The words of the Earl struck like a heavy hammer, fiercely impacting the heart of the young Earl.
Normally, he could sense his father's dislike for him.
But this was the first time he had been scolded to his face.
The young Earl's lips were tightly pressed, his teeth clenched, and a hint of madness flickered in his eyes.
His body began to struggle violently, completely disregarding the sharp dagger in Shi Shi's hand that was pressed against his delicate throat.
Shi Shi had thought this pretty boy was merely a paper tiger, but he suddenly erupted with such astonishing strength.
Her arm was shaken by the young Earl's struggles, and the dagger drew a shallow cut across his neck.
However, the young Earl seemed to no longer care about these things, his eyes only filled with the determination to break free, and his mouth emitted low and angry growls.
Shi Shi felt a hint of panic, she hadn't expected the young Earl to be so reckless.
Caught off guard, Shi Shi didn't think too much.
