It was clearly a prank, but Ansir’s answer still made the expression on my face stiffen.

I didn’t want to become a toy to satisfy his desires. I steeled my heart and tried my best to put on a cold and stern expression as I coldly replied, “President Ansir, I am only a student at Rockefeller, not your servant or believer. I have the right to choose whether to stay or leave.”

Ansir smiled again. He leaned down and whispered in my ear, “Where did you get your power? Or did the Symbiotic Treaty give you power to defy the vampires of noble ranking like this?”

“…”

At that moment, my struggling stopped. Facing the Treaty of Symbiosis, which was extremely unfair to humans, I didn’t seem to have any other choice but to obey.

At the same time, I can’t help but see Elvin’s elegant and gentle face.

Ansir and Elvin were both vampire nobles, but they were two extremes.

Elvin gave me the feeling of a spring breeze that was gentle and delicate, but Ansir was arrogant and overbearing. He was sometimes like a ball of blazing fire, burning so hot it made me shiver, unconsciously fearing his power.

I understood that Ansir was not a man who liked to reason or argue. I can’t go head on head with him. I can only try to outsmart him.

Soon, I thought of someone who could overpower Ansir!

The panic on my face disappeared. Instead, the corners of my lips curled up into a victorious smile. “Your Highness Ansir, if you really did something out of line to me today, aren’t you afraid that it will be difficult to clean up the mess?”

“You are just a human.” Ansir pinched my chin and stared into my eyes. He exhaled in front of me, provoking me. “How are you going to make me ‘unable to clean up’?”

“Of course, I don’t have that ability.” Even though he was so close, I still kept calm. “But Senior Yvette can. I’m a guest that she invited. If I remember correctly, she invited me here so that you can apologize to me.”

Upon hearing that, Ansir’s smile faded a little, and the grip on my arm loosened slightly. “So what?”

“If you force me to do something today, I will definitely report everything to Senior Yvette. I believe that with her impartiality and strictness, she will definitely not side with you.” I tried my best not to lose to him in terms of aura. In fact, when I said this, I still felt guilty and didn’t even dare to look Ansir in the eye.

As expected, Ansir stopped what he was doing. He looked at me with such fury that he wanted to burn a hole in me.

At this moment, the butler walked in hastily. He didn’t care how intimate our actions were. He just bowed to Ansir naturally, holding a gold-plated card. Then, he said respectfully,

“Young Master, Miss Sandena ran out crying just now. Before she left, she even threw down an invitation. Please take a look.”

Ansir let go of my arms and returned to his seat. He didn’t forget to raise his eyebrows at me and ask me to pour him a glass of red wine.

Of course, I didn’t want to provoke him at this critical moment, so I poured the wine as he had instructed.

He shook his wine glass and asked casually, “What’s written on it?”

The butler opened the invitation letter and replied, “It’s an invitation to the masquerade party held by the Evans Family. Miss Sandena wrote on the invitation letter that she hopes that you can participate and let more people know about your relationship.”

However, Ansir clearly ignored the second half of the message. A glint flashed across her eyes. “A masked ball party?”

He swirled the glass of red wine in one hand while his other hand casually tapped the table. As his fingertip tapped the table for the last time, his gaze turned to mine. His eyes wandered around as if he was looking at his prey.

“Go find her a mask. Just a plain one. She’s going to the ball party with me.”

I looked at him in disbelief. “Why do I have to go too?!”

Ansir raised her head and drank the red wine in her glass. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Or do you want to stay here and let me continue what I didn’t finish just now?”

“…” I couldn’t help but gulped under his dangerous stare. I subconsciously pulled my collar tighter and took a step back. “Okay, I’ll go.”

Ansir nodded in satisfaction and threw the mask, which the butler had prepared for me, at me. Then, he grabbed my hand and pulled me into the luxurious car at the door.

The car sped towards the destination like an arrow leaving the bowstring, and the lush trees quickly fell back.

I felt like the car ride took a long time. Ansir was sitting in the back with me, and the distance between us made me feel like I was sitting on pins and needles.

Only when a vast manor gradually appeared before my eyes did I see a glimmer of hope.

As soon as the car drove into the carved flower gate outside the manor, Ansir signaled for the driver to stop the car and let me walk in with my mask on.

I had finally gotten the chance to leave his side, so of course I got out of the car immediately.

Meanwhile, Ansir continued to take the car and drove all the way to the main entrance of the distant manor.

Watching the car drive out of my sight, I couldn’t help but feel uneasy. Was this guy planning something again?
