don’t force me, I’m willing to do my best to act as your fiancée,” I quickly said, “I can also use my identity as the head of the Burgert family to help you obtain the Burgert villa. However, can I go and look for my mother?”

Seeing that Andrew did not say anything, I pleaded, “I can help you with everything you want. But after you get the Burgert villa, I won’t be of any use anymore. I’m not greedy for the status and property of the Alex family. I just want to find my mother and live a peaceful life with her. I won’t disturb you in
the future. Please, sir.”

“Ican promise not to force you, but you have to fulfill your obligations as a fiancee,” Andrew finally said.
“No problem.” I looked at him with hope.

“You can not leave Alex Manor, and you can not leave my side.”

Iwas stunned. I did not understand why.

“Twill send people to find your mother,” Andrew said with a cold face.

“why?”

‘My words seemed to anger Andrew. He pounced on me and pressed against me.

“Why do you want to leave me?”

I struggled subconsciously, but the man was too strong.
I did not have much strength to push him away. I could feel the faint smell of alcohol on my throat, making me feel a little dangerous.
“Hey, Andrew. No, you can’t do this to your fiancee! You can’t use violence to solve the problem…”

‘My shouting did not have any effect. He was still pressing down on me.I felt extremely embarrassed.

“You promised that you wouldn’t force me, didn’t you!”

“Force you?”

‘The man put his arm around my waist and wrapped his other hand around my knee, lifting me up.

“Don’t forget you have a fiancee duty to fulfill, too.”
